Israel sends medical experts to North Macedonia after nightclub fire – Israel News https://www.byteseu.com/?p=837520 #Death #Fire #Israel #Macedonia #Medical
Stephanie, my trusted & excellent orthotist at Fisher Building, fixed both of my leg braces today. This is the left AFO - added foot cushioning & two new straps were put on to replace older ones that weren't holding up. My right AFO had specialty heel airhole cushioning & back of ankle padding added & I had her replace the top thigh strap too.
She has put in a funding assistance form for one specialty brace for my lower left leg to deal with some floppy foot & pain related issues when I try to sleep. Hopefully I get full funding assistance because orthotics are hella expensive to pay out of pocket for.

#SCOTUS will hear a #FirstAmendment challenge to a #Colorado #law banning professional #counseling services engaged in #ConversionTherapy intended to change a minor’s #gender identity or #sexual orientation.
>20 states have similar laws, which are supported by leading #medical groups. Kaley Chiles, a licensed counselor, challenged the constitutionality of the Colorado law in federal court, saying it violated her rights to free speech & the free exercise of #religion.

TLDR: Antivaxxers are misinformed, defensive & contagious.
#TX school celebrates -> 14% <- #vaxx rate, not far from a #measles outbreak. The school PASTOR identifies/brags the school name and location. Then blames someone ELSE for that.

"The 61-year-old Anaheim resident cares for her adult daughter, who is blind, and for her sister, a military veteran with severe post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health conditions. Medi-Cal, the state’s version of Medicaid, pays Williams to care for them, and she relies on that income, just as her sister and daughter depend on her."

#California #Medicaid #MediCal
When I finally was able to reach my #AlamedaCounty case manager to get my Medi-Cal restored, they said it was a mistake.
The reason given was I bought food with #EBT from Whole Foods, which is Amazon, which is in Seattle, WA ― so I must be living in Washington.
By that logic, since Safeway is an Albertsons Company, then they should have assumed I moved to Boise, fucking Idaho ― ten damn years ago!
Also, all my Medi-Cal bills are here in Alameda County.
Then they repeated every one of Trump's lies about massive fraud in Medicaid and Medicare.
Living in California doesn't mean you are safe as some believe.
“For 2 years, I’ve seen firsthand how our state’s #AbortionBan has harmed my patients, with countless lives & futures changed because politicians thought their views of the right #healthcare was more important than #pregnant people & their #medical providers,” Dr. Eric M Reuss, one of the healthcare providers who brought the lawsuit over #Arizona’s 15-week ban, said in a statement.
Now, activists say, the #USAID cuts have put them at even greater risk, with shelters underfunded, hundreds of individuals unemployed & many more facing #discrimination & #violence. Vital #medical supplies remain scarce, while members of #LGBTQ groups increasingly report feeling depressed or suicidal.

Can't be serious all the time. A little #medical joke.
Okay, now #trump is claiming to be tackling #toxic #chemical exposure & heralding #RFKJr as the #health secy. This will be very difficult for me to watch. #Liar.
Holy shit, he’s claiming a kid received #transition #medical procedures at school during the school day. Literally impossible.
He says #transgender care is mutilation.
Accompanied my Mom to doctor's appointment this morning. This was mainly for getting another prescription for her recurring gout issue. She got a physical checkup too. Her doctor & his MOA were masked up. None of the other medical clinic staff & no other patients were masked.
Location of masking report: Burnside Medical Clinic - office in lower part of building - there's a different office with same name on main level.
Just had my day-after-cataract-surgery follow-up 5-minute visit with the ophthalmologist and all's fine.
I used a new-to-me driver service (a local one-man operation) to go to that appointment. The driver and the service were great, but it was my first time in a Tesla and I wasn't thrilled about that part of things.
