We have universal health care, though it is severely underfunded, and the government is trying to privatize it.
Deeply fucked priorities it is indeed.
The wait times for ambulances are horrific, last month there were 3 stories of an ambulance arriving more than 2 hours later only to pickup a corpse.
We tend to avoid them at night, because night fares are expensive and there are safety concerns for women (sexism is so fun 🤬). But, in an emergency they are an option we would consider.
It would probably be around 30mins because there is no bike infrastructure and I would have to avoid the highway.
Though as others have said during an attack walking such a long distance or biking is not an option.
Also, ebikes like Lime are not an option here.
It has been a rough journey for her, lots of conflicting diagnosis and treatments. It's really hard to get reliable medical advice for that.
Right now she is using aerolin, mostly because it kinda helps and it's cheap. But, we are looking for a doctor we can trust.
Thanks for your concern and kind words ❤️
I cannot focus long enough for meditation, do you have an app that works for you? Any insights for someone trying to get into meditation while having ADHD?
I occasionally start reading a book, but either I get too into it and stay sleepless until it's finished, or I get bored, drop it and then feel guilty for not reading. Overall, it kinda works for me but it's not sustainable for me.
Insomnia sucks, I think I have a longer circadian rhythm (many people with ADHD do) which sucks when you try to maintain a routine. But, having severe insomnia, I cannot imagine what you are going through...
I liked the colour book idea, I will give it a try, I always thought these are for children but fuck standards, maybe it works for me too. 🙏
The company’s DVD subscription service is ending this month, bringing to a close an origin story that ultimately upended the entertainment industry.
Despite the reduced staff, this operation still receives and sends some 50,000 discs a week with titles ranging from the popular (“Avatar: The Way of Water” and “The Fabelmans”) to the obscure (the 1998 Catherine Deneuve crime thriller, “Place Vendôme”). Each of the employees at the Anaheim facility has been with the company for more than a decade, some as long as 18 years. (One hundred people at Netflix still work on the DVD side of the business, though most will soon be leaving the company.)
Russel Barkley has a few videos on emotional self regulation.
I know microsoft bad
I second that, big corp bad
I sometimes make arbitrary choices.
For this case yes, but there is a night schedule for pharmacies for a reason.
Emergencies occur during the night, and avoiding escalation when it's not necessary removes the burden from the health care services.
