Lack of fiber in their small diets.
Also not everyone eats taco bell twice daily.
Try eating once a day and you’ll experience something similar. (Probably not healthy)

Like, otherwise this is just another fucking news site.
It’s annoying because people have opinions including those that create the titles for the news links and more often than not even the medical news is subjected to the weird and shitty clickbait tactics used across the net.
I would also like to express my opinion without having to worry about other people’s fucking feelings (within reason; nothing related to hate) like for fucks sake I understand that some people align a certain direction politically, I don’t hate you, I just don’t agree and think that you might’ve rushed to a conclusion there.
It’s hard to get some dense motherfuckers to expand their reading comprehension skills.

Meh some of my more unhinged comments get downvoted to hell for being “angry”.
Makes me stick to regurgitating facts in the form of fun fact type of stuff.
Apparently some fuckwads here don’t like rage directed at stupid silly people like boomers, pensioners, or a certain political shade of red.

The skin becomes flushed for a different reason. It’s a sort of allergic reaction to the metabolism of alcohol that results in toxic acetaldehyde. Usually we have aldehyde dehydrogenase to rid the body of acetaldehyde but some people are lacking normal amounts of enzyme.

I’m about to be one of the aforementioned. Almost done with the clinical rotation part. You guys are pretty much on point. Also when you’re drunk you’re much more likely to have hit yourself harder and sloppier than initially thought. More damage might result in a messy wound vs an anticipated accident.

:( I’m burnt out. It’s over. Soon I won’t have time for these rants that are fueled by the absolute lack of real meaning.
I feel like a crazy yelling into the void. I mean, I am but…
I really wish I had managed to convince at least one person to actually do something locally, instead I alienated myself from my friends and family.
Here’s hoping that soon there is a reactionary revolutionist that is born under the right circumstances to enact real change.
- Comment on Good news, everyone! We temporarily stopped the orphan crushing machine! 10 months ago:
Maaaaaaaan.
I don’t know what we’re waiting for. Who the fuck are we waiting on? A YouTube video essay? Some podcast rant?
It’s apparent that not even legal confirmation on how the world is owned by the few was enough.
No single politician can change a system where everyone is financially inclined to fuck over everyone else.
Why are faceless corporations running our cities and towns? Why are we okay with it?
More importantly why aren’t we enraged that they stole our future from us?

I mean, I don’t think it’s too much of the people’s fault that greedy corporate burger chains exist and obliterate local competition.
$6.50 for a shitty “meal”
Or
$18.99 for a “handmade” burger and some fries with a small coke.
At this point we all agree that McDonald’s doesn’t have some secret ingredient that makes people love it. It’s the only thing to enjoy and you’ll like it.

- Comment on YSK: Do You Really Need That Antibiotic? It’s antibiotic season. Brush up on how you should use them — and when to avoid them. (NYT, Dec 2023) 11 months ago:
Well… here’s my advice. Bring it up to them if you feel they didn’t remember.
I guarantee the pharmacy is also tearing a new one into the doctor for not following guidelines. (If that’s the case) Some pharmacists will outright deny the prescription until either the doctor changes it to what is needed, or another pharmacist is pressured into doing as the doctor says. This has a paper trail. All decisions do.
Medicine is so complicated because there are soooo many things that can be wrong. Usually we get over that by creating specialty care:
Usually, doctors at hospitals are dedicated to a single specific thing. ICU-Trauma, infectious disease, dialysis, diabetes. And they have a team that is also part of that specialty care, pharmacists, nurses, technicians that are all familiar with the specialty.
If an ICU doctor realizes that there is an infection going on, the Infectious Disease team will work on it alongside with the doctor that will treat the trauma as 2+ heads are always better than one.
At the end of the day, your doctor will have to go with what’s better because he has a team dedicated to knowing the exact specifics of all antibiotics and therapies.
As for outpatient treatment, the pharmacy will not fill anything that looks out of the norm before getting some sort of reasoning from the doctor.
Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions when you’re under someone’s care. I’m sure you’ll get an eye roll but shorter durations ARE important, sometimes.
Infectious Disease takes years of mastery, I am nowhere near that, just the basics.

Look man, I gave the link a good and thorough read. Leave the hate at the door. I already said it’s good research, it’s just kind of all over the place.
What that link is saying is already in practice. If it’s a viral infection you won’t get antibiotics, if it’s a clean procedure you probably won’t get antibiotics for more than a day.
That’s already in practice. Because studies show antibiotics are probably not the most important in those select very few cases. Those are good practice methods and are part of IDSA guidelines.
What is not in practice, and what I feel is the main point of confusion here, is that everyone should take shorter courses.
Nope absolutely not. If your doctor says take it for x days then you do it because they already went through the protocol and have deemed X days to be the best course of action. Your doctors will let you know if you are a prime candidate for a shorter duration of therapy, they’ll do all the research for you because they will not risk your death by having your disease state possibly recur and in a more aggressive manner.
Telling everyone that everything should be shorter will only confuse patients. I promise that if you are a prime candidate for a shorter duration, your doctor will know, and will give you the appropriate course of treatment.
Another thing is this quote from the link you provided
“Antifungals also do collateral damage: Disruption of Intestinal Fungi Leads to Increased Severity of Inflammatory Disease …cornell.edu/…/disruption-of-intestinal-fungi-lea…. Immunological Consequences of Intestinal Fungal Dysbiosis (2016).
Long-term impact of oral vancomycin, ciprofloxacin and metronidazole on the gut microbiota in healthy humans (Nov 2018)”
It goes on to mention antifungals and then talks about different drugs not related to antifungals but that are instead used as additional therapy for when the exact cause is unknown. I was thinking it would mention AmphotericinB, Voriconazole, Itraconazole, Micafungin etc.
It just seems to be all over the place and is not a great source to base medical decisions off of. I’m sorry.

I’m letting you know that those links are all to small journals. Good luck getting huge corporations to follow that advice versus tried and true advice. I rather a patient live than risk the infection returning and killing them.
It’s not invalid but until IDSA adopts any of that… it’s not medical advice for anyone, just research.

That is not a website doctors look at. Medical procedures are formed and approved through NIH articles with vast testing pools across many geographical areas.
If you would like more info, please look up the IDSA guidelines

I’m considering this to be harmful information.
When you wipe out all of your microbiome, chances are it returns to normal in the following months after antibiotic treatment.
Your doctor will know if you need antibiotics because there is a positive test for a bacterial infection.
You have to take the full course to prevent resistance from forming. Resistance will form, no matter what, if you don’t fully eradicate the foreign organism. Studies are conducted to find out what the best course duration is in order to completely eradicate the organism. (STOP-IT trial for Intra Abdominal Infections suggest 4/5 days vs 10 day norm to be effective)
That is something you don’t want to happen because then you have to use stronger antibiotics which will absolutely do more than make your tummy hurt. (Ouch my kidneys)
The only medical indication for a FMT is a C.diff infection that is recurring. This means your microbiome has been wiped and replaced with C. Difficile. A bug that causes severe diarrhea.
If you let resistance flourish, then every single time someone needs to take an antibiotic it will be even more likely they develop a C. Diff infection due to the microbiota being wiped even harder. Resistance will become even more common due to the least harmful antibiotics not being available for use.
If you prevent resistance you prevent the use of harder antibiotics which prevents microbiome damage which prevents c. diff.
