house’s cane is grotesquely underutilised sexual style in fanfics considering that 1) it’s a long phallic object that he is constantly handling and 2) he straight up joked about fucking wilson with it that one time

#I mean that’s not even my thing personally but like cmon #sick of fanfics where house’s disability is magically healed/not mentioned/ignored to an unrealistic extent #it’s not about what you can do for the infarction so much as what it can do for YOU #it makes me wonder if we all watched the same show #I watched house slam a man against the wall and hold him there by the cane to his throat and I was never the same #house md #hilson #house/wilson #gregory house #james wilson #greg house #hatecrimes md #hornyposting #oh also don’t forget the time wilson grabbed it in that deleted scene as a power move. insanity #I was at the national portrait gallery today and I saw a painting of a king w/ his sceptor and I had a Realization #idc if it’s cringe... a big stick is simply an evolved packer. that shit is HOT

twitter’s really just letting people spread misinformation and fear monger about the covid vaccines.

saw someone say “pfizer started testing their mrna vaccine in 2017, 2 years before covid! they’re responsible for the pandemic!”

that was probably when they started testing the safety of general mrna vaccines, which is also the reason they were able to forego the regular extended clinical trial process and get rush authorization...bc there was already data proving safety and efficacy...they weren’t just out there with the covid virus...

im tired.

#like goddamn the fear mongering is effective #it gives me anxiety and i know it's bs #i can't even imagine what it does to someone who doesn't realize it's all lies #lol the one that makes me laugh tho is the theory that bill gates is trying to kill everyone #bro he sells tech i think he needs the masses for that #people online also need to take a stats class #look i did chem and physics not bio so im gonna trust the bio people on this #you probably should too #ugh i also saw someone say myocarditis and heart attacks are the same thing #bro heart attacks are called myocardial infarctions #different conditions #pls you have google use it im begging you #now yeah ur right these companies are money hungry #but that's the real reason they're releasing so little data #not bc they want you do die getting a FREE vaccine #bc they want their formulas and methods to remain proprietary so they can charge a premium exporting to other places #and strike exclusive deals #exactly how much sense does it make for people who make a living off of people's health #to be intentionally reducing their client base? hm? #you're all concerned about the companies being added to the childhood vaccine schedule bc of some immunity thing #class action lawsuits can still happen and the US gov would 100% stop patroning these companies entirely #if they were found eventually to be causing mass harm #the mrna vaccine has so many other potential and lucrative applications #you really think they'd botch this up when the non-covid possibilities could make them insane amounts of money? #idk man pharma companies suck but their malice is focused in profit #like keeping things exclusive to their companies so they can drive up cost #that's why you can get tretinoin outside of the US for like $30 #but here it's more than $100 #exclusivity #same with insulin and epipens and tamiflu and vasculera

[housethemd]

Over the course of the show we see House take baths on several occasions (and of course I have a headcanon about it)

I think that as of canon era, House likes to take baths. But I don’t think this was always true.

We must remember that House was forced into ice baths as a child by John House as a punishment. I feel like this would have given him a lot of trauma around baths, so even when they were warm and even if he ran them he could never relax.

But then the infarction happened, and standing to take a shower became a struggle. He hated having a shower chair so the obvious solution became baths. So he would grit his teeth and get in the tub because he could only go so long without a proper washing up. After a few times, he starts to notice that soaking in the hot water lessens his pain and slowly he is able to reframe baths in his mind. No longer a punishment but a means of pain relief. Eventually he starts to enjoy them, and starts taking them just because.

So yeah, headcanon that House had to work to reframe baths in his head.

Also now I’m imagining an infarction-era fic where Wilson is trying to get House to take a bath (“you stink, House.”) and while Wilson doesn’t know why the idea of a bath stresses House out so much, he still does everything he can to make it a good experience for him (“look I put some bubbles in it.”) and when he finally gets House into the tub and goes to leave to give House some privacy, House grabs him by the wrist (“please don’t leave.”)

So Wilson stays. He sits on the lid of the toilet and they talk while House gets cleaned up. That’s how House takes his first few baths since he was a child, with Wilson right there, helping him remember that things are safe and the tub isn’t a punishment (even if Wilson doesn’t know that’s what he’s doing.)

Medicine is a numbers game. I use probability all the time. If you don't understand probability, you'll look at someone with chest pain and have no fucking clue how likely it is that you're looking at a heart attack. You may not even know what the other top contenders are. GERD is common. Anxiety. An angry rib muscle. Lots of options. Most of the time, most chest pain won't be a heart attack, but sometime it'll be something worse--an aortic dissection that's rupturing will kill you even faster than most heart attacks.

I see so many patients who come in with a symptom that the Internet, whether Google or influencers, has told them is associated with this one thing. It's often the thyroid. And yeah! A fucked-up thyroid can cause all kinds of symptoms. But here's the deal: if I check your thyroid and it looks normal, it's probably not your thyroid that's causing the symptoms. It could be something else we understand. It is very often something we don't understand. But the fact that I can tell you modern medicine doesn't understand some process doesn't mean your naturopath or chiropractor or Certified Hormone Expert Influencer does understand it because they have this different way of looking at the body. Look, long, long before I wanted to be a doctor, I wanted to be an herbalist. I'm queer, I'm a woman(ish), I am neurodivergent, I am not The Man. I'm not beholden to the system; the system doesn't care for me and wishes I would sit down and shut up, most days. And I have a background in research science and statistics. I used to have a rubber stamp that said "Denied" and one that said "Approved" and I'd hit piles of paper for research applications at an R-1 university, in triplicate, with my stamps, because I understood research well enough to get a Human Subjects Division job evaluating it. If a naturopathic approach to thyroid worked well, I would be doing it. I'm a utilitarian. I don't give a rat's ass about the theoretical underpinnings of modern medical practice, I want things to work. Ideally I would like to know why they work, too, but hey, we can't always have it all.

So the dozens of patients I get every month who are looking elsewhere for answers, looking to people who don't actually know any better but are good at pretending they do, who pay money for elaborate supplement regimens or unvalidated genetic tests or (my personal least favorite) "memory-improving games," I have to be calm and professional and diplomatic about what I say. I can't say, "That's quack shit." I can't say, "Your favorite influencer is a liar and an idiot." Not just because I'd get lower patient satisfaction scores, but because patients wouldn't believe me, and they would reactively like me less and the other guy more. (You're calling me stupid? You're saying I wasted money? If I believe you're just a shill for Big Pharma, that hurts less.)

