i wonder if medicine is more advanced with the dwarves in orzammar since they cant rely on magic to heal people and also like, they live under the ground so stuff like elfroot and other medicinal herbs are probably harder to come by? (i know that one guy with the imports shop sells elfroot but its still imported they cant source it on their own)

i'm just so tired. tired of keeping up with every new thing that ai can do. every new technological change happening. every new crisis the planet is facing as a result of 'innovation'. every time i have to re-learn the dynamics, rules and workings of the modern world and society. it's all too much and happening too fast. let's all just calm down.

"if you live in any of the nine states that automatically toss out a pregnant person’s advance directive:

Alabama

Indiana

Kansas

Michigan

Missouri

South Carolina

Texas

Utah

Wisconsin

But that’s not the complete story. A 2019 study published in JAMA examined the way all states navigated pregnancy and advance directives and found that 39 states “identified pregnancy as a condition that influences either an incapacitated [patient’s] advance directive or surrogate decision making.”

They also noted some of the nuances that vary between states: which states test for pregnancy before they allow someone to be taken off life support (Alaska, Georgia and Oklahoma); the five states (Kentucky, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota) that “specified that life-sustaining therapies may be discontinued if they cause the woman undue pain that cannot be alleviated by medication” and the lone state (Pennsylvania) that offers to take on the financial burden of keeping a pregnant person on life support in these situations.

Yet, among these states, the actual laws are hardly public knowledge — only eight of the states’ advance directive documents seek someone’s “pregnancy-specific care preferences.” Of the 31 states that had restrictions on taking pregnant people off life support, 29 of these states have restrictions in their state statutes. However, 69% of the advance directive forms from these states made no mention of them."

...

Ultimately, it comes back to a prevailing narrative that reproductive health care experts and advocates have been urging more Americans to consider: These sort of restrictive laws, pieced together by people with little knowledge of medicine or pregnant bodies cannot fairly legislate around the unique medical needs of pregnant people and the health care providers who care for them."

as much as I love osteoarchaeology, I’m not sure I could do it. I’d just be standing there looking at a badly healed break on a femur from the Paleolithic era thinking “ow. owwwww. yeowch. ouchie.”

[kremy-lecroux]

wow!!! that’s a lotta responsibility! but I mean, what’s one more baby, hm? (im looking at YOU, Torbek & Gricko)

what do you know about raising lizardfolk young? wonder how different it is from….uh, genasi?

No more than the average lizardfolk, I have to assume. It's not like I flip through childcare books as a hobby in my spare time...

I know the biggest difference is that baby lizardfolk can eat food pretty much immediately after hatchin'. It doesn't take very long at all for our teeth to grow in, an' our mothers don't produce milk, so we sorta just immediately skip to baby food. A lot of lizardfolk prefer feedin' their children specifically bugmix--a nutritious concoction of mostly bugs that has a good texture to it, helps sharpen our teeth an' get us adjusted to tougher materials. I could probably make some myself to be honest, but... we don't know what the baby eats yet.

If I had to guess, Gid probably knows next to jack shit about raisin' genasi children. He was raised by humans, after all. I don't know much about human kids myself, but I do know they need their mothers' milk for a good while after birth... Good baron, where are we gonna find formula all the way out here...?

medical progress: a sketch

today my dentist told me i desperately need a mouthguard, because my teeth are covered in, and here i quote, "cracks and potholes"

ever had a mouthguard made? they put some gummy stuff in your mouth, you bite down, and voila: the future mold

but today, i sat in a dentists chair for twenty minutes, while a technician rotated a dildo-sized camera nozzle in my mouth.

like a dildo, it was on a mission to see the backs of my molars

unlike a dildo, it had sharp angles.

after fifteen minutes of pinching back my cheeks and trying to shove it between my muscles and gum line, the tech made a small concession to macrophysics, wherein two objects cannot occupy the same space, and took off the camera's protective casing

the camera became smaller, but sharper

another five minutes of rough oral sodomy, and we had a 3D image of my teeth

"what happened to the soft material you bite down on?" i asked as i rinsed the blood out of my mouth

"oh, we don't do that anymore," said the tech. "some people react badly to having something in their mouths and gag."

