It should be a criminal offense if an insurance company is responsible for a delay in a policyholder's necessary health care.

Withholding prescribed treatments, even for just a day, can be anywhere from inconvenient to catastrophic for the victim. Medical providers may not withhold necessary treatment from any patient on any grounds, as it is their duty to provide it-- it should be justly illegal for any "middle man" to interfere with a medical provider's legal and ethical obligation to treat a patient.

Severity of the charge and its legal consequences should depend upon the scope of the offense (length of delay) and its consequences to the victim (impact on the person).

The testimonies of the victim, the pharmacy, and the medical provider who prescribed the treatment should be key considerations for the determination. Additional important testimony should come from the victim's other medical providers, housemates, family, educators/mentors, colleagues/coworkers, or employers.

The charge should become criminal record for the company. The company (perhaps the agent's office) should be fined per day delayed.

Some taxation can be applied; just to pay off the folks who do the filing, advocacy, testimony, processing. A hefty majority of the fine should be compensation owed to the victim.

If delays became a criminal charge on companies' records, then companies would have a strong motive to terminate agents who aren't performing with punctuality. It would become their best financial interest to invest only in timely agents who would, in turn, gain a best interest to invest only in timely subordinates.

I posit that insurance delays would wane significantly, resulting in more timely delivery of treatments to policyholders, and many people's qualities of life would improve drastically for it.

Thinking about River affectionately calling the Doctor her “madman in a box” only after he's called her his “bespoke psychopath,” and vice versa. They each were called these words by the other before ever using them to describe the other.

Thinking about the way they defy reality for each other. How modern psychiatry elevates objective reality to gatekeep full participation in society, yet they shatter objective reality with love — “I can’t let you die without knowing that you are loved.” and “You are always here to me and I always listen and I can always see you.”

Thinking about “What's the mad fool talking about now?” and how Gallifrey ostracizes those labelled mad, going so far as to see it as failure in children. Thinking about “A child is not a weapon!” “Give us time.” and how Kovarian equates psychopath with weapon as a tool of dehumanization and control.

Thinking about the way the psychiatric-industrial complex inflicts violence upon those who deviate from psychosocial norms. How their relationship was born in violence, but of madness — not madness in a post-Enlightenment framework of opposition to Reason, but madness as radical compassion that doesn’t demand so-called rationality — “Every time you've asked, I have been there.”

Thinking about how neither of them chose “psychopath” or “madman,” but they both own those words as instruments in their own agency.

Every new era survivor finale has the following:

- a man who is dumb and wasn’t ever seen as a threat bc he did nothing all season

- a woman half the internet hates for reasons that are unclear to me but is a genuine badass

- and an extremely buff person who was great at challenges but maybe didn’t have the best strategic game

Bonus points if one of them had a very good strategic game but is just incapable of expressing it to the jury for some reason

[anarcho-mom-unist]

Could you imagine if a conversation about public health could happen in like any context without the specter of The Fatties being brought up as a clearer and more present danger than whatever is the actual topic at hand.

#and you know it’s never something like ‘how do we develop a health and welness framework that actually works for large bodies’ #it’s always ‘how can I continue berating and dehumanizing fat people about their weight’ #and listen it’s not so much that my body size has no relationship to my overall health #but like no one’s ever actually died of fat #and even if a significant amount of people had that still wouldn’t be a moral issue to shame and abuse people about #however at the end of the day a vanishingly small amount of people jumping to shout ‘obesity’ in an unrelated public health discussion #actually gives a shit about changing public health putcomes or w/e #unless it’s eliminating people they don’t like looking at from dignified public existence

[incorrect-immunology-facts]

You know, I think I let myself stress out about immunology a lot more than I could afford to, and I’m really feeling right now that all my old interests are just Scary and Overwhelming, so I probably won’t be making any more immunology shitposts for a while, but I will share a metaphorical framework that’s helped me with emotional regulation—and maybe it could be a useful tool for someone else.

