I was sold on liberal thinking, and DEI until I saw it's absurdity in the new Matt Walsh Documentary. Thank god for that film because I saw how absurd my thinking was, without Matt Walsh I wouldn't have changed the way I think. I started watching people on the other side of the fence like Tim Pool, Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, and I realized that they tend to use facts, while the ideology I was sold on just got mad and insulted people, but they don't actually every rationalize their position. I can't believe the incorrect thinking I had. I started taking an honest look at everything I had believed and realized that if I couldn't rationalize my position that it was likely wrong. I looked at Trump and why I didn't like him and realized it was media propaganda targeting him. My whole viewpoint changed because what I was thinking was wrong. I'll never vote democrat again.
Are you saying that you simply utilized the Socratic Method and understand Ethos vs. Pathos ?! Well YOU, SIR, are a Bigot 😃 I am joking, of course ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ WELCOME 🙏🏻 FRIEND ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Not a man falsely claiming women are more sensitive to pain than men yet ignores that menstrual pain is equivalent to a heart attack and more women suffer from severe OA than men . Women deny pain as a direct result of the medical profession literally torturing us for centuries telling us we’re just “weak” while using literal medieval torture devices in us and calling it a medical “specialty” labeled gynecology where literal surgery is routinely performed on us in office and without any pain management at all including amputating our cervix, gouging out hunks of living tissue yanked out of our organs and our organs impaled and yanked on with what looks like hay hooks and being told it’s just “pressure”. Sir, I strongly suggest you find a profession where you’re no longer intentionally harming the disabled and women. And doctors wonder why both groups don’t trust healthcare workers…. y’all lie to us and about us every chance you get. 🙄
Sir, ZERO studies prove any of what you claim. ZERO opioids cause pain. Why do you despise the disabled and women? The opioids are NOT causing deaths via heart attack or any other way when properly used. You’re making wild accusations without a single shred of verified data. You’re trying to blame opioids for all deaths. People die. Disabled people die. People with cancer die. People die. At no time have opioids caused pain. NOWHERE. Again, I ask why do you despise the disabled and women? Why are you lying about opioid pain meds? Are you aware that humans have used opioids safely and effectively for more than 4 thousand years?
Also, the “memory loss” you’re describing is a side effect of Gabapentin not full agonist opioids. The only opioid being “overprescribed” is Suboxone and the only anti seizure drug being over prescribed is Gabapentin. Fun fact, dose reduction in the disabled WILL cause adverse effects and increase a patient’s pain. Guess how I know? I have XLH and the resulting CKD and hyperparathyroidism that goes with it. I was forced to taper from my effective pain medication combination and lost all of my quality of life, was forced to become bedridden and forced me to become a burden on my family. Then I made the mistake of becoming menopausal. Not only was I suffering from my undercontrolled bone pain but I was being punished for daring to ask for treatment (HRT) for my menopause and to protect what little bone quality I have by forcing me to take Paxil. I ended up almost committing suicide. I only took the Paxil for 2 weeks in October of 2023. I’m just now recovering my old self that knew joy and happiness. How did it get turned around? Restoring one of my breakthrough doses of full agonist opioid and HRT. The HRT began 3 weeks ago. My hot flashes gone for the past 4 days and the past week has seen my crying and despair disappear over the past few days. I reported the doctor that forced me to take Paxil off label and was assigned to new one. My breakthrough dose of pain medication being restored 2 months ago made a huge difference in my quality enough so that the doctor and nurse both remarked on it at my follow up appointment a month ago when they started me on HRT. STOP experimenting on the disabled and women. It’s cruelty for the sake of it and frankly it breaks every oath you take as a physician. We’re not your Guinea pigs nor lab rats. Find your humanity and stop torturing the disabled and women. The disability community is starting to fight back in self defense via filing wrongful death and malpractice lawsuits against the doctors and nurses torturing us and we have recorded evidence to back us up and we’re going straight to the sources of where healthcare “professionals” are learning this nonsense you’re espousing with such bravado. To put things in better perspective for you better, the next time you or your loved ones have an emergency/injury REFUSE all opioids for treatment of any pain regardless of how bad the injury /illness is. Remember YOU stated that opioids CAUSE pain, NOT relieve it and that they make one “emotionless”. You and I BOTH KNOW you and your family will never refuse opioid pain relief because you KNOW it works better than anything else and is absolutely safe when used as directed especially for long term use in chronic pain. You’re welcome to lie but it won’t be without fact checking and the lies WILL be called out and proven why they’re false. Good day to you and may you have the day Karma allows you to have.