About medicine in witchcraft: Health spells, Professional Healers and Unprofessional scammers (And two healing spells from me)

Lately I have been seeing a dangerous amount of medical dangerous videos in our usual witchy spaces (specially in Instagram, since I refuse to use TikTok) and that bring me here in one of my long rants who nobody really cares. But, as a healer with lot of medical background, I have to.

First, for the love of your deity, don’t take these damn vids seriously. I’m not a doctor but I know enough that a huge ton of what they put there is medical misinformation dressed as mystical powers.

I’m not asking you to become a doctor, but at least remember: Physical symptoms are NEVER caused by one single illness, and you HAVE to rule out all the possible physical illness before even consider it a symptom of your superpowers.

Yes, some minor things like a random ear ringing or a random tingle on your hand doesn’t need you to run to ER, but at least THINK about mundane causes to it.

Your ear ring? Are you using headphones a lot? Loud music? You shower and water entered on your ear? You are taking meds? Stress? Your neck is stiff and affecting your inner ear? You are neurodivergent?

Your hand tingle? Is the same hand in what you use your phone 20 hours at day? You sleep over that arm? Your shoulder is stiff? You use a mousse a lot? You practice a sport and the nerves are tired? Did you drink coffee or Red Bulls?

And I’m not even mention REAL illnesses, this is just a bunch of mundane causes! So how you dare to believe in more deeper topics of spiritual stuffs, if you have zero critical thinking in something so mundane and basic as your own body? How you plan to be an efficient witch if you don’t even doubt about these things? How you even dare to talk about your deity if you believe anything as a sign?  

An advanced witch bases their path in three big needs:

Need of study (Books or google, spend months or YEARS reading and learning)

Need of critical thinking (Think, think and ask, be curious and compare data, question it)

Need of wise skepticism (Don’t fall into the “The government want me to believe this but I’m smarter” or “Vaccines do harm, people don’t need calcium, there is brick’s dust on ketchup” kind of mindset (Yes, these are things I heard). That’s not skepticism, that’s being a Facebook Boomer Mom. Skepticism is question everything and to always be suspicious, but is neither “don’t believe in anything because I’m so smart that I can see the lies”.

And healers, my beloved healers. As one, I have to say it on the most real way: LEARN SOME MEDICINE. Specially before to do public claiming that can really hurt others.

Why learn medicine? Because as happened once… A lovely lady did a spell to lose weight. She got gastroenteritis and spent a week on the bathroom. She lost weight? Yes. In a dangerous unhealthy way? Yes. She recovers her weight back after go to the doc? Absolutely.

The body is a fine machine, a ton of process, hormones, parts, that you will always ignore and omit.

Another big mistake: “Spell to Boost my Metabolism”. Do you even know what a metabolism is? What it does? Do you even know that it has three main functions of metabolism? (Conversion of the energy to run cellular processes; conversion to building block of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates; and the elimination of metabolic wastes). When you “boost your metabolism”, what you are aiming to do? You even know what your body need of these three…

“Spell to boost my Immune System”… Again, what part? Do you even know that your immune system is “slow” or it is just working against an illness as it should? (Reaction is not the same than an immunodeficiency) Are you aware that your body can be doing great and you will be pushing to get an overactive immune system? (And getting Asthma, Eczema, Hay fever, Food allergy and any other kind of allergy, Lupus, Type 1 Diabetes, Inflammatory bowel disease, Celiac, etc.).

Please, if you use “detox spell” in any way, just stop. Period.