It takes years, even decades, to understand how to put together the probability maps. Chest pain in a patient under 40? Highly unlikely to be a myocardial infarction, but not totally impossible, especially if they've been doing cocaine. In a patient over 60? Much more likely. Is the pain crushing? Is it sub-sternal? How long has it been going on? Is it constant, or intermittent? Does the patient smoke? What other health conditions does the patient have? These are all deeply important questions, and I remember feeling overwhelmed by things like this all the time in medical school. It's taken so long to build my knowledge, and my background in research is only tangentially valuable most of the time.

Please don't believe authority just because it looks good. Don't trust people because you want to trust them. Learn about the scientific process, learn how the sausage gets made, and then you'll be in an infinitely better position to know whether this is a "wow! science!!!" or a "wow! science bullshit!" moment.

So no pressure at all not to answer if you don’t want to. Just if you do know…

*could* House still have his leg amputated? Would it help?

Initial disclaimer: I am not a doctor and I don't claim to be, any misconceptions are my own!

So we know that amputation was originally on the table in 1999/2000 when House initially had his infarction and then brought back into the limelight in 2011 when he committed bathtub butchery. But outside of those two acute incidents, could he have an amputation in the interim?

It's sort of a multipronged question because amputations, particularly above knee amputations (AKA) are pretty involved, risky surgeries. There's a lot of significant vasculature in the thigh that can be difficult to control. The femur in the thigh is the strongest bone in the human body, breaking a healthy adult femur is the equivalent of cracking concrete. Contrary to what House says when he claims surgeons are going to err on the side of "caution" and take his leg to protect themselves from complications, there are a lot of risks involved in taking a ~70 lb limb from the body. Patients after an AKA are 4x more likely to suffer a cardiac event. It's not just about preserving function if at all possible (though that is a concern). AKA is lower risk than, say, allowing a necrotic muscle to continue to rot inside the body, but if a healthy person with a mobility device walks into a surgeon's office and says, "I would like to have my leg amputated because of chronic pain," many surgeons are resoundingly going to say no.

That is especially complicated by House having had an infarction, a blood clot. Muscular infarctions are rare and almost exclusively happen in diabetics, so for House to have had one as a nondiabetic man in his late 30s/early 40s, he probably has something unusual going on in his blood to cause atypical clotting factors. He should be taking bloodthinners to prevent another infarction from occurring. By definition, that makes him a higher risk patient for any surgeon--he comes off the bloodthinners for surgery, putting him at risk for another infarction, or he doesn't and he's now at risk for hemorrhage.

Add to the equation that House is American in the world run by insurance--no insurance company is going to approve an amputation in a guy who's walking with a cane. Some would probably try to slide it by as a cosmetic/elective surgery to escape any financial responsibility, so he'd be looking at around $50,000 out the gate for surgery alone.

But the question will it help? is one that... really can't be answered. Again, contrary to what the canon displays, phantom limb pain is seldom easily fixed and can become chronic, plus the physiology is extremely poorly understood, so it's much more difficult to treat than standard acute or chronic pain. There's a pretty good chance that, with time and healing after amputation, House would have a fairly normal, pain-free existence, given he'll always be disabled and he'll face the struggles of using a prosthetic/walker/crutches/whatever mobility aid he chooses. There's also a chance that he could continue to live in chronic pain, now less treatable, while healing a surgical incision and learning how to walk again. It could fall either way. (And potential complications, ie a second infarction, cardiac event, no limitations, there's a lot to work with.)

All of that said--this is just in terms of my experience and limited knowledge. I think amputee!House is something that should be explored more often in fandom, from all sides of the equation (1999, 2011, favorable outcomes, unfavorable outcomes). It's worth mentioning that within the scope of the House MD universe, House does believe that he would be a happier person in less pain if he had had his leg amputated.

In terms of fanworks, anything goes! (I mean I literally wrote a soliloquy on how/why Wilson's cancer is considered terminal while simultaneously writing my WilsonLives!AU, so it's safe to say we should all be comfortable hurling realism in the toilet for the sake of Fix It FanFiction.) There are no rules, medicine as we know it doesn't exist, you can do Whatever You Want for the sake of the narrative.

[wilsonsmcgillsweatshirt]

Okay I've been meaning to respond to a post but Tumblr won't let me reblog it for whatever reason, but I feel like my response has enough context on its own that I can make it it's own post.

So this is in response to multiple posts I've seen people make about Wilson telling House that he wishes he had been an asshole like him, House responds that he would still have cancer, and Wilson says, "Yeah but at least I'd feel like I deserved it!"

There are so many people saying that Wilson had absolutely no reason for saying that, that they can't understand why he would say it, that it didn't need to be in there, and how dare he say that to House after House helped him so much after his cancer diagnosis.

There was a reason behind it, just because it's not a happy reason, doesn't mean it's not an understandable one. I think the way Wilson sees it at first is that House has spent his entire life pushing people away and hurting them so that he doesn't get hurt in return. House has abused and ruined every relationship he's had. House constantly hurts people, and yet, he gets to live. Wilson, on the other hand, has practically dedicated his life to helping and taking care of others. He's maintained this nice guy mask his entire life, and yet Wilson, who has lived what others would call a good life, who has been what others would consider a good man, is the one that gets cancer and is going to die.

Wilson feels like he wasted his life being a "good man" instead of just doing and saying whatever the fuck he wanted like House. Wilson is jealous of House. Wilson is laying there on the couch in insufferable pain with death looming over him, and here's Gregory House, asshole extraordinaire, who's alive and well (as well as he usually is). That has to really fucking hurt.

This idea that "omg how could Wilson do that?? He said that for no reason!!" Is just not true. Wilson said it because he's was in excruciating pain and terrified and just found out he was going to die in a couple of months. Wilson was scared, and he was lashing out, which is a very human reaction. House does it all the time, Wilson is not special in the way he reacts to pain. The entire series is full of House berating people and hurting them and saying awful things, and pushing them away. He does that to Wilson multiple times. And Wilson forgave him every single time. And so when Wilson is in pain and lashing out, House knows not to take his personally, and that's why he basically immediately forgave him.

House and Wilson know each other well enough that they can see behind the harsh words, and understand each others intent. Ideally, Wilson would not have said that, and he should have apologized, but that was not a crazy horrific reaction. It's true, House has done a lot for Wilson during their relationship, especially after his cancer diagnosis, but Wilson has also sacrificed for House. After the infarction, House lashed out and pushed away and abused everybody until they all cracked under it and left. Everybody except Wilson. Wilson put up with the constant humiliation, degradation, pain, and abuse from House.

Wilson put House before everything in his life, including his marriage. Later, Wilson refuses to vote to get rid of House, and therefore loses his spot on the board, and the job that he loved and put so much of his life into. All to protect House. Wilson lies multiple times to the police to protect House, risking his freedom if they found out. Wilson and House constantly sacrifice for each other, it's just what they do. Neither one of them is "better" or "worse", they just are.

