Dr Hilary Cass says the issue of puberty blockers has become "almost totemic".

Needless to say, there is no evidence that SSRIs treat gender dysphoria in minors. But if you watch the video, she calls these treatments "evidenced-based".

so what did she mean by this?

Presumably, she means there is evidence they treat depression. Which would only be relevant if one believed gender dysphoria was not a real diagnosis.

Any credibility she or the NHS may have had on the international stage after releasing the embarrassing Cass report is completely shot.

Of course, that won't stop the Bongs from torturing their own kind for amusement, a Bongish pastime that they never grow tired of. What silly rules and regulations will they think of next?

Why does the Retaurdian have mostly news about Trump? Is it run by the State Department radio free Europe style? It's Bongs' worst rag, worse than the Daily Mail by far.

In a medical anomaly that has stunned both medical professionals and the public alike, doctors have discovered a dead worm in the brain of Brianna Wu, a prominent software engineer and political activist.

Wu, known for her work in the tech industry and her advocacy on issues related to online harassment, sought medical attention after experiencing a series of unusual neurological symptoms. These symptoms included severe headaches, confusion, and seizures. Initial tests, including MRI and CT scans, failed to reveal the underlying cause of her distress.

The breakthrough came during an exploratory surgery performed by a team of neurosurgeons at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Samantha Hayes, the lead neurosurgeon on the case, described the discovery as "unprecedented and astonishing."

"We were not expecting to find a parasitic infection, especially not a worm," Dr. Hayes said in a press conference. "This is an extremely rare occurrence, and it underscores the importance of thorough investigation when patients present with unexplained neurological symptoms."

The worm, identified as a larval stage of Taenia solium, commonly known as the pork tapeworm, is known to cause a condition called neurocysticercosis. This parasitic infection occurs when the larvae invade the brain, leading to a variety of neurological issues. While neurocysticercosis is more common in regions with poor sanitation and where pork is a dietary staple, it is exceedingly rare in the United States.

Wu's case has sparked concern and curiosity within the medical community. Dr. Margaret Chin, an infectious disease specialist, explained the potential pathways for such an infection. "In rare cases, individuals can ingest the eggs of the tapeworm through contaminated food or water. These eggs then travel through the bloodstream and can lodge in various tissues, including the brain," Dr. Chin noted.

Following the surgery, Wu is reported to be in stable condition and recovering well. In a statement released through her spokesperson, she expressed gratitude for the medical team's expertise and the support she has received from her family and friends. "This has been a harrowing experience, but I am relieved to be on the path to recovery," Wu said. "I hope that my case can raise awareness about the importance of seeking medical attention for persistent and unexplained health issues."

The discovery has also prompted discussions about public health and the need for vigilance in food safety practices. Experts emphasize that while such infections are rare, proper hygiene and food preparation methods are crucial in preventing parasitic diseases.

As Brianna Wu continues her recovery, her experience serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of medical science and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of extraordinary challenges.

My grandmother died three months ago in a very strange, almost suicidal way. She had been living in a cabin in Florida with no air-conditioning or kitchen, and what little she did have she'd spend it on alcohol. After ignoring her medical problems for months, it finally turned into sepsis and overwhelmed her immune systems. We were told by some affirmative action hire doctor that we had six months, then the week after she had a month. On Monday, we were told it may happen next week, Wednesday we were told she needed hospice care. That following Sunday morning she was dead. It was strange to see someone who had raised me die scared.

When the hospice nurse came in on the preceding Monday, and asked what was going to happen, it had me floored. The almost profane innuendo of whether my grandmother was ready to die or whether we were going to pay for a risky treatment was insane. When my grandmother looked at me, tired and scared, I had to walk out, and I regret that profoundly. We as a family asked for more time, and we were told we could wait till noon. My mother came out and asked me to sit with my grandmother, and oddly lucid she said she was ready. I don't think she meant it, but I think she wanted to be tough in front of me as best as she could.

I think about her every day.

I am grateful for my grandfather, who reads the Bible with me and is a spiritual guide. I am grateful that my last words were said out of love. I'm grateful I got to blow her a kiss when I last saw her. I pray for her, and I pray I get to see her again. I hope that wherever she is, she is happy, and resting.

I tried to redo the outline to make it more squiggly in places.

I am based and jail pilled.
