Ok. I’m also not crazy.
I do. I also have a PhD from a medical school. That’s why I know if eating less milk were the best solution for this individual, they would have said that.
Managing parents’ anxieties is a major part of being a pediatrician. You don’t suggest things that might scare parents when they are not necessary.
Be nice.
Jesus Christ. Just be nice.
Why is no one on Lemmy nice.
My bologna has a first name…

The doctor is unable to stop them from their behavior.
Imagine yourself as a doctor. The patient has the plague. You say, “Take this antibiotic. It will go away.” They say, “We prefer quarantine and chicken noodle soup”.
Do you say ok? Or do you admonish them and risk they get angry and do nothing? Or do you say, that is better than nothing. It is their body.
The only ethical behavior for a physician in this situation is to say, “sure, try dietary modifications”.
They were trying to prevent long term brain development issues by resolving the anemia the fastest evidence-based way, but the patient refused expert advice.
That is what I said. The doctor would only have suggested meds if it were necessary.
You should change your thought process and listen to the experts.
They also would have recommended dietary changes if they actually were applicable. It is this kind of belief that leads to increased harm and is solely the reason why so many children are being harmed and killed by extremely preventable causes.
I’m not accusing you of being someone as heinous as an antivaxxer, but this is the thought process that leads people down that path.
This specific thing? Or just an iron chunk of some type?
The reason I know about this is the social aspect of trying to get people with endemic iron deficiency to use a supplement. If you’re from the more industrialized would, I’d figure you’d take supplements that, while more expensive, may or may not be more effective.
Certainly makes sense.
Not necessarily licking (I mean, if you do it enough…), but this is a thing
Cool story with interesting social, cultural, and scientific interactions.
It may have been discredited outside of simple iron deficiency since I last read about it, but dietary studies on humans are notoriously difficult to do.
I’ve lived in my area in zone 7b since 2002 (old scale). That’s single digits ~ half of years.
It hasn’t gotten that cold since I’ve moved here.
If anyone of a sufficient age denies climate change, I think they’re delusional.
This is not something that can only be determined through sensitive statistics. It’s affecting our day to day lives.

Anyway. Show it here.
I’ll take a look.
So, I can’t imagine a workplace where you would share a x-ray/ultrasound/CT/mr/PET, where you’d invite people to see it, and the people who showed up could get you in trouble with HR.
Just ask.
There’s nothing prurient about it unless you have weird motives.
It’s like showing Netter. One of the classic human anatomy books.
If you do anyone remotely scientific, there should be no problem.
Just be aware, the camera may add ten pounds. The CT scanner seems to add a lot more.

I’m glad you asked. Mind if I ask you how old are you, and where are you from?
It’s just modeling humans. I was only a lab TA for two semesters, and I caught so many fake data sets.