If they switched roles, and House was the one with cancer, House would definitely lash out as Wilson, no doubt about it. And Wilson would forgive him. Wilson has such a realistic reaction. It doesn't matter how many times you see people diagnosed with cancer and think that it's not personal, that cancer doesn't have an agenda, nothing can prepare you for when it happens to you or somebody you love, and a lot of the time, it feels incredibly personal.

How we react to dying and sickness is not always rational, and anger is a stage of grief. This is Wilson trying to grapple with his death, and that doesn't always look pretty. Sure, it was a fucked up thing to say and House didn't deserve it, but Wilson wasn't just insulting him for the fun of it. He had a very realistic, understandable reason behind it.

Not going to lie, I see people all the time talking about this scene in particular, with such a surface level approach to it. They act mad or confused, and talk about how they have no idea how someone could possibly hurt their favourite characters. So yeah, Wilson saying it was a shitty thing to do, but there is no way it was the worst thing anybody said, and he had very obvious, complex reasons for it.

I honestly love this scene, and I think it gives so much insight into Wilson's character. Wilson finally lashes out and exposes his grief in such a raw, mean way is lowkey a pivotal moment for him because he's finally letting himself be the "bad guy." And yeah, they weren't forced to put this in the show. It's literally fiction. They don't have to put anything in. But it fits so well. So yeah, just because he has complex reasoning for why he said what he said, that doesn't mean the reasoning doesn't exist.

#Anyways hope this makes sense #I also hate when you critique people and they're like “It's just a show you shouldn't care so much” as a dig #like its not insulting #theres nothing wrong character analysis and being passionate about something you love #anyways people taking this scene and calling it the meanest thing anybody said in the series #and going on and on about how they cant understand why wilson would say this #and “how could he hurt house like that house helps him so much :((” #Like House doesn't take it personally because he understands why #anyways #house md #house #greg house #james wilson #gregory house #hilson #wilson #hate crimes md #hatecrimes md #housemd #house/wilson

About bending lightning...

This is a little snippet from Part 2 Chapter 1 (17 if you go by Chapter count) where Katara is practicing her bloodbending on Zuko. While doing this, she learns that the heart generates electricity, and Zuko explains that is why lightning can't pass through the heart.

This is a real thing.

Our bodies naturally generate low quantities of electricity. This is a concept used in The Matrix if you've ever seen it. Humans are used as 'batteries' in that universe. It's a cool concept and actually based on real science. Our bodies are also conductors for electricity as well. We are, in a sense, actual lightning rods.

Because of the minerals, elements, and water content in our body, we make excellent lightning rods because the lightning can pass through without interruption to the ground where it is dispersed. Remember, lightning is energy. It is neither created nor destroyed. It becomes other forms of energy. It is a visible energy that is the fourth state... plasma.

So how does a firebender like Ozai and Azula generate that kind of energy?

Lightning is a lot of energy. It is measured in volts and amps. It is also hotter than the surface of the sun... which is also plasma.

I'm exploring this because lightning both fascinates and terrifies me. But again, how does one generate that kind of energy?

I'm actually glad that lightning is used sparingly in the show because to generate a true bolt of lightning, it would require a lot of energy. Energy that you have to consume and convert from things you eat. I'd imagine that once you use lightning, your body will be depleted, causing fatigue and sluggishness. They don't show it in the source material, but that is something to think about.

But could lightning be absorbed by a well trained firebender? Maybe. Remember, lightning is energy. The body can only take so much and be able to sustain it. Redirecting it, in Zuko's case, means absorbing and releasing in a short amount of time. You aren't really taking it all on, just redirecting it. Iroh teaches Zuko to redirect through the stomach, not the heart, because the stomach is what helps convert energy. The Sea of Chi, as Iroh calls it. This is why Zuko was able to survive Azula's lightning, where Aang was severely compromised from it. Aang was also hit in the spine where the nervous system is compact.

Bending lightning is a high-risk, high reward move if used correctly. But it can also weaken the bender at the same time. So that is definitely a reason not to use lightning as a weapon all the time. Which is why you don't see firebenders using it much.

As for why it should not cross the heart? Because that much electricity passing through the heart could disrupt the rhythm. This is why we use defibrillators to correct tachycardia (rapid heartrate) and myocardial infarction (when the heart can't beat correctly or in layman's terms... a heart attack).

Anyway, this was my deep dive into why bending and redirecting lightning is not used much in the series.

And it was a little morsel from the recent chapter.

I will probably go deeper into why Bloodbending is the strongest form of bending. At this point, we should just call it Body Bending.

42 + 44 for House, 27 + 37 for Wilson!!

- Housethemd (can’t ask from a sideblog, how annoying)

@housethemd

Ooh making me work for it with Wilson

House

3 comfort items:

The softball canon answer is (1) his ball of unknown origin (2) his motorcycle and (3) his instruments. (Add to that his t-shirt collection, his favorite fruit apron, and his assortment of desk items collected randomly over time. House is a secret collector. He loves his things.)

But I think I can push it further with 3 fun headcanons / fan ideas.

1. Favorite book—maybe Moby Dick (for obsession and a flight of fancy, characters who are even more intense than he is as a way of release) or Twelfth Night (yearning and gender fuckery plus you know he was that kid who devoured Shakespeare in middle school just to prove he could). For a genuinely “really, Bee,” option—the collected works of Sherlock Holmes. There are lots of Sherlock adaptations House wouldn’t relate to but the original works are not one. Anyways whatever it is it would be some old fancy volume with paper thin pages and a leather binding. Smells great. Feels great. Looks great on the shelf. He’s read it so many times he can quote from it so he doesn’t pull it out much anymore.

2. Weighted blanket. This man would love and needs a weighted blanket, but maybe he has one already. He would use it an unreasonable amount. Imagine the Ducklings rolling up to ask him a question and he’s in Thinking Mode but with a weighted blanket.

3. French press. He likes the way it makes coffee, it’s copper and he likes the way it looks. He likes the ritual of it. Yeah. French press.

Also he should have a tiny comfy (as much as possible) folding chair in his kitchen. Just saying.

His happiest memory:

I think this strongly depends on what time in his life we’re talking about, so I’m gonna play with that a bit.

Pre-infarction: the paintball game with Stacy. Can you imagine the sexually-tense snarking? The glowing feeling of meeting someone who implicitly understands you - or at least can match your blunt deviousness? A fun way to meet someone so much like you.

