Haemosiderin staining

"Haemosiderin staining" describes orange/red/brown skin hyperpigmentation caused by haemosiderin (an iron-containing pigment found in blood) leaking into the skin.

Causes:

Chronic venous insufficiency (in lower legs)

Skin inflammation

Trauma e.g. wound, fracture, surgery

Pigmented purpuric dermatoses

Haemochromatosis

Haemosiderin staining may be exacerbated by anticoagulant use as this increases extravasation (leakage) of red blood cells into the skin.

See an example here.

I’m totally not suffering from clinical zoanthropy I just *insert some crazy shit about phenotypes and genotypes here*

[pshiftcultureis]

I was curious, I'm a clinical Lycanthrope who doesn't experience physical shifts (only psychological which present as a real physical shift to myself) but I do support physical shifters, is it required that I block and not interact even if I understand and support p-shifters because I'm clinical? (/genq)

Hey, thanks for asking!

No, it's okay to not block us. We ask that anyone who is triggered by p-shifting or p-shifters to block us, but if you are in support you don't have to.

hope this answers your question ^^

I guess you can say this first week of clinical put me in some STICKY situations 🤓

But all jokes aside - i’m so happy to have finally done this in my nursing career. My first one was special, but to do more afterwards gave me a boost to my pride & confidence that I can’t describe 🖤

A Morning Missive on the State of the Art of Psychotherapy:

The only real “treatments” that psychotherapy has to offer are authentic attending, accountable relating, and the normalizing acceptance of one’s personhood and lot, while gently tending to a vision of how things might be, while not forsaking the fundamental okay-ness of how they are. The value and efficacy of these things cannot be overstated, despite their generally qualitative rather than quantitative bent.

Psychotherapy would be far better off if it could distance itself from its preoccupation with solutions and fixes, and if it would remember that when something seems too good to be true, it is. Real problems are rarely resolved rapidly, and certainly not outside of the context of real relating.

Therapists have no prescription pad for a reason. Our job is not to try to perform an end run around the absolute necessity of self-exploration, self-acceptance, and self-situation, rather, it’s to facilitate those things, and to sacralize the process so as to render it accessible, bearable, and consequential.

When therapists stopped being trained primarily through the process of undergoing their own longitudinal psychodynamic sojourn, the profession entered a long, steady decline. It became theoretical and provisional, rather than experiential and realized. It’s not that there was ever a perfect iteration of this work, but it is that incarnations devoid of mandated self-exploration have deviated from the path of perfection. When we swapped pastoral identities for medical personas we lost not only ourselves, but our people, who became first our patients, and then our clients.

I’m reminded that even Freud retrospectively viewed himself as less of a physician than as a “secular pastoral worker.” We could only be so lucky to do the same.

Despite Challenges, Clinical Research Must Include Women of Reproductive Age

HealthyWomen hosted a congressional briefing, “Women in Clinical Trials: The Challenge of Research During the Reproductive Years,” on June 1, 2023.Clinical trials have long been focused on white men, leaving women woefully underrepresented. Lack of diversity in clinical trials means that healthcare providers (HCPs) often don’t have enough data about how certain conditions affect women or what…
