It’s now a tsunami of racist, sex-pesting horror from Reform. Nonsense about “unfair targeting”, “disgruntled former employees”, “being provoked”, “vetting issues”, “banter” and being “on medication”… just make it worse. Bye bye Farage. It’s been shit knowing you. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/483...
The author wrote that patients often forgot medications, surgeries and other details of their medical history, and suggested using a structured, AI-assisted questionnaire before appointments to reduce time spent reviewing the past and leave more time for care.

I was wrong about Lindsay Clancy. Here's why I changed my mind. She was never diagnosed with postpartum depression or psychosis. She was not on 13 medications at once. She was not "hearing voices." She was not abandoned by her family. She was diagnosed with a mood disorder - never psychosis - and went to a variety of doctors who all prescribed different medications, which she took unreliably and not simultaneously. She only heard a voice one time - and that was right before she killed her kids. Extremely atypical for psychosis. She carefully planned her children's murders down to the minute. She researched the distance of a restaurant she'd ask Patrick to go to. Added on a last-minute errand before he left. Calmly answered his phone call in the middle of her crime. Brought her children down to the basement one by one, overpowering their resistance and killing them slowly. It does seem like she had support from her family. She may have still been overwhelmed, but it's not true that all of her cries for help went unanswered. I originally placed too much blame on the many SSRIs she was prescribed. Is it still possible these SSRIs had a negative effect? Absolutely. But the case that these drove her into a psychotic episode is weak. “According to U.S. HHS Child Maltreatment data, mothers account for roughly 70% of child maltreatment fatalities involving a single parent, compared with roughly 30% involving a father, when parent-plus-nonparent cases are included and cases involving both parents are excluded. And interestingly, the “70% mothers / 30% fathers” finding is remarkably persistent across the years, rather than being a phenomenon confined to one particular period” - ChatGPT Feminist Taxonomies of Lindsey Clancy If I am to be born as a woman, life should not be continued If I am to mature as a woman, I should not marry If I am to have sex as a woman, I should not be made pregnant If I am to be made pregnant as a woman, I should not give birth to my child If I am to give birth to my child as a woman, my child should not live
I’ve taken a deep dive into the theft of medical data. Forget about fraudulent loans - that’s not the biggest problem. The real problem? Someone may now know your diagnoses - including psychiatric ones - and the medications you take. You can change a password. You can’t change https://t.co/j6tZmVnBUo #MedicalDataTheft #PrivacyConcerns #DataSecurity #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.
The Friedreich’s Ataxia decision needs to be revisited. These people are desperately seeking funding for life saving medication. The government are wasting hundreds of millions of euro and yet they can't find the money for these Irish citizens. https://t.co/V7zrSQwXKz #FriedreichsAtaxia #FundingForHealth #IrishCitizens #IE
Health Minister Korinna Schumann (SPÖ) has addressed the rising costs of medication, highlighting planned measures such as increased use of generics and centralized procurement, while calling on the pharmaceutical industry to provide fair and sustainable prices, amidst criticism from the FPÖ who view the debate as misdirected and lacking focus on the real issues within Austria's healthcare system, where supply shortages for around 1,220 medications persist. #Medikamentenpreise #Gesundheitsversorgung #Generika

Der gesamte Post von @CKoellmannZH ist ein Zitat von der Mutter der von der Hamas ermordeten Carolin Bohl und ist in Anführungs- und Schlusszeichen gesetzt. Keine eigene Bemerkung, sondern nur ein Zitat. Dieses Zitat wurde von der de facto Pressesprecherin der Hamas Francesca Albanese mit "Change medication" kommentiert. Nachdem es einen Shitstorm gegen die Linksislamistin gab, rudert sie zurück und schreibt eine Schutzbehauptung: Ihr Kommentar habe sich ausschliesslich Dr. Koellmann gerichtet. Ich lasse das unkommentiert, weil sich jeder Kommentar erübrigt... #Hamas #Zitat #Politik

Retatrutide is an investigational once-weekly injectable medication that targets three metabolic receptors—GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon—to suppress appetite, optimize insulin secretion, and increase energy expenditure. Clinical trials show it drives substantial weight loss. That’s #Retatrutide #WeightLoss #DiabetesManagement #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
GLP-1 weight loss injections have emerged as a groundbreaking solution to the obesity crisis, with around 100 million users globally, as clinical trials and patient testimonials reveal significant weight loss results, although access issues and the high costs of these medications raise concerns about equitable treatment options in the UK. #WeightLoss #ObesityTreatment #HealthInnovation #GB #US #DK

A comprehensive analysis of data from over 25 million pregnancies indicates that the use of antidepressants during pregnancy does not increase the risk of developmental disorders like autism or ADHD in children, challenging claims made by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F.
