We were talking about how the Japanese audience views bkdk as canon and how the culture sees an "I love you" as much less verbal, or literal, and more symbolic and deep. And of course how bkdk has "the rest of our lives" from bakugou...

But also another one:

"I'm the one who steps in when he can't handle it on his own!"

A love confession if I have ever heard one.

Another thought on my brain while I am here, that post adds new context for me to the "rest of our lives" part and how the Bakugou parents, who were chasing their boy down and then apologized for the interruption, have retreated and are standing well outside in the hallway, heads down, respectfully letting their son confess those feelings and have that moment with Izuku.

They heard Katsuki saying that and decided, "oh. Oh, we should go."

So my new medication and in fact all medications that can halt the symptoms of an attack of this condition are not subsidised in Australia by the PBS. Most have actually been discontinued in the Australian market due to low sales (my condition is rare so... yeah).

If I had a similar (but medically distinct and considerably less debilitating) condition these two injector pens would have cost me $14.99 thanks to the PBS. That's because these drugs are approved for this similar condition and not the one I actually have (which, as I noted above, has basically sweet FA drugs approved here let alone subsidised).

Outrageous medication prices are nothing new to my followers from the USA, where things are a hell of a lot worse than this but regardless of our locations, medication costs like this are fucking criminal.

Two injectors stops... two attacks. You can have 8+ attacks a day. 🙃

Chronic illness, huh?

I guess it's time to become a streamer or sell feet pics or something.

so doug ford wants privatization of public hospitals now and is giving private hospitals special privileges to perform more types of surgeries and its going to majorly screw over every single canadian relying on public healthcare but also the decline to far right idiocracy in this country is happening at the speed of light, literally nobody remembers how the Conservatives bought out every public newspaper and media outlet when the piece of vile shit doug got voted in like Canada has always been the usa with rose tinted glasses and extra propaganda about how its Such A Nice Country

Hospitals owned by private equity firms riskier for patients, study says

"(CNN) - Health care is more hazardous for patients at hospitals purchased by private equity firms, financing models designed to make money for investors.

That conclusion comes from a new study published Tuesday in the journal Jama.

The study looked at the rates of 10 serious adverse events associated with medical care at 51 hospitals, before and after they were purchased by private equity firms.

Researchers then compared those results with the rates of the same complications at more than 250 hospitals that were not owned by those entities.

The study revealed that, in those private equity firm-purchased hospitals, there was a 25% increase in patient complications.

The rates of patient falls inside the facility, central line infections and surgical site infections all increased.

The study author said treating fewer patients eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid benefits is one trend the research found.

Previous research has shown cuts to staffing and replacing more highly paid workers with those paid less Is often tied to private equity firm acquisitions.

Those firms have been acquiring large chunks of the U.S. health care delivery system in recent years, including hospitals, nursing homes, behavioral health systems and private physician practices.

Earlier this month, the Senate Budget Committee announced its bipartisan investigation of the impact of private equity purchases on health care facilities.

It actually is so insane to me how many doctors do not fight for their patients/advocate for them because what do you mean I have faxed you 8 times now to get your patient a PA for a medication they really desperately need and you can’t take the time to do a little extra paperwork so they don’t have to pay 1.3k real life human dollars out of pocket. Brother are you actually satan himself because if so please walk yourself straight to hell
