You hear about these private pay full body "screening" MRIs people get now? $3k for an shit-tier mri that's not phased correctly for anything and makes you chase sasquatch incidentalomas with CTs Some patients are the dumbest marks and it absolutely should be a felony to market bullshit like this
Usually the ppl that get these have way too much money and self admiration anyway so fuck it. They have a concierge medicine doc who probably has a stake in the MRI scanner. I have never read a full body MRI but if I was in a group that had it as part of the business I wouldn’t feel too squeamish about it considering it’s no radiation and the aforementioned patient demographics. They must be an absolute bitch to read to be honest, too much liability for me to have to squint at the chest for example and miss a lung nodule that ends up being cancer
Right so the irony is you have to overread everything, and now you get a full body CT to follow up all the bullshit. "Take the results to your primary to discuss." I've seen two of these idiots now. Yeah, i guess i agree, they deserve to lose their money
For the tmb bros with more money than sense https://www.prenuvo.com/the-scan The scan is out of pocket, but most insurance providers will cover the follow-up visit with your doctor to call you an idiot
Isn't it just a giant scout? I imagine to get the correct sequences you'd have to be in there for hours. But and here me out here, pnk$krtcrÿnästÿ we could market the contrast as an extra 3k kidney cleanse
Yep. The images are hot fucking garbage. Most of the unmeasurable "nodules" I've followed are nothing at all Why someone hasn't marketed a "kidney cleanse" yet is beyond me. The number of people i see with "not, like, so much a pain, per se, but like a sensation of awareness" where they think their kidney is is absurd. With some lazy marketing, could charge $500 easily for them to sit in a chair and drink water. Turn the thermostat up to 85 and we could charge $800 for a hot cleanse. I need to get rid of these scruples
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7929776/ Have never read one but I do read MRIs of brain, spine, abdomen so could probably do it. According to that article they can do it in less than 40 mins. It’s done without contrast. Just FYI risks to the kidney for CT or MRI contrast are both vastly exaggerated for majority of ppl
Ecancermedicalscience sounds like someone was like "quick, cram as many buzzwords into the title so our shitposting journal sounds legit" lol
Medicine shouldn't exist in the private sector. People should never be allowed to consume healthcare. That's the end of it back to blaming Brandon for shit
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/rcna144647 Bipartisan spending bill includes effective ban on Pride flags over U.S. embassies love when even basic, superficial levels of support are on the negotiating block with fascists
I read somewhere that it's a clause saying only the US flag can be flown on embassies and military bases. People can still display whatever they want, just the official flag hanging on the building has to be the US flag. The reason Republicans are doing it is gross but the policy in general honestly makes sense to me. It's a US embassy, it should have the US one imo. Agreeing with something they suggest makes me feel wrong so I even question myself on that one.
Everyone’s hoping the polling for 18-34 is off but can’t say I love seeing stories on Reddit about Gen z not having sex or relationships because life is too expensive. I think there’s a lot of other shit going on with social media too.
I was broke 18-34 and had lots of sex and relationships and it was much easier to live more affordably what are these shitbirds doing?
18-26 this is true 30-34 not so much, still don’t buy these polls people are commanding way more at the entry level
I could see them having less sex / relationships because they don’t go out to bars/don’t drink like previous generations, are terminally online, and have smaller friend groups who they rarely see in person. Being broke doesn’t mean you can’t get laid, that’s ridiculous.
Millennials were just as disillusioned, but we went out with the boys. I used to think highly of gen z, but I just can't relate to anything about them. And apparently they're bringing catholicism back? Disaster of a generation.
I mean there's utter delusion among the younger half of that group about now vs the great recession era. Toss up that this was an actual headline recently
it’s not people with “entry level” jobs who are doomposting. i’m friends with lots of zoomers and very late millennials and they basically all work hourly jobs part time with no benefits. and as a result they feel zero optimism, regardless of good jobs numbers and booming 401ks
I love how the only republican solution to solve the “problem” of people living on the street near where they walk is to throw them in jail… which would cost way more than just finding them a home
Think millennials kinda ruined sex Or hospitalizing them. Homelessness remains one of thee most infuriating ways our society keeps tripping over the petrified turd that is conservatism. It's so fucking absurd how much better our society could be if every republican killed themselves immediately
that and immigration. For clarities sake I only put problem parenthesis because their “problem” is that they’re in their way, not that they’re homeless at all
FWIW they offered to host our fundraising tournament for free and I instead booked a place charging us $200 a head. Also I’d 100% whoop his ass if it was a legit round
