I just asked my PCP if I can get the BCG vaxx. Figure even if it doesn't help me at all at least it'll make my employers spring for a cxr every so often
I’m losing my freaking mind. RFK JR??? Defunding Medicaid? Defunding NIH? Community health centers? wtf are we doing? Are we trying to be a third world nation?
Thought I’d have to marry someone to get EU citizenship, just had to wait for the new world super power in science to start brain draining, nature is healing 🥲
One third of my dept is out on FMLA w/ serious injuries/illnesses. Our director won’t approve cash incentives for picking up extra. When our mgr tried to give us cafeteria coupons instead, the director took away every coupon in our dept. So now we can’t even get free cafeteria pizza. DARK TIMES.