Post-infarction to s3: I like to think that somewhere in there was a fun & tender moment with Wilson that something reminds him of and makes him smile on occasion.

s4-5: his whole relationship with Kutner tbqh. Kutner blowing up patients. Kutner switching to no. 9. Screwing with Kutner in the cat episode.

s6: when Wilson buys the organ.

Thereafter I think his happiest memory is doing the spud gun thing with Thirteen and when she tells him that promising to kill her was the best way she’d ever been loved.

Wilson

Guilty pleasure:

I’m just gonna redefine this as “embarrassing pleasure” for my own sake.

Canon: Telenovelas. Look at his defensiveness. Look at the plea in his voice when he begs for the season finale. This man is not learning Spanish. He knows Spanish. And loves telenovelas.

Headcanon: stuffed animals. He doesn’t keep any in the house for a long period of time, but he buys them as gifts as often as possible. He can’t help but anthropomorphize them and likes to hug them and do funny voices. If he was more able to allow himself to do what he wants and fly in the face of convention, he’d have quite a few. (Not hundreds or anything, bc he’d connect with each one, but maybe four or five. They’d live on the bed or the couch.)

What he really thinks about himself:

See now this is the tough one. So many (all?) of the House MD characters are layers within layers, and Wilson is tough bc he’s often unaware of what’s going on with himself. So what he *really* thinks of himself? Hmm.

I think he thinks he deserves better in so many situations. I think sometimes he might be waiting for someone to save him, that if he’s good enough maybe he’ll deserve it & it’ll happen. I think he believes he has to be as giving of a person as he can be or else he is committing a crime / causing harm / not fulfilling his moral and ethical responsibilities. I think he knows he goes above and beyond but is terrified that isn’t true. (And I do think the one hc that he has moral perfectionism OCD makes a lot of sense.)

Euston Road

May 22 Prompt: Taxi

No moon tonight, and I’m walking down Euston Road. 

Where are the cabs?

I’m thinking about the case, hurrying home so I can go into my Mind Palace. 

Male, mid-thirties. Office building. Suffered major heart attack. 

Why do they always describe heart attacks as major? Could one suffer a minor heart attack? And is there any other way to have a heart attack other than suffering it? The whole phrase seems rather redundant. And not very scientific. Myocardial infarction. That’s what it is. A clot blocking the flow, blood coming to a halt, pain, damage, death. 

Rather young for a heart attack, though it does happen. In an office, I’m talking to someone, and then… I’m falling, and I know…

I was talking to someone. No, I saw something. Someone. 

A gun.

Where are all the cabs? 

I just want to get home now, back to Baker Street. Right now, I could murder for a cuppa.

Gun. Murder.

It wasn’t a heart attack. Why did I think that? 

John would have known, of course. He would have pointed out the blood. And then he would shake his head, that patient smile on his face, and he would say, You’re working too hard, Sherlock. We need to get you home. I’ll make tea, and you’ll sprawl on the sofa, and—

Yes, I need to get home. It’s late, and I’m tired, and I need to go to my Mind Palace. 

Where is my Mind Palace?

Euston Road is dark and deserted. It must be very late indeed for that to happen. This is London, where it’s never this quiet and dark. Even the street lamps seem dimmer. 

London got its first gas street light in 1807. Electric lights followed by the end of the century, but as late as the 1930’s, half of the street lights were still gas. Before street lighting, people had servants carry lanterns ahead of them if they had to go out at night. 

That man, in the office. Standing there, talking to someone, he might have felt like he was having a heart attack, but he was definitely shot. He’s never had a heart attack, so he doesn’t know what’s happening. But he must have seen the gun. He did see the gun. And he knew, in that second, that he’d been fool to go alone. 

My mouth is dry. I need a cup of tea, and I need John. John will help me think. He will make tea and ask me questions, and I will put it all together, figure it out. Just a bit further to Baker Street. 

John. John found the body. The man was shot in the chest, fell backwards. The mirror behind him was not shattered by the bullet, so that means the bullet is still inside him. 

I’ll go see Molly, and she’ll tell me what kind of bullet it is, what kind of gun, how the man died. 

It won’t matter, of course. He’s dead. Somebody shot him and his murderer is still out there. Assassin in black. Don’t tell John.

I should have known. I did know. 

Where are all the cabs?

There are always cabs on Euston Road. In the eighteenth century, they used to drive cattle along this road. All of this was farmland then. Later, the entire road was dug up to build the underground. Sometimes you can feel the vibration from the trains as they run some thirty metres beneath the ground. Or maybe you can’t. I’ve always imagined that I can. 

I imagine what it would feel like to be shot in the chest. People always think they’d have time to dodge a bullet, but an average bullet travels 2500 feet per second, too fast to do any dodging. It’s a very efficient way to kill someone. 

Molly described it to me. You go into shock because of the pain. You don’t have time for regrets. 

I have regrets.

“John,” I whisper. “I’m sorry, John.”

“I’m right here, Sherlock.” 

A warm hand on my forehead. I open my eyes. John looks concerned, but smiles to see me.

“Did I die?”

Chuckle. “No, you’re very much alive. You have a concussion, though. Can you tell me what year it is?”

“2014.”

Another chuckle. “Well, that confirms it. Or maybe you’ve time travelled.”

My eyes close of their own volition. “Did you catch the shooter?”

“You haven’t been shot, Sherlock.”

I force my eyes open. “Tell me everything.”

“You were in the street, flagging down a cab. Another driver wasn’t paying attention and hit you, knocked you over. Your head hit the pavement.”

“What year is this?”

“It’s 2010, same as yesterday. No, don’t try to sit up. Do you want some water?”

“John. I must tell you something.”

His hand holding mine. “Calm down. You need to rest.”

“No. I have to tell you. Before… before it’s too late.”

“Sherlock—”

“I love you, John.”

“So you’ve said. Several times.”

“It’s true. I love you.”

“No longer married to your work?”

“Never was. Not since we met, anyway. Don’t get married, John. Promise me.”

“It’s okay, Sherlock. I broke up with Sarah, remember?”

“Yes. But. No one loves you as I do. I love you so much, John. I promise you, I won’t leave you. I won’t die.”

“That’s a pretty big promise.”

“And you must promise, too. No dating assassins. No getting married.”

“You’re not going to remember any of this the next time you wake up.”

“Do you love me, John?”

Hand on my forehead, fingers in my hair. Sigh. “God help me, I do. When that car hit you—” Lips touch my hand. “Just don’t… you’re so heedless sometimes. Impatient, five steps ahead of me. I know I’m an idiot, but—”

“You’re not.” Eyes are closing again. I blink, trying to stay awake. “I love you.”

