Unfortunately it's because people have asked him even stupider questions about even more serious problems, and been serious about it.
I witnessed a woman be told by the ER doc, she had a bleed deep inside her brain and was going to be urgently medflighted to another hospital with a neurosurgical team, and she was dead seriously like,
"Can't we please wait for my husband to arrive here first? He's only forty minutes away, if he has to drive all the way to Boston it'll take twice that, you know how traffic is. What's the big hurry, anyway? I feel fine, and I mean, bleeding inside your brain, that's so silly. It doesn't sound serious. Like, nobody's ever died from that, right?"
'thats probably fine' is my favourite thing to say after seeing something that is incredibly obviously not fine. it is very played out and i will never ever stop doing it
#the doctor just said 'it's definitely not good.' and then left ME the PHLEBOTOMIST to get questioned#hospital tag

One of my biggest nitpicks in fiction concerns the feeding of babies. Mothers dying during/shortly after childbirth or the baby being separated form the mother shortly after birth is pretty common in fiction. It is/was also common enough in real life, which is why I think a lot of writers/readers don't think too hard about this. however. Historically, the only reason the vast majority of babies survived being separated from their mother was because there was at least one other woman around to breastfeed them. Before modern formula, yes, people did use other substitutes, but they were rarely, if ever, nutritionally sufficient.
Newborns can't eat adult food. They can't really survive on animal milk. If your story takes place in a world before/without formula, a baby separated from its mother is going to either be nursed by someone else, or starve.
It doesn't have to be a huge plot point, but idk at least don't explicitly describe the situation as excluding the possibility of a wetnurse. "The father or the great grandmother or the neighbor man or the older sibling took and raised the baby completely alone in a cave for a year." Nope. That baby is dead I'm sorry. "The baby was kidnapped shortly after birth by a wizard and hidden away in a secret tower" um quick question was the wizard lactating? "The mother refused to see or touch her child after birth so the baby was left to the care of the ailing grandfather" the grandfather who made the necessary arrangements with women in the neighborhood, right? right? OR THAT GREAT OFFENDER "A newborn baby was left on the doorstep and they brought it in and took care of it no issues" What Are You Going to Feed That Baby. Hello?
Like. It's not impossible, but arrangements are going to have to be made. There are some logistics.
#idk what to tag this#worldbuilding#writing fiction#historical fiction#fantasy#a real-life example: my dad (a pediatrician) was once entrusted with the care of a baby who was born with a rare condition#this was in a place without great hospital/medical access and anyway they were going to fly the baby over#and he specifically asked them to bring the mother and baby#they show up with baby and...the baby's uncle#and he was like. y'all. do you think I asked for the mom to come just for fun??? We don't have formula here. what is the baby going to eat?

This couple at the hospital behind me were really invested in the episode of Deal or No Deal playing in the waiting room. When the husband got back from his appointment, he was like "oh I wanted to see if she won or not," and his wife went "she settled for 34,000 dollars" as they were leaving.

Still not over the head of cardiology, who said she wouldn't formally diagnose me with dysautonomia because she didn't want me to think of myself as disabled.
As if good vibes and a can-do attitude can stabalize autonomic dysfunction.
#chronic health tag#ableism in our medical system???#it's more likely than you think#I still remember having to inform the ER doctor that the reason MCAS wasn't in my file#was because the head of allergy for the hospital he worked at#'didn't believe in it'#this was one week into the pandemic#and this man touched his face out of exasperation#and muttered something that might have been 'dense mother fucker' under his breathe#anyway#there should be a screening process for people who want to go into medicine#if you think the only disability is a bad attitude#you should be jettisoned from your course and directly into the sun