I find it useful to think about different mental stress responses by analogy with different types of immune responses driven by different Th subsets. Like I said, this is a framework which has helped me, but take or leave whatever aspects of it you find helpful.

A regulatory response is a way to respond to stress when you know you’re safe and there’s nothing you can actually do about it; letting your emotions and thoughts be however they are and just trying to keep yourself physiologically as calm as possible. A type 1 response is a means of maintaining control when you know you can respond effectively to a situation—focusing on figuring out what needs to be done and how you can do it. A type 2 response is a more active form of damage control; it can calm you down when you’re stressed or stress you out when you’re calm, and generally helps make stress into a more comfortable experience. A type 3 response is one that really leans into the stress, taking it as motivation to push even harder.

I’d say that type 3 responses are most appropriate either in response to acute physical stress, or else in response to things you can easily remove yourself from to process in a calmer way, because they can be very difficult to come back from. And I have OCD, but I’ve been on medication for it that makes most things seem less intrinsically stressful—so I forgot how exhausting and potentially traumatic type 3 responses can actually be, and I’ve leaned into stress so much that at this point I kinda panic about anything related to school, and I don’t really know what to do about it. Right now I’m mostly trying to be like an alternatively activated macrophage and just do as much damage control as possible. I’m hoping to get into therapy soon so I could maybe figure out how to engage with school stress in a healthier way, and reaching out to some neurodivergent family friends who know what it’s like to be Not Okay in response to objectively fine situations.

Idc who this upsets, but I actually hated the whole forced mask wearing era with a burning passion. As someone with epilepsy which is aggravated by heat, it was absolute hell to have to wear that shit because (and fuck what y’all abled-bodies wanna say) it DOES impact my breathing and make me overheat. And I actually cannot just ‘go get a medical exemption’ because a) they don’t give that shit out like free candy, I had to go pay $500 to a neurologist to get that lil note, and b) I could staple that med cert to my fucking forehead and still get people losing their minds every time I went anywhere without a mask. Everyone like ‘oh disabled people are so terrified of COVID-19 so you should think of them before ragging on masks like this’ as though everyone ain’t already spent the last three decades of my life not giving a singular shit about my disability, but now suddenly want to act like they care about disabled people? Why tf should I care about giving anyone the spicy cough when no one has ever given a fuck how many seizures their actions cause me? Y’all want me to put my own health at risk by wearing this mask, so you don’t get a lil sore throat, when y’all will remain deliberately oblivious to epilepsy and other heat-related illnesses, right up until someone dies, and then you’ll still have a giggle about that too? Way more people be dying every day from heat-related illnesses than from COVID-19, so where’s my mandatory air-conditioning and icepack stations at every street corner? Fuck hand sanitizer stations, provide me a free cold drink. Additionally, mask wearing was the ONLY thing people got this fucking turnt about too. It’s not like any of y’all were social distancing (something which would have actually helped me with my disability lmao). No one was getting booted out of stores for standing on my damn heels every time I had to get in a queue. Anyway, after the first twenty times I got asked to leave a store for not wearing a mask (despite having that magical medical certificate) I made up my own mask by getting four of those ‘valves’, absolutely gutting the inside of them to allow unrestricted airflow, and then stitching them into a linen mask. Still uncomfortable, fo sure, but a lot better than having to deal with hot air on my face and under my sunglasses while already struggling not to pass out in the middle of the Australian summer. 