“I love you, too, Sherlock. Get some rest, okay? I’ll be right here.”

“In 2010.”

I have brain damage too. (Stroke in 2018, that counts right? Also im not old, just unlucky ig) and I've been dealing with dystonia and spasticity in my right side, do you have any way of coping with movement disorders when you've tried literally everything and nothings helped?

omg hiii yes that absolutely counts!! we are pretty sure my issue is vascular as well although not as severe as a stroke, it’s basically a series of mini or partial strokes (“incomplete infarctions”). so major solidarity!!

could you clarify what you mean by coping – like physically adapting to symptoms, or emotionally dealing with the fact that nothing has worked? honestly i wish i had more advice for you but i am not doing super well at either so far 😅

as far as physically, my pcp gave me a muscle relaxer (tizanidine) that like, doesn’t stop my dystonia & involuntary movements but does make it less painful / less likely to get muscle cramps, and honestly it’s a plus that it makes me so sleepy because often my movement stuff makes it really difficult to sleep, so it can knock me out when i get desperate. that might already be on the list of stuff you’ve tried though so i’m sorry if that’s unhelpful!

emotionally like, i am super lucky because my gf & roommate are really anti-ableist & supportive so they help me with a lot, but it’s still just. really overwhelming especially when there isn’t much representation in disability spaces especially among young people.

while in practice i’ve found it more beneficial to refrain from separating my body from my “self”, i’ve kinda been shoehorning my experiences into media narratives of loss of bodily control in other ways, especially demonic possession because the stereotypical representation of that really resembles the types of involuntary movements i have. it’s a mixed bag & i definitely have complicated feelings about it lol.

i’m also really fortunate to have a couple friends with cerebral palsy & we’ve related a lot to each other’s experiences – there’s probably even more of an overlap with yours because my dystonia is usually, like, “between” more flailing-type involuntary movements rather than consistent on its own & i don’t experience much if any spasticity. but being able to joke about being afraid of breaking plates or spasming when you’re trying to have sex has been a huge source of comfort for me.

if people would be interested i’d be happy to make a super informal discord just to have a place to be like “wow this fucking sucks”? full disclosure i am super not cut out for like intensive Official Moderation shit more like just, this is a group chat & i just happen to be the one who made it, we’ve mutually agreed to be respectful, etc. & regardless, as always my dms + inbox are super open & i’m happy to share my discord if you wanna chat.

i wish i had more coping mechanisms to offer that aren’t just “loud music, sex jokes, & projecting onto sam winchester” lmfao but that’s where i’m at right now, tbh it’s just really comforting to hear from people dealing with the same shit even if there isn’t much we can do about it. again i’d love to talk more if you want & i’m super wishing you the best 💓💓

Hello! I heard you help out with some medical issues for writing and I was wondering if you would be so kind as to help me.

Some time ago I wrote a story involving a character (m, 47, general good health aside from anxiety/panic) getting maliciously drugged with synthetic cathinone with the intent to publicly embarrass/discredit him. Unfortunately he consumed more than intended, O.D., and had a a myocardial infarction caused by a drug induced coronary artery spasm. Happily since he was at an event that typically has an ambulance on standby, was near a hospital and didn't suffer the infarction until he was at the hospital, he recovers. Thankfully I found all the medical information I needed online for that fic.

My question is I am doing a follow up story that takes place 6 months later and I'm looking at what kind of medical care, if any, he'd have at this point. I'm finding far less information on that. I assuming maybe some monitoring and medication but I don't really know. I'm not planning on complications at this point, but it would be handy to know what kinds of things his doctors might be, or have those options in the back of my mind if I decide to go that route.

Thank you again for your time and expertise!

It would depend on the extent of damage suffered during the coronary artery spasm.

The severity of heart attacks is based on how much heart muscle died during the attack. When CAS occurs, the heart muscle is temporarily without oxygen, which causes chest pain and other heart attack symptoms. CAS that is immediately resolved may cause no damage, but if it goes on for a longer time period and the heart muscle starves for oxygen and glucose it would be the same as for any other cause of a heart attack (just without the underlying clotting or sclerosis).

As far as medication going forward, if CAS was likely to happen again, the patient would probably be on a calcium channel blocker like diltiazem, which would prevent CAS in the future. For this patient, who had a one-time drugging that clearly caused the CAS, they might be on a calcium channel blocker and anti-platelet (aspirin, clopidigrel) temporarily (a few weeks to a few months) and then taper off, though they may still carry nitroglycerin for an emergency out of an abundance of caution.

If they suffered heart damage during the CAS, parts of their heart muscle may be weaker and they may need to take medication to treat heart failure (anything from a diuretic to prevent swelling to a medication that makes the heart pump slower or harder to make it more effective) or go through a cardiac rehab program that gradually increases their exercise tolerance. You can look up "cardiac rehab" or "post MI care" to get more information about this.

From theory into practice:

So, think about it. Third-year Occupation Therapy student. Barely enough confidence in assessing let alone treating clients, entering a prestigious private hospital. Yes, that was me. Theory into practice is not always the same because they don’t teach how to feel and how to play detective. Allow me to break it down for you please proceed with caution should you read this.  

Day 1: We (group members and i) entered the hospital, where we met our clinical supervisor. Who proceeded to orientate us to the hospital. We then spoke about what we were lacking as individuals with regard to assessments. I informed the supervisor that I lacked knowledge of perceptual assessments. Which I believe is why she gave me a client that has cognitive fallout, to challenge me so I can get over this hurdle.

I started with my RCVA client, following the OT process I proceeded with the initial screening and interview. When asking the client to explain the events that lead to her CVA, to get an understanding of the client's intellectual insight to her diagnosis, the client got emotional and started crying. This was a therapeutic opportunity in that I got a better understanding of how this critical life event was affecting her psychological dynamics. In retrospect my handling during this stage was lacking and I should have looked for tissue and given it to the client. This would have increased my rapport building with my client.

I quickly realised that this was a private hospital, and you cannot have more than an hour with the client, as they have to see other members of the MDT. I, therefore, tried my best in combining assessment within the interview. I started with a tone assessment of the left elbow and left wrist. The rest of the left hemiplegic lower limb was not assessed because the client was in a wheelchair and because of her weight. She requires a 3-person transfer and getting her between bed to wheelchair and vice versa would have been frustrating to her. CVA is a neurological condition that affects neuron transmission as there is an infarct causing neuron cell death within that region due to hypoxia, (Stroke Association, 2013). This then causes tone impairments as the muscle now receives an impaired nervous transmission due to this, hence why tone was assessed using the Modified Ashworth Scale.

