Besides what studies like these say, even if Doctors know about it, they have to weigh the risks with what is more important. Your PCOS treatment is priority because that can lead to other issues itself.

Look at PPIs as an example. A lot of PPIs (think Nexium for GERD) can lead to stomach cancers. But, if untreated, GERD can lead to esophageal cancer

Not sure. there's nobody in my family with a genetic predisposition with breast cancer. But my mother had been on Premarin after an early hysterectomy at 29 and she was diagnosed with breast cancer at 57. The researchers at the university hospital where her surgeons are (University of Penn) had made the link from the premarin to her cancer.

You know....

for as much as people HATE potholes for fucking up our cars, maybe this is exactly what needs to be placed there. Strategically placed holes that are of a certain size so that if cars try to run through, their tires fall in and they get stuck

Any size from anywhere can carry salmonella, even healthy turtles

he's got a gun in his waistband on a dirtbike. How does one jump hills on a dirtbike with a gun strapped in their waist?

yeah, this whole story ruins part of that fantasy for them

I've worked with a few in practice and clinical who did still prefer "Dr" even at the casinos for work parties. Some of them can be pompous (even while taking off their wedding bands to drunkenly flirt with whoever they can)

I find that in hospital/work settings, it's professional to do that. Refer to them as DR, same as you would in school with Dr or Professor. But outside of work, at functions or happy hours, the person would be a real dick if they still made you call them Dr when you're not on the clock

yeah I spent a lot of years being a "bad kid" but compared to this, I was an angel. My bad kid days were spent cutting school, smoking pot, and drinking beers in the woods. I never destroyed property because I was terrified of being on the receiving end of a whoopin from my parents, which if I think about it, was far worse than being in jail

It 100% reminded me of back in the day Fat Tuesday and the Freaknik on South St back in the 90s

I hear ya. But some of these people don't have any idea where they're going ahead if time for their community service if they're coming right from jail. My aunt lives in jersey on the river and twice a year, guys in their orange jumpsuits come to clear out lots of old wood and trash along the river. They're chaperoned by a bunch o gun carrying cops and I've been there when they're over there doing it. They get a gorgeous day outside and they look at the water and they clean up the area. They're usually there for 10 hours. They get breaks. They do a gorgeous job, and they're very kind if folks walk by and greet them. I'm of the mindset that yes, there are some people out there who are not in any way fit for society for whatever reason, but I also know that *some* violent offenders could have just fucked up badly due to circumstance. I believe a lot can come from rehabilitating people.

These kids are buying cases of michelob from the beer distributors and having house parties. Highly doubtful they were at the bars

If I ever found myself in that position and given the choice, I would pick up trash along a highway before I sat in a jail

agreed. gotta at least acknowledge when someone holds themselves accountable.

I say it every day

ah man, it's the twisted teas that gives them away. I guess Temple is the furthest "into the city" the NE folks will go. Most of my family is in the NE and when you so much as mention dinner in the city, they act like you suggested Manhattan

I'd agree with northeast Philly IF folks from northeast Philly ever wanted to leave the northeast

I've been in a neighborhood in Arkansas that reminded me of Croydon. And I've been in a neighborhood in Alabama that reminded me of South Jersey

>but doing 200 hours of community service? Or what? They get put in jail?

YES. You don't go trashing a city, flipping cars that people use their hard earned money to buy so that they can go to work and school, destroying the streets with trash, piss, shit, and vomit, beer cans, bottles, etc... and just get yelled at by a judge and fined. You make people regret what they did by having them CLEAN UP THEIR MESS OR GO TO JAIL. If they don't like it, then they should not have done it.

It really is. I also feel that way a little about some of the bucks county area along the delaware, like bristol and croydon (my apologies to bristol and croydon for saying that)

cleaning up the mess you made isn't slavery (and tossing around the word "slavery" to describe normal tasks really minimizes how horrific slavery was/is)

I think everyone's punishment should be community service of cleaning up this city on top of whatever else they're given

"'I think the bottom line is more books, less booze," Krasner said.'"

ok thanks, lawrence

yeah it's always the kids from the burbs not knowing how to act here- and then they're the first ones to talk shit about how terrible philadelphia is
