"Well if you can't, you can't. Thank you for giving us your time and effort into looking. I'm not sure what is causing our score to be poor, but I will look into it immediately." She smiled courteously, composure kept and level headed, despite internally… "WHAT THE HELL!? CREDIT SCORE TOO LOW?! THAT CAN'T BE! I've been working on raising that for the last year! I'm nearly debt free! …if you don't include those 3 loans I had to take out recently…" She stood up from the chair that sat across from the Proxy, lifting her bag with her. She had one more card to try, but it was a gamble. Then again, it always was a gamble in this business. "I will just have to contact my other proxy, Phaethon, for our next endeavor. I'm sure they will be delighted to work with me again. Have a good day!" She winked and turned to walk away, waiting for a brief second to see if the bait would be taken and exceptions be made to form a business partnership. If not, then her debt will only grow with the kind proxy team…

This approach wasn't exactly subtle. Mentioning a competitor, waiting for the response... treating her like a rookie. Yes, Riley's services were reasonably late to the scene, but in her opinion, safety was a much higher priority than being first to market. Her phylactery/possession trick shouldn't work -- something about the medium of Ether allowed her to use otherwise modest synecdocheal magic to reach out and 'skill-share' over vast distances... Not that that was relevant. No, the important thing was that she was being played, and pride was threatening to supersede reason. She didn't need the Hares' business! They were unreliable and shady -- beyond the very much black market that was Hollow raiding, at that.

And yet...

"Tch. Hang on." She leaned down, pulled something out of her desk drawers. Not something: a disposable phlebotomy kit. Vacuum sealed, obsessively sterile.

"In the case that you get your credit score up, it's for the best that I have a sample prepared." I don't want to let anyone die in a Hollow. "Come here. I'll need about as much as a full blood draw, so get some orange juice and a cookie once you leave." This was an accounting firm, after all; they didn't exactly have a cool-down chair for patients.

I've been seeing the term diy hrt around, I've never heard of it before but I assume the name is self explanatory. Is it like where you make your own T or what? Is it cheaper than going through therapy and getting a diagnosis and prescription? Or is it something else entirely?If you have any resources on what it is exactly/how to safely start diy hrt could you answer with a short explanation or some links(preferebly within tumbler posts, I can't look anything up on this topic, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you with this question).

Again sorry to bother you, hope you have a nice day.

Sincerely, a trans guy in serious need of HRT

Long answer, sorry…

DIY HRT is just a catch-all term for “not under supervision/guidance of a doctor”. The most well-known example of this is grey market estrogen bought online, but it can really look like anything. Using leftover patches of your friend, getting spare vials from a guy with a stockpile, buying HRT online… etc. Resources for trans guys who want to DIY are a bit harder to find because T has actual legal repercussions in most places.

In my case, I’m mostly taking the piss because a lot of people seem to think that if you take hormones without a doctor who has no fucking clue what they’re doing to shrug at you, you’ll fucking explode and die.

I’m a dual-citizen. In the States I have a prescription through Planned Parenthood, but where I actually live trans care is abysmal. We have a local group of transmascs who used to stock up abroad then distribute/sell T to the others who didn’t have a prescription. Nowadays though the T shortage in Europe isn’t as bad and our country isn’t as serious about restricting T, so I found a way to buy mine without a prescription.

Getting bloodwork privately and checking your own levels is pretty easy once you know what to ask for and know how to read your results. Big news: the labs don’t actually give a shit what the results say, they’re just going to give it to you. If a “woman” shows up and gets hormones tested and has male range T levels they’re not going to do jack shit about it because their job is just to test it and tell you. I’ve been doing my own bloodwork and adjusting my own dose based on my levels and how I feel for the last 2 years and I haven’t died horribly yet.

It’s not cheaper, unfortunately, because it’s all out of pocket. Insurance coverage would be really nice but I don’t want to risk having a transphobic doctor tell me what to do. (I wouldn’t listen)

The least blatantly illegal way I can think of DIYing is having a friend whose vials are prescribed single-use and sharing it. That way he’s not losing out, and you get to partake too. Where I live they sell ampoules, not vials, so you have to break them open to use them. Me and my best friend get together for shots sometimes to waste less by drawing up from the same ampoule, since we have to throw out whatever is left anyways. Nothing inherently dangerous about it as long as you’re all using sterile needles and syringes.

I have also seen cases where guys who suddenly switch to a different form of T (gel to injections or vice versa) and have some left over will give away their remainder to someone local.

If you’re in the States, I highly recommend trying Planned Parenthood or an informed consent clinic. I did my initial appointment over telehealth, signed some forms digitally, and had my prescription sent to the pharmacy of my choice the same day. It costed me like $170 without insurance. The prices vary regionally but you can try to ask for a price estimate if they offer gender services in your area.