Range of motion was assessed for the left shoulder because the client had an impaired active range in her shoulder, seen through observations when I asked the client to lift up her arm in all shoulder motions. I did a formal Range of motion assessment to get the client's actual limitations. The same was done due to her left wrist. Stroke causes muscle weakness which affects the client's range of motion, ( Physiother Can. 2012). The lower limb could not be assessed due to reasons mentioned above.

Day 2: This was overall a good day. We got to the hospital today and I believe all of us were much more confident. I was in a good mood today, I even woke up early at 4am, as my mind was congested with what I was going to do with my CVA client. Time management is a factor I really need to have some introspection about. I initially went to look for my CVA client but I got there and she was busy with the nurses assisting her with bathing. I then thought it would be a great idea to go see my other client at that time. I then again exercised the theory of the OT process into practice by screening him then beginning with the interview. With him I really did struggle as to what to assess, because he has more cognitive impairments more than physical ones. That is where I found it hard because we tend to be taught theory in silos at my university, so I have more knowledge of physical assessments more than psychological assessments. So I tried integrating what I knew, I then told my supervisor who gave me reassurance that this was a learning opportunity.

All the while assessing my second client my CVA client was waiting for me, until she was taken away by the other OT. I then got an opportunity to see a wheelchair to-toilet transfer, practically not just theoretically, using some car hoist-looking equipment. Right? Yes, I always ask myself who thinks of these things? God’s gift to mankind I tell you. It made the transfer supercalafragalisticexpialidociously easy. Wait, pause  *laugh out loud*  do you really think I know what that word means or if it’s a real word, but all I know it that it fits well. Anyways enough about private school-going car hoist look-alike machine thingy. I saw a different type of system used from the theory we were taught which requires more physical exertion.

I was then left with the CVA client to assess static and dynamic balance using the TIS. This is because stroke causes muscle weakness which then affects the muscles of the trunk thus causing balance impairments, (Tyson et al, 2006). You know when you see the boss coming into the office and for no reason whatsoever you start being worried and thinking to yourself “Oh here we go again what are they going to say now?” That is the feeling I had today when I saw my supervisor coming from a distance. Funny how she will be reading this but hey you only live once right? Said that guy trying to convince himself. I wonder why we sometimes fear our superiors as if they were not humans themselves, beats me, buddy. I did the assessment, trust me to be a stickler and follow the rule as is. I found that following the theory to the T in practice is not always ideal. The supervisor actually helped me fill in the link between theory and practice. She pointed out the rather I start with the unaffected side when it came to the components of the assessment. This made sense to me, because now I could actually see the level of compensation the client was doing.

Oh, do you remember that my client gets emotive verbally and none verbally. This can cause her to take on a victim role in therapy, causing her to shift the blame kind of to the therapist. Because it’s more like I was inflicting pain on her but it’s okay you can carry on, (Hartney, 2022) was this a way to make me feel bad and lighten up the sessions? Don’t mind me, chief detective, investigator student OT on hand. This is all feedback I got feedback from my supervisor that made me question the source of the pain. Feedback is helpful extremely because now I can put on my detective hat and you the ‘by the way’ approach to see if it’s a psychological source or if it is real.

All in all this is a great opportunity where I learnt a lot thus far, it just rumber stamps the notion that theory is differrnt from practical. As I save that client don’t allow present the way that theory says. This is not to say that they don’t because sometimes they do present like that. So it is important I remember that theory is merely a guideline as how we work and go forward with client. I need to look and question myself as to why I haven’t given much time to learn my perceptual assessments as they are very necessary.

[housethemd]

hi!! i really love ur writing, u have written some of my fav house fics :3 if i may.... could i get some of ur thoughts on house navigating sex after the infarction? i love the exploration of sex as not just getting off, but as an emotionally intimate, deeply vulnerable act. something to be explored and practiced, something imperfect and deeply personal and unique. lmao anyways sorry for blabbering, i just think u have very good ideas about house and wilson's sexual relationship. u understand them so well

Ahhh thank you anon!! ☺️

So I’m going to start with my thoughts immediately post infarction and work up to Hilson because I have many thoughts!

Okay so I think immediately after the infarction and for a while after House had very little interest in sex. The pain and the drugs he would have been on would have had a negative effect on his libido, but also his tanking self esteem and body image likely would have killed his desire for sex. I think if in the year or so following the infarction if he did have sex, it was likely because he felt he was “supposed to” want sex, not because he actually did. I also personally headcanon that he probably would have started taking viagra or another type of ED medication to help because again, pain and emotional issues have a detrimental effect on sexual performance.

I think that plays into why he starts hiring prostitutes. He feels terrible about his body, insecure about his ability to perform, and he knows a prostitute won’t care. The lack of emotional connection makes it easier for him to set aside his anxieties. He is also literally paying them to cater to him, so it’s easier to ignore the fact that there are positions he just can’t do anymore. I think it would likely be vary hard for him to be on his knees for more than a couple minutes, especially when combined with thrusting, which means a lot of more common sexual positions (missionary, doggy, etc) are now out of the question for him. With prostitutes he doesn’t have to worry about them asking him to take a position he can’t, he simply says he wants them to ride him and they do it without question.

That all to say that from the infarction to whenever he and Wilson get together (whenever you personally like to headcanon that to be) House avoids the emotional aspects of sex like the plague.

Now when House and Wilson get together, House suddenly finds himself with a regular sexual partner who he cares about very much, and who cares about him in return. House can’t avoid the emotional aspects of sex anymore. He worries about what Wilson thinks of the infarction scar during sex, about what if Wilson wants a position House can’t do, House is worried about Wilson finding out he sometimes needs pills to get it up, and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

Wilson I think would try to get House to talk about his limits, requirements, etc early on but House would refuse because he’s built up so many walls he can’t figure how to let them down. Eventually though I think House would be so stressed about Wilson’s thoughts and his own performance that he wouldn’t be able perform at all. This probably makes him angry, convinced Wilson won’t want to be with him anymore because House sees himself as “broken.”

I think once House has had time to cool down, Wilson would finally be able to coax House into talking about it. Wilson probably went into his relationship with House knowing House would have limits, but also knowing House wouldn’t want to talk about them. But when he finally gets House to open up he feels so special. House would admit to needing the pills sometimes, about how he finds some positions hard and some downright painful, about how every time he takes off his pants he worries Wilson will be so turned off by his scar that he won’t want him anymore.

From there they start to explore what House can do. They find new positions, they try out new forms of pleasure when House is having difficulty getting it up (prostate orgasm, anyone?), Wilson kisses House’s scar to show him it doesn’t bother him, that it’s just another part of House. Yeah, Wilson has to prod still to get House to be honest but after a while the honesty comes more easily. House is able to reframe sex in his mind as being a journey instead of a goal. Together House is able to learn whole new ways his body can feel good.

