Queue that headline from 6 months ago, "Most Young Men Are Single. Most Young Women Are Not." Hmmm I wonder who the women are dating? 😏

Sure, but insurance companies regularly deny claims for any reason they can find.

I somehow doubt elective, experimental electronic implants are classified as a "pre-existing condition."

Others have speculated that she may have been denied health insurance coverage unless she had it removed. That's not much of a choice when you're an old disabled woman.

I wanna be a Mariner, but I'm totally a Tendi.

That makes sense. You're definitely not alone in feeling like it's getting bad. Like, it's insane to me that conservative boomers are getting old and having health complications and still don't want universal healthcare. They'll vote against their best interests every time.

I hope you find support and understanding within your community, even if it's not within your immediate family.

Even if her death is guaranteed by leaving it in (and I'm not sure it is without more information), does that make it ethical to remove? Perhaps the patient would prefer a shorter life with greater quality in regards to her seizures. After all, don't we allow and accept cancer patients to forgo treatment and enjoy the time they have left?

Health and housing are pretty important for survival, so it's kinda understandable that you're stressed out. Care to go into specifics? Why do you feel like you can't express yourself?

I'm guessing the patients were required beforehand to sign forms consenting to the device being taken out in the event of ___________ (in this case, the company going under). Because otherwise I don't understand how it'd be legal to force someone to have brain surgery against their will.

But if the company can't continue maintenance and support for the device, why not have her sign new forms exempting them from liability and just let her keep it? Is potential liability not the only limiting factor here? And would this be ethical?

I thought BotW was quite like the original, with how open and non-linear it is.

The wonderful world of retail! 😂 But hopefully it'll help me get back to where I want to be, which is going back to school to finish my bachelor's in medical laboratory science.