If you lived in my city I would tell you to meet up with me in real and I’ll show you the pharmacy chain I go to and buy for you until you pass well enough to buy it yourself. Штета.

Dosing is easy. If you’re on cypionate or enthanate, those are weekly doses. You can start at 20-40mg a week and raise your dose little by little each week until you’re at a place you’re comfortable with or until you get the dose that works best for your body. It’s better to dose a little low than too high.

As for doing bloodwork? If private labs are easily accessible, ask for the following things: testosterone, estrogen (I do E2 estradiol), cholesterol, and hematocrit. Personally I get hormones, cholesterol, and a general blood test packet because it covers the rest. Make sure your hormones levels are in male range—look them up online if your results only show female ranges—and make sure your hematocrit and cholesterol aren’t getting too high either. Better to have slightly lower T levels and be healthy everywhere else than high T but also bad health elsewhere.

If money is an issue I get it. It’s not great for me either lol. I’ve had to delay my bloodwork for weeks because we get paid monthly and I didn’t have the $50 to spare for it, and I only just got a job that offers me any financial stability. Do what you can.

I’m sorry that I can’t give you resources on where exactly to acquire testosterone (and posting about them publicly risks getting them shut down, even if I did know) but I can advise you on how to care for yourself once you’ve gotten your hands on it.

The Great Reset is not a button in the hand of Klaus Schwab, but a lever that elites have pulled for 122 years.

An early manifestation of the concept is found in the 1901 non-fiction book 'Anticipations' by science fiction writer H.G. Wells. In his boom, Wells said society was historically and properly split between the “superior class” and the “working cultivator, peasant, serf or slave.”

That changed with the Industrial Revolution and “the appearance of great masses of population” who enabled “an entire disintegration of that system.”

“[W]ithout a total destruction and rebirth of that fabric, there can never be any return,” he warned.

Wells called the common people usurping power a “bulky, irremovable excretion of vicious, helpless and pauper masses … drifting down towards the abyss.” He deemed them “inferior in their claim upon the future … [which] cannot be given opportunities or trusted with power…. To give them equality is to sink to their level, to protect and cherish them is to be swamped in their fecundity.”

Anticipations said the “increase in population” fueled by better living standards was “the greatest evil in life.” Therefore, the “ascendant or dominant nation” would be one “that most resolutely picks over, educates, sterilizes, exports or poisons its people of the abyss.”

He called for a “new republic” that “can prevent the birth of just the in-adaptable, useless or merely unnecessary creatures in each generation.”

Wells predicted governments would “hold life to be a privilege,” guiding it with eugenics and imposing death “with little pity and less benevolence.” Instead, “[T]hose swarms of black, and brown, and dirty-white, and yellow people, who do not come into the new needs of efficiency … will have to go.”

Book publishing would be restricted to “intelligently critical men … of the new republic… developing the morality and education system of the future.”

Open markets, denigrated as “the region of the scramble,” could not last either. A true competitive environment threatened the elites’ economic hegemony, just as a real democracy threatened their political power.

“The emergent new republic will be attacking that mass of irresponsible property that is so unavoidable and so threatening under present conditions … [with a] scheme of death duties and heavy graduated taxes upon irresponsible incomes,” Wells predicted.

While the “competent” elite could protect their wealth in foundations and leverage it to transform the world, taxes would “expropriate and extinguish incompetent rich families” — the wealthy who didn’t share Wells’ vision. “[W]hether violently as a revolution or quietly and slowly, this gray confusion that is democracy must pass away inevitably… into the higher stage — the world-state of the coming years,” Wells said.

Through “elements of technical treason,” elites and leading officials in governments would form “a new republic as a sort of outspoken secret society” of “a confluent system of trust-owned business organisms… universities and reorganized military and naval services” that mimicked a state.

Did politicians distance themselves from this radical? Sadly, no.

After 'Anticipations' was published, Wells had a public audience with U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt who Wells later called, “the creative will in man” he admired. Before 'Anticipations,' Wells named Woodrow Wilson among the “intelligently critical men of the new republic.” His 1913-1920 presidency fulfilled Wells’ vision as the Federal Reserve Bank, graduated income taxes, and estate (death) taxes were introduced. An academic advisory group Wilson formed in 1917 later reconstituted itself as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR.)

In the 1920s, Wells had an affair with Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood who later advanced the birth control pill. Wells called her “the greatest woman in the world” and predicted “the movement she started will grow to be, a hundred years from now, the most influential of all time in controlling man’s destiny on earth.”

Wells met three times with President Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s. He called Roosevelt “continually revolutionary” and “the most effective transmitting instrument possible for the coming of the new world order.”

Although Wells died in 1946, his ideology did not.

In 1991, the late David Rockefeller said, “The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto determination practiced in past centuries.”

