These really funny reddit threads were posted in the fat girlcow thread. It's pooners explaining why so many of them need mobility aids. It's really funny with how much confidence they spew absolute nonsense. Do that many people really believe there to be a link between autism and eds?
Can you go more into the comment about believing there is a link between autism and EDS? Recent studies showed a significant overlap in having children diagnosed with autism rates amongst diagnosed eds mothers (like 20 percent). It’s actually pretty interesting to me considering many other types of genetic variations that cause physical and emotional atypical presentations also feature hypotonia and joint laxity.
Probably nothing, maybe fish oil or glucosamine supplements (but you'd be taking your own from home because Pharmacy doesn't do nutraceuticals).
There are a few junior/high schools around me and, while I'm not one to stare at teenagers, there are a lot of vaguely alt-looking teenage girls using canes these days. Sometimes as many as 1/10, although I'm observing groups of them walk to the bus stop so it's probably sorted by friend groups.
That definitely sounds like a pocket of social contagion. Would be interesting to study that.
They reported an allergy, we documented it, no allergy normal white band, any allergy whatsoever, red wrist band. What allergy the reported is irrelevant, healthcare is algorithmic to ensure a consistent standard of care, + coz I don't wanna get riskmanned I'm gonna follow policy exactly even if it is retarded. In terms of medication administration, a shellfish allergy is meaningless, I’m not yet aware of any medication with a precaution for if a patient is allergic to shellfish.
If you want to be open about your skelly past, you should post on reddit.
Would it be relevant to the kitchen staff or is that a different system? I feel like it would make more sense to have a band specifically for medication/medical allergies and let the kitchen deal with the shellfish issue.
Hospitals have to cover their ass from every angle. If the kitchen, the nurses, the doctors, the trolley-pushers etc ALL know you have an allergy, there’s a far lower risk of you accidentally being exposed to the allergen. It’s over-cautious and seems like a waste of time, but the red arm band for every single allergy has potential to save them millions in lawsuits.
This is going to vary by electronic charting system, but something like that is already in place.

Totally agree about there being social contagion issues with both of those and I can understand the hesitancy to believe. Honestly, for any of us former or current medfags and farmers, hopefully some more of these genes get nailed down for some of these things and people can move on to more interesting things to fake. I’m really fucking tired of these zebra bitches who mostly either need better PT and strength training or a psych evaluation, and not for autism. Fucking hell, let’s see some more rage baiters like Emma who fake things like Down Syndrome or deafness. You know what, fuck that, I wanna see someone try to fake progeria or culler Jones. Can you imagine trying to fake polydactyly?
The irony is that Tuberculosis is making a big comeback in the UK thanks to Cultural Enrichment and the dismal state of the NHS. All these waifs can lie on the fainting couch with Consumption like 19th Century poets! I suspect they won't try to fake TB though, partly because it's easy to test for and partly because it's now a disease of the filthy unwashed lower classes. Still, I guess they can pretend to have the Plague of Justinian, nobody's entirely sure what that actually was so they can pretend it's whatever they want.