#and like #the amount of fake news about this topic too #everyone still think that the only people who had a problem with mask wearing or COVID-19 policies or whatever #are all crazy anti-vax pro-Trump nazi conspiracy theorists #when actually most people speaking up and protesting were people like me #people with disabilities whose lives were (ironically) being put on the line by these COVID policies #or doctors who were asking very reasonable questions about the safety of these vaccinations #(and especially irt the safety of women who we later found out are actually at a much higher risk of vaccine injury) #(but lol we still don't care about that bc fuck womens health amirite) #or lawyers who were concerned about the legal framework these COVID-19 policies were being implemented under #concerns that have now come to fruition #since many of these laws that were brought in 'just for COVID-19' are still in effect and still being renewed and applied to other areas #like for example #cracking down on protestors with the threat of decades in jail #especially if those protestors inconvenience a coal mine #but you wouldn't hear about any of these qualified people and their qualified concerns in the news #bc that doesn't make headlines like 'nazis form a hippy commune and plan to eat your babies' did #honestly this whole past couple years just made me hate society even more lmao #epilepsy #disability #ableism

sometimes someone seems autistic and they're literally. just Asian. western medicine does this.

#signs #disorder #stick out #this is a critique #btw #like does neurodivergence need to necessarily be pathologized? #does disability? do we Need to pathologize the human condition? #idk maybe #we can def do smn Better tho....that facilitates more understanding and not just... separation (at best) #anyway thinking ab this lately just cause like. #so when i really figured my shit out in undergrad. i realized i want to go into health and healing #but i wanted a huamnistic perspective and not a pathologizing one #bottom-up so to speak. to appreciate the variety of humanity and alleviate suffering within that framework #so i went into communicationd with concentration in culture and disability #and in this specific instance some of autism (truly i don't think they are Symptoms bc they do not... #like. these traits are not inherent to the condition we just often display them but theyre secondary #they dont describe the core of the condition (which is just a particular neurosystem--everything else is secondary) #but is inherently smn culturally abnormal (theoretically harmful or at least disruptive) #common autistic behaviours like avoiding eye contact; low affect; high or low volume; reservedness #these are Common Traits of Asian cultures! ( #obviously Most of the world is Asian so there is CONSIDERABLE variation. but the pt being that these are only abnormal from a WESTERN pov #(also I'm in the United States so i am in particular thinking about Asian Americans but this also applies to like intl interaction) #(like... idk a tiktoker from Hong Kong that ppl think is Autistic who may be allistic) #(also I'm not tryna say only westerners/usa be autistic and Asians can't LMAO) #(its a Human neurotype. just the things that depend on what is circumstantially normative) #anyway.......... hello to the 3 ppl who will see this #actually autistic #mine #critical cultural studies #coms

[ammaterasu]

i agree with ur sasuke take,,,, like i think the series has a LOTTT of flaws but i don’t think sasuke finally finding some relief from his lifelong grief in the love he has for naruto (which is reciprocated) and being able to rekindle his hope for a better world without a need for personal eternal sacrifice is one of them tbh.

Yes I agree. I agree 100%, just genuinely curious, what post made you think I disagree?

If it's the latest one referencing the v for Vendetta, that exactly proves my point.

My point is that Naruto cares about the man.. the human being that is sasuke. Naruto wants sasuke first and foremost to be happy and at peace.

(Vs readers of the story that can disengage and see sasuke as a fictitious character wish to see sasuke continue to push his mental limits and continue his quest for vengeance even while seeing how it's hurting him inside)

Naruto doesn't see sasuke as a pawn for social justice, or a character to project his ideals for political revolution onto. Rather he sees him as a human being in pain and he wants to carry that pain with him... It's ... The love between Naruto and Sasuke is so beautiful. It's not a mistake at all.

Sorry is this refering to another post?

#asks #i think i can reference an old ask as well where i stated that 699 monologue about sasuke accepting narutos vision and looking towards #the future with a framework of peac eis beautiful and i like 699 monologue for that #like i can relate so much to naruto seeing sasuke break down and 'stopping him' #and allowing him space to heal before revisiting this work in a health framework

[bisexualamy]

i do this every 3-6 months where i consider that i may be autistic and then i just decide it's not worth it to investigate. instead i've just kinda settled on allowing myself to do stimming behaviors and routine setting and managing overstiumlation in a way that keeps me comfortable and not label myself as anything

