My favorite part of the article about why we should keep using antidepressants:
"Many commonly used medicines were used for decades before we understood their mechanisms of action: from aspirin to morphine to penicillin. Knowing they worked provided the impetus for establishing how they worked; and this knowledge generated new treatments."
Given that studies show that anti-depressants don't really work better than placebo, not as compelling argument as this statement would be for, IDK, Ivermectin?
Clown world. Links below.
The last time I was in the hospital with a family member I made an off the cuff reference to the surgeon that the staff wasn't too happy with me for asking why they were not giving pain meds. To his credit the doctor said, "Don't apologize. You have to advocate for your family members because if you don't, really bad things can happen. Educate yourself and advocate. You should have seen what was going on during COVID when family members weren't around to do just that." I was stunned tbh. But loved the guy obviously.
Wow. God bless him.
It’s almost like they intentionally prohibited family advocacy w fauxvid restrictions in hospitals. Godless commies
How I did not think of that scares me a little. Good point.
