Vaccine hesitancy

I’m a pediatric nurse. I am so angry about a note I just read in a toddler’s chart. The parents cited their reason for refusing to vaccinate that RFK has put out so much conflicting information about their safety and they’re going to wait until he has put out more definitive advice 😭
He is directly harming children.

Sexist and fat-phobic novel

This is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper had been sitting on my bedside table for ages, so I finally chucked it in my work bag as I figured a funny-tragic family drama might make for easy reading on my daily commute. Plus, it had been adapted some years ago into what appeared to be a well-cast crowd pleasing movie (starring Jane Fonda, Jason Bateman and Tina Fey).

Well I’m a third of the way through it and my god the fat-phobic, body-shaming, leering attitude of the main character is breathtaking. I am so angry I’m short of breath. Women reduced to their body parts and basically their attractiveness to the main character. Ick. Not going to finish it, and will probably shred it for storage packaging.

Has anyone else come across this kind of “dick-lit” genre?

I just learned there are such things as veterinary chiropractors

So we’ve learned that human chiropractic care is based on myths, but somehow we’ve extended it to animals? Wow.

Opinion piece in my local paper

Published this weekend in the Sunday Times in Western Australia. Just so bad.

Have we reached the point where posting “health trend videos” should require a license?

I feel like too many people who have no idea what they're talking about are giving millions of people medical advice that's harmful.