If you are not willing to spend a couple of weeks at least in the damn Wikipedia, or you are in a rush, at least aim big and general, do a classic “Health/Healing spell”, that is focused on that, bring health where is needed. “My body gets healthier. My body gets health where is needed” It can’t go wrong, since you purposely don’t specify where or which part, you just do a “Somewhere I need it, and since I can’t know it, the Cosmos may know it and aid me”. If you need spells to focus a healing in a body part, maybe you need a doc, not a spell…. (Get a doc. If is so simple to not need a doc, then your body will do it without need a spell anyway)

You can also do the same with Physical Strength Spells (again aiming to boost what you don’t know what it needs to be boosted and avoiding to boost something that it DOESN’T NEED IT).

And if you are a Healer who really want to have a 90% of effectiveness on focalized and specialized healing spells, then time to study. You will need to know about hormones, chemicals, physical process, all the systems, nerves, bones, nutrition, meds… And pretty much being able to discuss with you client (to put in a way) about literally all their medical history.

And a gently offer to anyone who actually read all this shit, I give a couple of “simple” ideas for you all:

Regeneration Spell: Just a Healing spell, aimed to “attack” where is needed, but it focusses in a cellular level. General Healing spells usually are so general that include things like disposal of waste, mineral absorption, water absorption, digestion, hair growing, skin growing, muscle develop, and pretty much EVERYTHING that’s happening on your body right now, even including the gut bacteria. A Regeneration Spell will focus in each single cell of your body, from skin to bone, to neurons, to T Cells from your immune system. All. Something that your body do (except with the neurons) but that get slower with the age. This spell focus on restores damaged or missing cells to full function (you can help it to happen better with a good balanced diet, some basic exercise, proper sleep, and trying to reduce stress)

Big warning. BE SPECIFIC “My cells will get regenerated where my body need it to be healthy and in full function” or something like that. Why SO specific if the healing spells are general? Because Cancer.

Yes. Cancer. A cancerous tumor is failed cell of your own body. Our beloved bodies kill around six infected or cancer cells each DAY. Eventually (if you live enough or if your immune system gets weak) one of them will grow your body be on troubles. If you do a regeneration spell without that proper aim, you will also help to any cancer cell to regenerate, hence you can cause you a HUGE DEAL in a future. Will not happen 100% of the cases, many of these tumors can be not cancerous (benign) yet give you problems.

How do the spell? Just as any healing spell. Do your way.

Homeostasis Spell: What’s is homeostasis? Is the condition of optimal functioning for the organism, a state of steady internal physical and chemical conditions maintained by living systems. Is a stable self-regulated process of equilibrium between interdependent elements. In simple words, is the perfect state of full pure health of your body. Is a healing spell without the “but”.  

What it affects? ALL in the most basic small internal way. Body temperature, fluid balance, the pH of extracellular fluid, the concentrations of ions, blood sugar, oxygen, hormones, etc. If the body do it properly, then is balanced, in an optimal functioning, hence healing itself without big issues.

This spell helps specially (or BOOST) the body on regulate itself despite the many changes in the environment, diet, or level of activity. In this case, you don’t need to be specific, since homeostasis seek for health naturally. Do your regular healing spell but like “My body reach homeostasis”.

So. Rant and all made, I think is time for me to shut up. See you around, and check if you need drink water, sleep, rest, stretch, food, meds or hygiene!

I want to hear about your fave recent scientific discoveries, Ana!!

what do i know abt science though LMAOFIODJF

[nukacourier]

Arcade picking flowers he finds in the desert and giving them to james before they're dating and he tries to brush it off like "oh I learned about these recently because of my research...here's the scientific name and the use of them in medicine" but to anyone else it's very obvious hes just giving the guy hes crushing on flowers because his hands start to shake when he hands him the flowers and his face gets bright red every time he does

[humsbugs]

there’s this thing I keep thinking about when it comes to countryhumans being able to come back to life… is it common for countries to directly ask someone to kill them (be it another country or even a human) so they could recover from an injury immediately instead of taking the months of recovery necessary