#ren speaks #it has been instructive for me to just like. label myself as decidedly nd and move on #it may not be that way in the future but it works for now #i have a good friend who i lived with for two years who is autistic #who told me multiple times that they thought i was somewhere on the autism spectrum #its one of the reasons we worked so well living together #but i never got far down that path bc every mental health professional i've seen #has told me i don't qualify bc i have too much social intelligence #i am good at social situations i'm good at reading people #what they do not understand is i am only good at that now bc i have studied other people since i was a child lmao #i just learned all of the rules #and i've started just only existing in social circles around people who do not care so much about the rules #anyway. the framework is helpful for me #it's also destigmatized a lot of the shit i do for myself to keep myself safe #tons of notetaking really intense color coded calendering organizing things really specifically establishing routines #eating the same thing for breakfast and lunch every day #always bringing headphones with me so i can dull sounds if i'm overstimulated #it helps to know that other people do this too #anyway

i still don't have the unrebloggable post thing lol

#disordered eating #weight loss mention #medical #with the warnings out of the way here's the real post #ive been having body image issues and Also health issues that may be tied to my weight #so in a moment of weakness a few weeks ago i decided to at least look at the n0/0m app to see what all the fuss was about #bc the marketing really did make it sound like it might be onto something #and i know enough about nutrition to know that everyone's healthiest way of eating can vary wildly #so like idk i gave it the benefit of the doubt. maybe its helping people do a modified version of intuitive eating or something #but nope!!! i wont go into details but it was SO HORRIBLY DISORDERED #i dont doubt that maybe there are some people with cores of steel who could engage w its framework in a healthy way #mostly bc the world is a vast tapestry and i cannot possibly understand everyone elses experiences #but like. MY FUCKING GOD WEIGHT LOSS CULTURE IS SO AWFUL #nothing about what i saw on that app would have supported my health lemme tell ya #(also disclaimer me claiming that maybe I would benefit to lose weight for health reasons is not me saying all fat people are unhealthy #or need to lose weight. nobody owes anyone health or thinness or whatever. i dont want to argue about what led me to this conclusion #and i am being extremely careful to prioritize my actual literal health over my weight #i dont have a goal weight i dont count calories i have a goal of manage xyz conditions using gentle lifestyle changes) #(this feels like a lot of disclaimers to say abt me talking about a very average healthcare choice but i feel the need to say it anyway #bc 1 fat activism is so fucking important and i am aware that my personal health choices are not apolitical #and 2 i am a weenie and i dont want my vent about an app that feels like garbage to me to upset anyone) #anyway. diet culture exists to force as many people as possible into very destructive eating patterns for the sake of The Profit #dont fall for it like i briefly did. worry about your health and let your body worry about how to handle your fat cells

Navigating the Genetic Landscape of Blood Cancers: Innovations in Diagnosis and Treatment - Technology Org

Navigating the Genetic Landscape of Blood Cancers: Innovations in Diagnosis and Treatment - Technology Org

In an era where precision medicine is swiftly becoming the gold standard, the battle against rare blood cancers, known as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), is advancing with remarkable sophistication. Renowned health organisations, including the World Health Organisation and the International Consensus Classification, have emphasised the crucial role of identifying mutations in specific genes such as JAK2, MPL, and CALR. This focus is particularly pivotal for diagnosing MPNs that do not show the Philadelphia chromosome, a hallmark for some types of leukaemia, underscoring a nuanced approach to tackling these complex diseases.

Strategic mutation detection: Guiding the way forward

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network provides a structured framework for testing, guiding physicians through a meticulous process of mutation detection. Initially, the focus is on identifying mutations in a particular segment of the JAK2 gene. If suspicions of MPN persist, the testing scope expands to include CALR and MPL mutations, particularly for suspected cases of essential thrombocythemia or primary myelofibrosis. For individuals possibly facing polycythaemia vera (PV), a distinct MPN form, analysis of a different section of the JAK2 gene becomes imperative.