I understand that a lot of people in the notes are reblogging this with good intentions, so I'm going to take a moment to clarify.
First off, please think critically before you just reblog things like this, and look for red flags.
This is a pro-life, anti-choice post, made by a Catholic who is deliberately conflating abortion with murder. Prenatal testing for Trisomy 21 (which is called Down Syndrome, not Down's Syndrome, btw) is not used to "kill children," because a fetus is not a child, and at the time these tests are performed, won't be a child for a LONG time.
Eugenics abortion is real. Eugenics is a real threat to people with Down Syndrome. If someone learns the fetus they're carrying has a high chance of having DS (high in this case often being something like 1 in 50), it is possible that medical professionals could specifically encourage or assume that they should terminate the pregnancy, or express surprise or disapproval if they choose to try and carry to term. This is horrible, ableist, and inappropriate, and I would encourage anyone who encounters this attitude to find a new medical care team immediately.
However, this is because the right to choose swings both ways. If someone wants to try and continue their pregnancy, that is something they should be able to pursue without judgment and with support from their medical team, friends, and family. The same thing is true if they choose to terminate their pregnancy. This is true regardless of whether their fetus is at high risk for DS or any other condition, or if it isn't. The body of a pregnant person is their own body. It does not belong to anyone else, and no one else should get to make this kind of decision about it.
Sure, in an ideal world, this kind of testing (there are multiple different ways to test for Trisomy 21 during pregnancy) would be used for happy future parents to have some extra time to learn about Down Syndrome, and to arrange to give birth at a hospital that would be well-equipped for the potentially dangerous birth defects that can concur.
It would also prepare them with the knowledge that they are at significantly increased risk of losing the pregnancy. Only around 1 in 5 fetuses with Down Syndrome make it to and through delivery because of developmental problems during the pregnancy. Most of these losses take place after the timeframe where prenatal testing can begin, and even after the 12week mark when a pregnancy is usually considered to be relatively "safe" from miscarriage.
According to this study, which looks at data collected about different forms of prenatal testing, around 43% of all DS fetuses don't make it to term following CV sampling, a test typically done at 10-12weeks. 23% don't make it to term following amniocentesis, which typically is done between 15-20weeks. 12% that make it to delivery are stillborn or die as neonates. This study found that 32% of DS pregnancies are lost between CVS and amniocentesis alone, and 54% are lost between amniocentesis and term. (Both of these tests have a small risk to the fetus in performing them, but that wouldn't account for more than 1-2% of losses following the test.)
I'll confess; before learning about these things, I had a kind of personal disgust for people who want a baby, but terminate a pregnancy when they find out the fetus has DS. After all, any baby or child could be disabled, due to conditions not tested for like autism, or because of illness and accidents well after birth. In my opinion, if you aren't ready (or willing to get ready) to parent a disabled child, you aren't really ready to be a parent at all. HOWEVER even then I still knew that any kind of restrictions around abortion would due more harm than good, both to disabled people and to pregnant people in general.
Now, though. I want anyone reading this to consider for a moment, the experience of an abortion, at a facility where you know what to expect. The staff there are kind and supportive, and take care of you, talking you through every step. There will be some bleeding, probably some pain, which you will be given hot packs and medication to help with. Depending on the stage of the pregnancy, the fetus may have been the size of a golf ball or the size of a bell pepper. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, or if you have a condition like a bleeding disorder that could make things dangerous, there are professionals there supervising you carefully to protect you.
Compare this to a spontaneous miscarriage. Working in an ER I've seen people who miscarried and the bleeding began when they were doing things like grocery shopping. Or on a crowded train, or working as a kindergarten teacher, or swimming in a public pool with her 5yo. They come in to the ER embarrassed, panicked, not knowing what's happening, terrified for their life, terrified for their pregnancy, in pain, but sometimes still need to wait many hours to be seen because of how overrun we are. I've seen a few rooms, in the ER or upstairs at the birth center, absolutely covered in blood. Someone with a bleeding disorder, who is pregnant, typically has a lot of thought and planning that goes into making sure the birth is as safe as possible, and there's a huge stockpile of compatible blood and platelets ready. That doesn't happen in a sudden miscarriage, especially after 20weeks but well before birth, and people very much do die from these hemorrhages. One image that sticks with me is a pair of crocs that the patient had been wearing, they had blood flowing out of the holes on the sides, a puddle spreading out around them... the patient's blood type was unknown, and we ran out of type O blood in the whole hospital, both O- and O+. I'm not even going to talk about stillbirth or losing a neonatal infant, it's not something I've personally seen and I don't think I need to explain the medical and emotional differences between losing a fetus the size of a golf ball or a pepper, vs carrying to term, giving birth to, and losing a fully developed baby.
If someone finds out their fetus has DS, or is at high risk of it, and considers terminating or does terminate the pregnancy, I'm not going to judge them for it. If they, or anyone else, goes around talking about how everybody with DS (or something else) should have been aborted, I'll kick their fucking teeth in. Stepping away from myself again, there are a lot of ways to protect people with Down Syndrome, on a governmental level, without restricting access to abortion. I'm in the USA so I'm going to focus on things that we don't have, but these being necessary is true everywhere:
Provide high-quality, free healthcare for everyone. People with DS have higher incidences of potentially life-threatening medical problems, especially heart disease. And providing good, free prenatal care for anyone who is expecting, will reduce the number of miscarriages.
Ensure legal protections against ableism. The ADA is a really great piece of legislation that more countries should have equivalents of, but it's still not enough. In the USA it's legal to pay disabled people less than minimum wage, and it's legal for us to be forcibly sterilized against our will (which is just as much an infringement on our reproductive rights, as restricting access to abortion is).
Guarantee adequate, good benefits for people who are unable to work and/or live independently, and make them accessible. This includes quality housing, food, money, assistance, transportation, etc.
Fund good, comprehensive public special education that is as tailored as possible to individual disabled students (rather than lumping a bunch of kids with totally different disabilities in one room and yelling at them for doing things "wrong.")
There are more than this but I'm running out of steam, this is already a ridiculously long response. Thanks to anyone who read the whole thing, I hope it was helpful in understanding this issue.
Every so often (ever since I read that book about Catholic scientists) I think about the guy who discovered the cause of Down's Syndrome and get very sad.
Jérôme Lejeune did his research because he loved children with Down's Syndrome! He wanted to help them! Discovering the genetic cause was a huge breakthrough, and helping to develop the prenatal test was intended to give parents a chance to prepare for caring for a child with Down's Syndrome.
And then his test was used to kill children with Down's Syndrome.
He got the highest honor in genetics because of it, and he used his acceptance speech to tell the world's assembled scientists that their use of his test was evil. Which made everyone mad and destroyed his chances of winning a Nobel. But he stood for life. He stood for the disabled. He stood for the children. Even at the cost of his career. Because his work intended to save the children he loved was being used to destroy them and how do you deal with that? It just breaks my heart every time I think about it.