I’m working on writing a fic with the working title “5 times House and Wilson had unconventional sex, and 1 time they didn’t” which explores the fun new types of pleasure these boys get up too, as well as House’s emotional journey regarding sex and how he feels about it and himself. So a bunch of the things mentioned here will be thought out more in depth in that.

Sorry this got so long! But I hope I answered your question and thank you so much for the ask!

Can Dogs Eat Fish? Initially, dogs had wolf ancestors, so they have a strong association with being carnivorous. Nevertheless, they also eat fish, both animal protein sources. This time, I will explain about dogs and fish. Fish is okay for dogs to eat. When dogs lived with humans, they transitioned from carnivorous to omnivorous animals. For example, there are numerous seas in the country, which explains why dogs have been eating fish since ancient times. Apart from INDIA, North America and Europe also feed salmon. Fish is found in many dog foods and treats, and dogs readily accept fish without resistance. In addition to being rich in proteins and vitamins, fish is also considered beneficial for dogs. The nutrients found in fish. Let's take a look at the specific nutrients found in fish. Protein Fish protein can be more digestible in the body than meat. The drug also excites unnecessary salts in the body, which is thought to prevent high blood pressure. Calcium Fish is rich in calcium. Stress is relieved by calcium, which strengthens teeth and bones. Additionally, it enhances resistance against pathogenic bacteria. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) So-called blue fish are abundant in DHA. It activates brain function and improves learning ability and memory. Dogs are said to benefit from it in preventing dementia in elderly dogs. Taurine Eye tiredness can be diminished, and blood vessels can be purified. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) As EPA reduces cholesterol and fat, which impair blood flow, it is said to be effective in preventing arteriosclerosis and myocardial infarction. A similar effect to that of DHA is expected to be seen with its use in preventing dementia in elderly dogs. Fish feeding instructions for dogs When feeding your dog fish, what should you pay attention to? Sashimi fish, processed to be eaten raw by humans, can also be fed raw to dogs. Raw fish also has the advantage of containing nutrients that break down when heated. Parasites are what I should give priority to. If you are concerned, heat it before giving it, just in case. What about grilled fish and dried fish? It is better to get tasted ones instead of seasoned ones, as flavored ones are too salty for dogs. When given too much, there is a risk of high blood pressure. When you give fish to your pet for the first time, keep the portions small, so you can see how it goes. If there is no particular problem, but you have diarrhea or vomiting or are unwell, stop giving it. If you overdose the fish, the dog can suffer from yellow steatosis. As a result of excessive intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which DHA and EPA represent in fish, the body lacks vitamin E. Some symptoms include fever, loss of appetite, general pain, and hardening of fat. As cat food spreads, yellow steatosis has become less common in cats, where fish has been the staple food recently. Fish is, therefore, food that dogs can eat. Please verify that you recognize how you utilize it to enhance your health. It is essential, however, to provide only a little. Is fish terrible for dogs? Depending on the amount and preparation of the fish, the dog can eat this food. However, you should ensure your friend does not eat raw fish. A raw meat diet can result in infections such as toxoplasmosis and salmonellosis. Ingestion of the food may cause problems in your dog's body and even transmit diseases to you via saliva. Also, the dog cannot eat fried fish. The oil used in frying causes your dog to consume a high amount of fat, which affects its weight and the proper function of its body. Even olive oil should not be substituted for oil when preparing fish. This nutrient is also abundant in fatty acids and contributes to diarrhea and pancreatitis. Ideally, fish should be cooked or baked for your dog. If you do that, you can offer him fish, but remember to remove the pimples so your pet won't get hurt or choke. If you have aquarium fish, ensure your dog doesn't eat them.

Place the fish safely, preventing the dog from reaching them. Can Dogs Like Fish? You can give your dog fish, and that's a great idea. It is a food that provides many health benefits to dogs, including: An excellent source of protein since the fish contains 22 g per 100 g; Omega 3 fatty acids are essential for the proper functioning of the dog's organism; Anti-inflammatory abilities and decreases the possibility of heart disease since it expands arteries and veins; It contains saturated, unsaturated, and trans fatty acids, which contribute to the health of the dog's hair; Compared to certain meats, fish causes fewer food allergies. It is, therefore, advisable to replace meat with fish in more sensitive dogs. Can dogs eat raw fish? It is still controversial whether or not dogs can eat raw fish. However, it is worth taking care of because this can be very dangerous. Fish that is raw can contain bacteria such as salmonella and certain parasites. Parasite contamination is also a concern since some fish contain larvae that develop in the dog's digestive tract. Remember that the fish has pimples, which can cause asphyxiation. Is it healthy to give your dog fish? Smoked, salted, and seasoned fish is not allowed for the dog. It also applies to red meats and chicken. If the fish has any spines, you must remove all the skin as you would prepare it to serve a pup. Pimples can clog your esophagus and even puncture your organs. To avoid any risk, always choose fish that do not have spots. It is recommended to give 12 to 25 grams of fish per kilo. The maximum weight limit for a dog of 10 kg is 250 g if active but 120 g if it does not move too much. Before you give your dog fish, you should consult your vet because it is essential to respect the part. How to Prepare the Fish for Your Dog? It is also required to choose the fish. Fish without pimples is preferable, such as fillets. Cooking fish for a dog must be very well cooked without any seasoning, only in water or roasted. Adding fresh herbs is acceptable, but never add garlic or onions, which are highly toxic to dogs. What Are the Best Fish for Dogs? Since dogs can eat fish, the white hake is one of the best species since it is easy to prepare and has no pimples. It is also possible to give a dog, whiting, or trout. The veterinarian can release salmon into your dog's diet without exaggerating. You need to take care with salmon since it is a very greasy fish, contributing to weight gain. Even though the dog can eat fish and needs no special care, before adding any new food to his diet, consult with a veterinarian. It will give you peace of mind knowing that your dog is in safe hands and you can enjoy all the benefits! You can learn which foods are allowed and prohibited for your dog by visiting. Conclusion This article discusses the nutrition and precautions to be taken when feeding dogs fish. Fish is rich in protein, calcium, taurine, DHA, EPA, and other beneficial nutrients for dogs. It is essential to prevent bone stings, remove them, prevent parasites and vitamin B1 deficiency, and not overeat. Double-check how you give it to your dog and actively incorporate it into his diet. Frequently Asked Questions Dogs can eat what kind of fish? "Dogs should eat tuna, salmon, whitefish, cod, and whiting," says the vet. "Fish is a good source of many nutrients dogs need," the vet explains. And fish doesn't need to be nutritious for canines - they also enjoy the fish flavor. What kind of fish is not advisable for dogs? Fish that are not safe for dogs Tilefish. Shark. Albacore tuna (canned) King mackerel. Swordfish. Is there a fish that is best for dogs? Fish that are safe for canines Small, fatty fish are usually the best, for example, salmon, mackerel, smelt, albacore, anchovies, and sharing. They are all oily fish that are low on the food chain, so they are mercury-free

Can dogs eat boiled fish? Yes. When cooked properly, fish is a fantastic resource of amino acids and Omega 3 fatty acids, which can help a canine's circulatory system, brain, joints, hair, and fur. Can I feed fish to my dog every day? Animals can consume pet-friendly fish every day (mainly if yours is on a fish-based diet).

