Pre-authorization gang! Doesn't matter that I'm regularly prescribed by the same doctor for over 10 years... my insurance wants to double check once a year to make sure it's still "medically necessary". Like yeah, my ADHD might just fucking go away one day. I fucking wish it would ya assholes, but could we not hold my script for 3 extra days, every year, just to "make sure" I'm not cured‽

If only I could use medical cannabis as an adjunct therapy. It helps me tremendously, but my license board won't get on the same page as medical science. If I got prescribed, it would still put my license at risk :(

I've taken Adderall for over a decade now and am still able to stop taking it on a dime. I recently took a 3 month break (because I wasn't working) and was able to instead, lean on my "trusty coping skills" that I learned as a kid.

I have a bit of an addictive personality (still need to quit smoking (again)), but Adderall isn't an issue of addiction for me... just an issue of how much easier it is to function. But I'm ADHD, so I guess it checks out.

Appreciate the source! I never did fully look into it.

If a bomb is what they're worried about, I don't think those soldiers would be standing so close as they "checked" the bodies for a suicide vest

Most people wouldn't know the difference when there's a bucket attached

For skin grafts after burns; the leeches' saliva has anticoagulants that helps blood flow through the microvasculature (tiny blood vessels) of the area. This helps promote growth of new blood vessels, as well as improve the health of the current blood vessels in the area.

TLDR: Helps tiny blood vessels in skin grafts (and other procedures), reduces failure of said skin grafts

Mental health days, needed to take a short trip. PTO is for personal time off; I never even give a reason for why I'm calling-in. I just make sure to give at least a 4-hour heads-up (though the policy is 3 hours before it's considered "unexcused") as a professional courtesy. Other than that, those are my days to use as I see fit.

Now if I have something planned ahead of time, of course I'll let them know way in advance. But sometimes shit pops up and the PTO is mine to use as needed. But that's just how I feel about it

I'd vote to fuck your mom...

Typing that out felt like a physical pang of regression, but I don't take it back

Drunk you is probably overconfident in your own understanding. Personal anecdote though, in reagrd to me solving math problems. I loved being able to finally solve the problem, and it seemed "so simple" after so much time had been spent, mulling it over. And then sober me would realize how wrong I was because of a 'simple' mistake that drunk me made. I loved the "Ureka!" moments, but sober me would usually wreck it the next day

But again, that's my personal experience. Would love to know that's not your own experience. But just a friendly forewarning of "check your work more than twice"

I'm a lie‽

I thought it was funny. Maybe I'm just old or naive and not familiar with this format; but I was amused.

Thank you
