US visa refusal for Palestinian delegation prompts calls to move UN meeting to Geneva

  • League of Nations was bold from time to time. That didnt help. The UN, the security council and the veto rights is all about maintaining the status quo.

  • They could have used Google translate for these short last minute additions, and not a single fuck would probably notice. I hate this stupid overconfidence in AI.

  • Acktually – IgE(/antibodies) are bound to the surface of mast cells. Antigens/allergens bind to the IgE receptor and actives the mast cell, releasing histamines. Allergy can actually be treated with anti-IgE (monoclonal) antibodies (Omalizumab)!

  • Flight crew are seated next to emergency exits during landing, they would occupy all crew seats except for any in a crew rest area (which is reached by ladder).

    It's a dead body, it won't harass you. They might get rigor mortis but decomposition won't have time to start. Passengers comfort is last priority while balancing a metal tube going 900 km/h though the stratosphere. Some compensation can be arranged when back on the ground.

  • Cause flight crew are seated next to emergency exits for a reason. Safety > inconvenience

  • PSA sucks, it has both low sensitivity and low specificity.

  • Omfg, don't get a PET-scan 'just because'. You would literally have to be injected with radioactive particles. The other stuff, while not necessary, will atleast not kill you faster.

    Last paragraph is also massively oversimplified. Getting a 'you have cancer'-speech and treatment for a superslow growing prostatecancer will fuck with your mind and body more than the cancer itself. That's why most health care systems advise against general PSA screening.

    • People need to remember this.

  • It's a valid strategy to ask the patient to recap what brings them to the clinic. It's very common to hear a different story from the one in the booking system or in the medical history. I'm not sure about the system were you live but medical history often takes waaaaaaaaaay more than 2 min to read up on. Maybe the last visit was recorded and had yet to been transcribed? Those can be a pain to listen to. It feels very reasonable that the doctor didn't have time to read up on your history if they were covering for a sick/unavailable colleague.

    I would 100% prefer a doctor that is upfront about not knowing my medical history over a (more commonly occurring) dumbass pretenting to know it.

    It's regrettable that your doctor made you feel neglected. Fault them for that, not the questions.

    Edit: *recorded as in dictated!