Until his passing in 2017, Rockefeller was part of the enormously influential CFR, Bilderberg Group, and the Trilateral Commission, which he founded in 1973. In a 2003 interview, he said he knew more heads of state than anyone, except possibly Henry Kissinger.

Kissinger eulogized his “friend” Rockefeller in the Washington Post. The former U.S. Secretary of State has been a CFR member since 1956 and was a mentor to his Harvard University pupil Klaus Schwab. Schwab founded the European Management Forum in 1971, and rebranded it as the World Economic Forum in 1987. From the beginning, Schwab’s organization gathered hundreds of executives annually in Davos, Switzerland to shape the direction of corporate influence. He founded a mentorship program in 1993 called the Global Leaders of Tomorrow, rebranded as the Young Global Leaders in 2004.

An excusive and influential list of political and economic leaders have been mentored by the WEF or participated in its events, including Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, who sits on its board of directors. A comment by Schwab at Harvard University on Sept. 20, 2017 was telling.

“We penetrate the cabinets. So yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will know that half of this cabinet or even more … are from our Young Global Leaders.”

In 2020, Schwab proposed a “’Great Reset’ of capitalism” that would “revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions.”

Citizens worldwide should be wary. It's not a new idea...

Rule by the elites would be for the elites and leave government by the people for the people an expired 250-year experiment.

Medical Disposables Market to be worth US$ 326 Billion by 2033, Reveals Future Market Insights

The Medical Disposables Market revenues were estimated at US$ 153.5 Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2023-2033, according to a recently published Future Market Insights report. By the end of 2033, the market is expected to reach US$ 326 Billion. Bandages and Wound Dressings commanded the largest revenue share in 2022 and is expected to register a CAGR of 6.8% from 2023 to 2033.

The rising incidence of Hospital Acquired Infections, an increasing number of surgical procedures, and the growing prevalence of chronic diseases leading to longer hospital admission have been the key factors driving the market.

The subsequent spike in the number of chronic illness cases and a rise in the rate of hospitalizations has fueled the field of emergency medical disposables growth. The expansion of the medical disposables market is being fueled by an increase in the prevalence of hospital-acquired illnesses and disorders, as well as a greater focus on infection prevention.

Exploring the Price Variability of Vacuum Suction Machines

Technical specifications profoundly influence the price of vacuum suction machines. These specifications can vary widely, addressing different needs that dictate the machine's complexity and functionality.

For instance, a high-end vacuum suction machine designed for medical applications, such as those used in surgeries, will feature precise controls, sterilisable components, and safety mechanisms that ensure no contamination.

These sophisticated machines can cost significantly more than lower-end models used for non-critical tasks, such as cleaning or simple fluid extraction in an industrial setting.

The disparity in pricing can be illustrated by comparing two models: one designed for high-volume, medical-grade suction and another for basic workshop dust collection. The former might incorporate advanced filtration systems, durable materials resistant to harsh sterilants, and compliance with stringent medical standards, all driving up the cost.

In contrast, a basic model might use simpler, less expensive materials and technology, resulting in a much lower price.

Brand Influence on Pricing

Brand reputation and market share also play pivotal roles in the pricing of vacuum suction machines, such as the varying Prices of Vacuum Suction Machines in India. Well-established brands known for quality and reliability often price their equipment higher.

This premium is due to the brand's perceived value, built through consistent customer satisfaction and often supported by extensive warranties and superior customer service. For example, machines from a company with a long-standing reputation in the healthcare sector might carry a premium over a lesser-known manufacturer's products, even if the technical specs are similar.

On the other hand, generic brands or new market entrants typically compete on price to gain a foothold in the market. These brands might offer vacuum suction machines at significantly lower prices to attract budget-conscious buyers. However, the lower price points might reflect material quality, technology, or after-sales support compromises.

Geographical Factors

The pricing of vacuum suction machines is also subject to geographical factors. Import duties, shipping costs, and local manufacturing conditions can all affect how much a machine costs in a particular market.

For example, a vacuum suction machine manufactured in a country with lower labour costs might be less expensive than one produced in a country with high manufacturing expenses.

However, if the cheaper machine needs to be imported into a market with high tariffs on imported machinery, the final cost to the buyer could be comparable to or even exceed that of machines produced locally or in countries with trade agreements favouring lower duties.

Moreover, the cost of materials and components can vary by region, affecting the overall production costs of these machines. Additionally, exchange rates can significantly impact the pricing of imported machines, making them more or less expensive depending on currency fluctuations.

Conclusion

The variability in vacuum suction machine prices can be attributed to several interlinked factors, including technical specifications, brand reputation, and geographical influences.

When deciding what's worth paying extra for, buyers should consider the machine's intended use, the importance of reliability and service support, and the total cost of ownership over the machine's lifespan. Understanding these elements will enable buyers to make informed decisions, ensuring they invest in equipment that offers the best value for their needs.