Diverging pathways: BCR-ABL and beyond

The quest to understand and categorise these disorders has led to the division of molecular laboratory investigations into two critical pathways, mirroring the complexity and specificity of the diseases themselves.

Firstly, there are tests aimed at detecting the BCR-ABL rearrangement – BCR-ABL quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) – a genetic hallmark of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). This particular type of MPN is defined by the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome, a product of this rearrangement, and signifies a distinct category within the MPN spectrum. The identification of the BCR-ABL gene through molecular diagnostics is not just a matter of classification; it directly influences the treatment strategy. Patients with this rearrangement are typically treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which target the abnormal protein produced by the BCR-ABL gene.

On the other side of the diagnostic divide are the tests designed to identify mutations in the driver genes of Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-negative) MPNs. This category encompasses a variety of conditions, including PV, essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), each associated with mutations in genes such as JAK2, CALR, and MPL. Unlike their BCR-ABL-positive counterpart, these Ph-negative MPNs require a different approach to diagnosis and treatment, relying on the identification of these specific mutations to guide therapeutic decisions.

Early Detection through advanced technologies

This detailed diagnostic pathway is integral to a larger story of innovation within haematology laboratories, where tools such as qPCR and digital PCR (dPCR) facilitate the early identification of key mutations at low variant allele frequencies (VAF). These advancements enable the detection of disease markers years, sometimes decades, before the clinical onset of haematological malignancies, tracing some mutations back to as early as childhood or even prenatal stages. Early mutations detected in conditions ranging from the asymptomatic “pre-MPN” phase to overt MPN highlight the disease progression continuum and underscore potential intervention opportunities.

Precision in genetic testing and its implications

In the area of Ph-negative MPNs, the accuracy of genetic testing is increasingly crucial. The World Health Organisation emphasises the critical role of identifying the JAK2 V617F mutation as a core diagnostic criterion for PV, ET, and PMF. However, the story extends beyond mere detection; quantifying this mutation is pivotal for patient management and prognostication.

The implications are significant: a higher VAF of the JAK2 V617F mutation correlates with a more aggressive disease course, including intensified symptoms in PV, an elevated risk of serious blood clots in ET, and accelerated progression in PMF. This insight shifts the focus towards a more refined, personalised approach to cancer treatment, where the mutation’s quantity may unlock the potential for more effective, targeted therapies.

The role of dPCR and NGS in advancing diagnosis

Traditionally, allele-specific qPCR has been the benchmark for measuring JAK2 V617F mutation levels, praised for its sensitivity and specificity. It has allowed clinicians to both detect and quantify mutations, informing therapeutic strategies. Enter dPCR, an innovative technology set to revolutionise this standard. dPCR excels in providing absolute quantification of the JAK2 V617F mutation without the need for standard curves, offering unmatched precision in assessing mutation load. The benefits are considerable, providing a clearer pathway for therapeutic decision-making.

Comparative studies affirm the high concordance between qPCR and dPCR, reinforcing confidence in the accuracy of these methods. dPCR’s precision is transformative, enabling precise measurement of mutation levels and potentially revolutionising patient care. Beyond this precision, the integration of next-generation sequencing (NGS) into diagnostic practices expands the horizon. NGS doesn’t merely assess the JAK2 V617F mutation but provides a comprehensive view of the genetic landscape, revealing a range of mutations that could affect disease progression and treatment response. This broadened perspective marks a new chapter in personalised medicine, where treatment can be customised to each patient’s unique genetic profile.

A new paradigm in MPN management

As we find ourselves at this crossroads, the amalgamation of dPCR, NGS, and conventional diagnostic approaches is forging a new standard in MPN management. This represents not merely progress but a significant leap towards a future where treatment is not only targeted but also transformative. The implications are vast, heralding a new era in cancer treatment where precision in diagnosis and treatment personalisation converge, offering hope to those facing these daunting diseases. In this evolving field, the promise of improved patient outcomes and quality of life is not just a hopeful prospect—it is an imminent reality, signalling a new dawn in cancer care.
