Things That Piss You Off

Again, there is no evidence of any agitation other than his being obviously Jewish. No signs, no Israeli flags, no pro-Israel chants. Just a guy with a yamuka. To threaten to arrest him being Jewish in public because of a bunch of fuctards who support Hamas might do something violent is insanity.

I incorporate nutrition coaching into my private chef business, and lately on LinkedIn I have seen several remote nutrition coaching jobs advertisements, but you have to be a graduate of their program.

Fuck off.

I’m sure it’s happening in other industries, so watch out.

Police is responsible for public safety and the pro-palestinian crowd was clearly aggressive. They wanted him away from there. He did not obey so police warned that’s disobeying.

A prime example how social media influencers too select and twist the information for their own purposes.

Ps. Europe has problem with growing antisemitism, I won’t deny that. I remember when I was in France last time, and how one large synagogue was constantly guarded by armed police. That might partly explain why police was conserned about this mans safety.

Oh yeah. That template has been around for a while. Its like becoming part of a franchise. If I’m understanding it right, its like being Paul Check, Strength Sensei, or A.R.T. certified, qualified, etc.

Its like a cimbination of franchise, mlm, real information, etc.

People like shiny labels.

I do see your point, doogie. I’m just tired of all the endless drama. All the death. Go home and eat some fucking soup so no one gets hurt on my watch just makes sense to me. I can’t see it as antisemitism, because I think the cop agreed with you. He was protecting the Jewish guy, whose motives were…what?

It just pisses me off. If it was a Proud Boy rally, and a Black guy was told he was going to be arrested for being in the area because he was quite obviously Black, that would be just as fucked up. It’s the police’s job to protect HIM. They can reason with him, ask him nicely, tell him that they can’t guarantee they can protect him, but to threaten to arrest him is something completely different to me.

I hear ya. But why should the police - somebody’s son or father, a guy with a fiancĆ© at home or a son who’s just been signed to play college football - why should he risk his life protecting some guy who is either deliberately rabble-rousing or criminally naive?

That’s all I’m saying. Not that it’s right or good, just reasonable.

It feels so scammey. Just make a good product or provide a good service. That’s it.

Yeah. Especially when there is a heirarchy within the label. Like you have to keep buying more training to achieve a level 6 instructor/guru to become a grand poohbah, at which time you transcend mere mortal poohbah.

The quallity of care/consultation/whatever is just fine. The real target is the provider/disciple.

Use the label to make money to buy more levels of training.

Scanning patients who are over 500# and pregnant. My poor little wrist…

You put the sono-goo on with a ladle?

I’ve done a couple stress-echoes. Weird, but not bad!

There is quite a bit of surface area to cover. Actually there isn’t. You go under the belly and see what you can from there. The problem is your hand and wrist being pinned under the weight of mom’s belly.

This is something I’ve just never thought about before, and now that I am thinking about it, am pretty distressed. I suppose if I’d given one moment of thought to ultrasounding an obese woman, I’d have pictured you rolling around on the top, like they have when I’ve had them. Obviously that wouldn’t make sense.

Now I have all sorts of things to wonder. Like, ob/gyn in general. How does that work? (And more importantly, why am I so mortified and self-conscious about myself when I have to go?)

Thanks, Beth!

Are you referring to the morbidly obese here? If you are, it’s difficult. So I guess the thing that I had never really thought about before was how it all effects the female reproductive organs. At its most basic, on the gyn side, fat doesn’t just sit on top of the organs. Think of a fatty liver. That happens to your uterus and cervix. They become infiltrated with fat. Makes them extremely difficult to visualize on the ultrasound side of things (sound waves don’t travel well through fatty tissue, particularly fatty tissue with a lower concentration of water). Plus if you image internally there is the added tissue between the camera and the cervix. (The camera handle isn’t long enough) Add a pregnancy to that? The risk of hypertension, gestational diabetes, premature labor, fetal demise and other issues rise exponentially. It also adds a risk of injury to the ultrasound tech. Also can’t usually do C-sections in the typical style. Some physicians will do them at the top of the uterus because low incisions can’t heal.

On this note, I suppose you are like the rest of us. It’s an extremely vulnerable situation and very private. I get that way too. And I am fully aware (because I literally look at vaginas all day) that no one there cares at all. Lol. Seen one, you’ve seen them all. :laughing:

Probably more than you wanted to know. But I do love talking about my job. I find it fascinating.

I’m so glad you’re here! Because there is pretty much NOTHING I’m not curious about, and it seems like you’re the same way. A kindred spirit, as Anne of Green Gables would say.

Not TMI at all. And I know the gyno doesn’t care - my patients worry about their terrible, shameful disclosures, but they’re probably the third eating disorder/molested/addiction hx/estranged this week. I am not shocked by any of it at this point.

I’ve learned a lot in the setting that I currently work. My knowledge of diabetes and how it causes all the damage it does has greatly increased. I’m constantly picking the brains of my perinatologists and diabetic nurses. Amazing source of knowledge. I wish I worked more closely with the fetal cardiologist. The things I could learn …

Copy that. I see your confusion and raise you a WTF. We have 3 current pregnant patients that are 500+. First time I ever saw a 92 BMI in this department.

I am also is utter confusion over HOW….like, literally, physically HOW were these women able to GET pregnant. In my brain, I keep seeing that one scene in ā€œTop Gunā€ where Maverick was using the 2 toy planes to explain how he was ā€œinvertedā€, when I try to figure out the logistics of the impregnation. 500lbs is A LOT of flesh, folds, hills/valleys, etc!