How to Get a Better Erection

There are a lot of people who dream of better erection though it is not something that can be easily achieved for some of them. Actually, some people consider sex a chore as it does not bring enjoyment for them. The reason for it is inability to achieve the erection. What is interesting is the fact that even those who do not experience any problems getting or keeping an erection, want to have a better erection. They say that it brings them and their partners more satisfaction.

It is widely known that there are different ways to improve the situation with getting a better erection. And in fact it is not so difficult to try these methods.

The first thing you can do to get a better erection is to make sure you eat the proper kinds of food. That means you should try to avoid fat, especially before a sexual encounter. The excess of fat in the body decreases the level of testosterone and leads to drop of libido. Too much fat makes both getting a better erection and ejaculating equally difficult.

It is possible to get a better erection also through avoiding immediate ejaculation. Furthermore, you should remember that you can achieve a better erection by using sexual betterme positions where the man is on the top. In this case the blood will better flow to the very tip of the penis.

A major factor capable of influencing erectile capabilities of men is smoking. Quitting smoking will improve your erectile function, both enhancing it and making you last longer. Smoking is quite harmful for blood vessels and circulation, and these two factors are very important for penile tissues, making them less elastic and less capable of growing and stretching.

On the other hand there is a more effective way positively influencing erections. These are herbal pills. If you want to get a better erection and think about an effective, easy and safe method, choose herbal pills. You will get better erection quicker, your penis will become firmer and an overall sexual intercourse will become a better experience. You will easily get a better erection. Better erection is not the only result of all-natural herbal pills. They can also increase a size and a girth of a man's penis. It becomes longer and larger. The pills can also improve blood circulation.

One more beneficial effect that a person may obtain through using natural penis pills is that his doubts about his sexual performance will be left behind. Another undeniable advantage of herbal penis pills is the fact that they have no harmful side-effects, and taking them men can be sure that no harm will be done their health.

We would like to remind you, though, that you'd better consult the doctor as to the method of achieving a better erection. A person should keep in mind that not every approach provides the identical effects. Actually, several solutions don't even confirm that a person will acquire a better erection. If you want to take herbal penis pills, you must find and take only those which are safe. It's a pity but not all herbal pills are harmless for men's health.

Read the list of ingredients carefully. There can be many popular herbs that increase libido and improve sexual life, but some ingredients are prohibited. Yohimbe is one of these ingredients. Yohimbe is called a stimulating agent, but it is not safe if taken in large amounts. In this case you may experience strong side effects, including increased blood pressure and infarction.

4 Vaping Realities You Really want to Be aware

1.      Vaping is less destructive than smoking, yet at the same, it's as yet undependable.

Vaping is less harmful than smoking, but it’s still not safe. the main problem with vaping is that you can’t tell where your e-cigarette has been. Vaping devices are made to look like cigarettes, but they don’t have the same level of nicotine as actual cigarettes. So if you vape in public and others think you are smoking, there’s a chance that you could be exposing yourself to other people’s secondhand smoke.

And secondhand smoke exposure can cause health problems—like asthma attacks and even cancer—for people who inhale the toxins released by cigarette smoke.

If you want to quit smoking, vaping might not be the best option for you because it doesn't help with withdrawal symptoms or cravings. If you want to quit smoking, talk with your doctor about how quitting can work best for your specific situation!

In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2018, researchers found that e-cigarettes were associated with fewer adverse health outcomes than regular cigarettes, including lower rates of myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke, and lung cancer. In addition to this, they found that e-cigarettes were also less likely to cause respiratory tract infections than traditional cigarettes.

The     research proposes vaping is bad for your heart and lungs.

In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2018, researchers found that e-cigarettes were associated with fewer adverse health outcomes than regular cigarettes, including lower rates of myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke, and lung cancer. In addition to this, they found that e-cigarettes were also less likely to cause respiratory tract infections than traditional cigarettes.

Electronic     cigarettes are similarly basically as habit-forming as traditional ones     and aren’t the best smoking cessation tool.

With traditional cigarettes, you're inhaling tar and other chemicals into your lungs. That can cause lung cancer and heart disease. With e-cigarettes, you're inhaling propylene glycol, water, and nicotine—which can cause lung cancer, heart disease, and other health problems.

The biggest difference between e-cigs and traditional cigarettes is that with e-cigs, there are no toxins or carcinogens in the product. E-cigs don't even contain tobacco! They contain only two ingredients: propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. So while they may give you a nicotine buzz similar to a cigarette, they won't cause any of the health problems that come with traditional cigarettes.

If you're thinking about switching from traditional cigarettes to e-cigs or vice versa, remember that vaping isn't risk-free either way—you could end up with just as many health problems as if you'd continued smoking traditional cigarettes.

The     new generation can't get away from nicotine.

You may not know it, but the new generation is hooked on nicotine. It's everywhere, from the vape pens to the e-cigarettes to the Juul pods—and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

In fact, it's become so prevalent that even the most innocent-looking candy can contain traces of nicotine. And we're not talking about the kind of nicotine that's in a cigarette—we're talking about the kind that is in your medicine cabinet!

So what does this mean for you? Well, if you're a parent looking for ways to keep your kids safe, it means you have a lot of choices. In general, people are much more likely to overdose on prescription medications than on illicit drugs like heroin and cocaine. But if they do overdose on prescription medication, it's often because they've also been using non-prescription drugs like cold medicine or cough syrup (which contain high levels of acetaminophen). And these products are often formulated with nicotine—so if you want to keep your kids safe from smoking-related illness and disease, make sure any medicines they take are free of nicotine!

The good news is that there are ways to break the cycle of nicotine addiction and quit smoking for good: hypnotherapy for smoking cessation, acupuncture for quitting smoking, and even medication-assisted therapies like varenicline (Chantix) or bupropion (Zyban) can help you kick your habit for good.
