If you are at a 7 or 8 on the regular you've got bigger problems than dehydration. That's liver or kidney failure territory.

I thought both the sound and the letters were referred to as phonetics. Now I'm interested in what other answers are.
Grippy socks are standard issue for all in-patients in most US hospitals because they prevent falls and the floor is nasty. Seriously please wear them during your stay.
I have a cow cat with one big black spot on the top of his head and on big one on his back. He's a very big boy who looks rather imposing but he's really sweet. We call him Kenny or Kenny-chan but his real name is Kenpachi (from Bleach). Coincidentally he lost an eye to cancer over a year ago so he looks even more like his namesake now.
For the general public it is because of social conditioning through various means such as society and religion. In truth the powers that be such as social and religious leaders push this concept of "sex is bad" as a means of control. It's all about control. The easiest way to brainwash a bunch of people into doing your bidding is to keep them isolated and frustrated.
My African grey Bert constantly surprises me with his intelligence. My personal favorite was the time he was trying to get the cat's attention. He'd been muttering, whistling, and dancing in the cat's direction for about 15 minutes and finally yelled "Why don't you f-ing talk?" I don't think he believed me when I told him the cat can't talk.
Got Hardspace: Shipbreaker on sale the other day on Steam and been pleasantly surprised with it. Sometimes I'll blow the ship up for giggles and restart.
Theranos went down because Holmes was trying to run the same tired start-up scam all the big boys pull but within the confines of the medical industry. She would have succeeded if she had picked something non medical. The FDA doesn't fuck around. If Elon thinks he's smart enough to pull the same shit he's going to "find out" too.
The fact that they staged the patient being on life support to hide obvious medical malpractice is beyond words. The psychological trauma to the family is horrible. How could you even justify putting that type of guilt on others to hide your own misdeeds is beyond me. There has better be some revoking of medical licenses happening after this case.
No they just actively decide not to pay for them which in America is basically the same as a denial of treatment. When people have to decide between paying for healthcare, meds, or food and shelter we have a problem.
My dog is allergic to the rabies shot but her vet gives it to her in two doses and we load her up on benedryl before the shot. And I do the same for a few of my own vaccines due to my own allergies. The work around isn't perfect but I'm glad to have options. Some vaccines are just worth the risk.
