Unearth the #Cairo Toe! 🦶 Dating back to 950-710 BCE, this wooden prosthetic toe from ancient #Egypt, now in the British Museum, reflects remarkable innovation. More than art, it's functional, enhancing mobility. A testament to resilience through the ages.

Had total hip replacement 3 days ago, came out for a walk on a nice day and decided to drop into my local. Crutches for 6 weeks with very limited weight bearing is such a hassle tho.

8 days until my #surgery #consultation. This is the closest I have been to realizing my #dream of being completely my #true #self.

There is an unknown hazard of life coaching:

Half your friends are life coaches
And they have awesome offerings
And you want to take them all to support your friends
But you also know you have a tendency to be busy learning, learning, learning
So you can avoid doing, doing, doing your own work

Ummm... Medical #gender transitioning for #minors isn't a thing. #Children are not receiving gender modification #surgery. #GenderAffirmingCare for minors is limited to #therapy and #hormone #treatment for some individuals. Again, if the #facts were on the right's side, why would they have to #lie?

@VerranDeborah what an interesting study and finding. I don't think this can be ascribed to better skill at the surgery itself (though i guess it could be) but I wonder about women creating a better & safer environment for the patient.

thanks for sharing

This Labor Day weekend, break your addiction to multitasking.

“This explains the attraction of multitasking: It offers the false promise that we might somehow slip the bonds of our finitude. We tell ourselves that with sufficient self-discipline, plus the right time-management tricks, we might finally get on top of everything and feel good about ourselves at last. ”

Doctors Ghost Patients, Charge for Surgeries Left to Residents

Concurrent surgery and double-billing have been going on for years, doctors and researchers say, but court rulings and settlements involving Massachusetts General Hospital elevated the issue while providing a blueprint for current cases. Now, whistleblower lawsuits alleging fraud far more rampant—with even greater danger to patients—are playing out around the country.

Female surgeons better outcomes?

In a study of 1 million patients, those treated by a female surgeon were less likely to die, be readmitted or have a major medical issue at 90 days or 1 yr post surgery compared to male surgeons.

I don't know that this is hilarious, but my experience:

In my early 20s, I had to have oral surgery to remove a tumor (really, essentially just an extra tooth forming randomly in my upper jaw).

It seemed they gave me laughing gas first for some reaon. As I inhaled it, I remember thinking, "This is an interesting experience." I've been known to chuckle at the absurd nature of normal life, and I think my laughing at the gas felt like a similar mindset.

I had #ffs on Tuesday and things are going great so far. I had really psyched myself out to an almost paralyzing level, but it turns out that while recovery sucks, it passes really quickly. I've got a lot of bruising on my neck due to the jaw work which will hopefully fade over the next week, and I have to wear the full head wrap until Tuesday when the stitches and staples come out at the recheck. I can't wait to see the results!! #trans #surgery

I've got a friend who will drive me home from the cataract surgery next Friday. That's a load off my mind!

I've also told the De Anza Flea Market that I won't be attending in early September. I won't be allowed to lift stuff or bend down. So it's just safer not to.

Have any of you had cataract surgery? Any tips? #cataract #surgery #eyeSurgery