@@shorti6770Paxil gave me serotonin syndrome back in the 90’s when it was new and even then was given as something to allegedly help pain. I was having seizures and worse pain after using it and it made me feel “emotionless.” Opioids helped me be able to lead a normal life until I was forcibly tapered against my will. If opioids caused pain no one would even want to take them. His argument is so obviously wrong that even a child could see that opioids work for pain, not the opposite.
You are a liar. Who is paying you to promote these lies? I cannot disagree with you more. None of my experience with pain medication support ANY of the lies you promote. You are a criminal. Plain and simple.
Wow, using a reusable item is good for the environment, really insightful stuff. Plastic has permeated every single part of our world, from the deepest ravine to the highest mountains, and now includes your brain, heart, and lungs. We are all part of a widespread involuntary experiment to see how much plastic biological life can handle. I wonder what it will take for people to realize the society of convenience is killing us, and taking the natural world with it.
The responsibility for plastic waste needs to be put on billion dollar companies and countries rather than expecting the average consumer (particularly in poorer countries where single use items are often the only thing available!) to solve this issue. And creating extra reusable products made of cotton (like tote bags), for example, is also a major environmental strain on the textile industry too. Things do not just appear on store shelves or on your doorstep without a ton of production stages that create their own cycles of waste. Which is also why the "zero waste" movement is just hogwash and marketing garbage.
Plastics are really bad for the environment. As far as the title goes, any idiot knows banning plastics is not going to “save the Earth“ I was expecting better from MIT
Here in the UK we get charged for bags in stores, and it's a great motivator. I have 'single use' bags I've used for years at this point, a cache in the car, a cache in my everyday work bag, a couple in the gym kit, a couple in my fancy bag. It's an easy lifestyle once you get used to it :D
This is very much a thing in the US and not once has it helped me remember. I shop club channel mostly, which doesn’t use bags, and I forget in regular stores 60% of the time.
This kind of rational thinking is in desperately short supply in today's indoctrination factories (a/k/a universities and colleges). Bravo to this professor.
I don't know where you got most of your information--who prescribes "carfentanyl!!!!???" LMAO. You are stating things as "fact," without disclosing that MANY studies refute what you are touting. You and your ilk do this for money. How many pain patients have you treated?
Thanks, Shelie! In particular, I like your emphasis on considering alternative courses of action. Because singe use plastic bags or cups are "bad" does not mean that their replacements are any better. Btw, you mention single use placstics and their damage to marine life. Well, is there any data on how likely it s that a disposable plastic bag that one of your students places in a trash can at Ann Arbour campus actually ends up harming marine life?
Look up “the great Pacific garbage patch” not sure if there’s a plastic bag in there from Ann Arbor but there’s plenty of plastic crap in there from everywhere else. What the hell does it matter if it’s from Ann Arbor or not? SMH
"As a concrete example of this, emerging evidence suggests that income support policies that reduce an individual's financial strain may also be associated with reduced firearm homicides." There's so much hedging in this sentence. "Emerging evidence" means the data is new, and hasn't had time to be replicated or debunked by the broader scientific community. The phrase "may be associated" implies we don't know if the association is real, and if it is real, we don't know if the association is causal. And even if the association is real, and it is casual, without a numeric estimate of the effect size relative to the costs we don't know whether the juice is worth the squeeze. And yet here you are, making policy recommendations based on evidence you admit is emergent and non-conclusive.