My piece for the first Danny Phantom event I've ever taken part in, @ecto-implosion ! I felt like our boy Tucker could use some more love, so I drew him in a place he hates. As you do.
Here are some close-ups, because I spent way too long on the details:
The event was an absolute blast, in no small part thanks to @carelisswriting who was a joy to work with and who wrote the most AMAZING fic based on my art! Seriously, please go read it, it's adorable and wonderful and I can't stop smiling and I need everyone to see it.
Late Night Hangout on Ao3

SO YOU WANT TO GET HIRED IS NOW LIVE ON ITCHIO! :D
This thirty-page guide is specifically written to help you navigate the world of working-class jobs. In it, I break down what to put in your resume (even if you have no experience at all!), how to dress for the interview, how to play the very confusing and nonsensical world of the working-class interview, and what happens after you drag yourself out of the crucible of the interview on your hands and knees.
It's helpful! It's for those of us who want to know how to get hired for something as menial as a food runner! It's not that long, so you don't need to carve out several hours to in-depth research! It's got jokes — and Brian David Gilbert references!
Please reblog to help reach as many people as possible, because sometimes we all need a little help adulting, and I'm here to share what I know with you, no judgment.
(If you want to make sure I am not forced to be victim to website fees, you can always just send me $3 on Ca$h@pp/V3nm0 (deadtower) or P@yp@l (paypal.me/deadtower) and email me at [email protected] with your username/when you sent the money, and I can send you the PDF that way! Also, if you can't afford it, no worries! Just shoot me an email and I'll send it to you discounted to as low as $1, or for free, depending on your financial situation. I want everyone to have access to the resources they deserve. <3)
#writeblr#jobs#hiring#resources#hospitality#idk what tags to put lol these are my best guesses#but really and truly please reblog this if you can! it's the ONLY way it's gonna make it around#it's very cheap it's $3 or less if you can't afford the $3#and that was after asking a bunch of people what to price it at#oughhhh please. i come to you asking politely. i need this to be spread around#you never know who on your timeline is desperate for a guide like this#and i'm not gonna lie knowing tumblr's demographic it's a LOT of people

Sailor the Teddy Bear
Sailor the teddy bear's person wrote a month or so ago. Sailor himself was in pretty good shape, except for some small eye issues, but his clothes had worn to the point that she wanted them replaced, and she figured he should enjoy a spa while he was in California as well.
Here isSailor's diagnosis photo:
Now the eye issue which isn't quite clear, is his eyes were a bit off kilter. When he came to the hospital and was getting prepped for his spa, I found the reason -- the post of his right eye (left in the photo) was broken off inside and his eye had been glued into place. Fortunately, as you'll see, we were able to restore his vision to 20/20.
Also, in addition to a new outfit for Sailor, his person was hoping for one of those sailor cape/collars to go over his shoulders, matching the color of his pants and hat. He was to keep his original hat, but the trim at the back needed a bit of repair.
Here's Sailor in his bubble bath:
And here's his heart being made and installed with a bit of his original stuffing:
And finally, here's Sailor all better and ready to fly home! A few things to note about his new clothes --- the shirt and pants are one piece, just like the original. They close with a snap at the top, but have a decorative button where the snap is, that matches the small striped area on the front of his shirt. His new collar/cape is removable as well. You can also see the chubbiness testing photo, where I'm poking his belly (I don't show this usually). This is where his person had the chance to add feedback to adjust his stuffing if needed.
Sailor's person approved and he flew home to Michigan. BTW, he flew both ways with an airtag in his box, so his person knew exactly where he was at all times. The funniest thing with airtag patients is the air tag makes a jingly sound when it moves, so every time I move an air tag patient's bed, I have to remind myself that they don't have internal bells, that's their tracker. :-)
Anyway, Sailor made it home safe and sound and his person wrote:
"He's perfect omg ; ; I can't thank you enough"
