  1. Behold, the DIY stethoscope 🤦‍♂️, a marvel of modern medicine priced cheaper than a cup of coffee ☕. Because who wouldn't trust their heartbeat to a $3 plastic tube spawned from GitHub's endless menu of "innovations"? 😂

  2. #ModernMedicine #SideEffects

    "side effects include... and infection between and around the genitals and anus, both may be fatal"

    FATAL?????

  3. 🚀 Another HARD-HITTING exposé from Planet Money reveals that modern medicine is apparently so advanced that we should all just be cured by now! 🙄 Meanwhile, 14 million Americans didn’t get the memo and continue to abuse the system for a good nap while earning those sweet disability checks. 😴💰

  4. It's Christianity that's ruining my country, Romania, not Fascism. People are sleeping on the hard, cold pavement in front of churches while the priests are telling us to ignore Science and Modern Medicine. That's far more evil than any authoritarian regime.

  5. Been waiting at the 2nd emergency department for 2.5 hours.

    Looks like a de facto diagnosis of "nothing urgent happening" has been made. Patient has paid $300 for this privilege.
    They're getting tired and hungry and are still breathing, conscious and having the spasms.

    Looking suspiciously like large hiccup movements.

    Folk argue about #ModernMedicine.
    I'm more interested in looking at #CommercialisedMedicine.

  6. The problem with modern medicine is that it strives to prolong the already late period of life, when health and strength are already gone, thereby extending the least pleasant part of it. I so want summer not to end. For it to chase after me, following me...

  7. Did you know that during the American Civil War, most of the soldiers on both sides died not from bullets or cannon fire, but from diseases?

    It is difficult to believe, but back then even a small cut could lead to a nasty infection that required one's limb to be amputated.

    Modern Medicine has advanced greatly, but in a lot of places, it is restricted to those who cannot afford health care. That is absolutely inhumane!

  8. So @[email protected] developed it in 2015 and now @[email protected] has developed it in 2024 – that severe allergy to finishing outside the top ten. If they fall to 11th they break out in hives and lurch forward. This should be studied. #ModernMedicine #NASCAR

  9. Considering having platelet rich plasma injections in knee and back since doctor says #surgery won't be helpful. Scared witless of #needles anyone have good turnout stories to share? #prp #ModernMedicine #phobias

  10. #TIL that I really, really really like having ultrasound done to my neck. #ModernMedicine

  11. CW: Shadow Work, Mental Health, & Healing. ❤️

    To a degree, I agree with this image, but I think it goes a lot deeper than that. At no point in our journey do we ever reach a point where we're finished working on ourselves. There's always room to improve, become more #conscious & #SelfAware of not only our good traits but our harmful ones. This doesn't mean let people walk all over you or put up with #abuse. I think many people develop this kind of mentality because of their trauma-based experiences. That people feel their traumatic experiences are what made them the way they are & that's just how it is and always will be. This is a defensive response to protect the part of themselves that was hurt in the past so it doesn't happen again. But this isn't healing, nor is it moving forward.

    Your negative experiences, #trauma, wounds, they don't need to define your #existence. The things you may have experienced in the past that shaped your character of today happened, & it is good that you acknowledge those things & acknowledge the dark side if your being. But the issue lies in getting stuck in that darkness, unpacking & living there, & never #healing from it. If we don't actually heal from it, the hurt, anger, bitterness, distrust, all the negative things we're harbouring inside of us gets reflected towards everyone else, because we are a *mirror* of what's going on in our #InnerWorld.

    Healing is hard, because it requires #vulnerability, #SelfReflection, & recognizing things about yourself that are uncomfortable to admit, such as #toxic #BehavioralPatterns, #MentalHealth issues, #EmotionalIssues, even physical issues. So much of these issues are rooted in our #traumas & #insecurities. I never realized this until I started looking into #ShadowWork, but it's true. So much of these things are connected and stem from roots we never healed from. It can be a #journey in itself trying to remember what the roots are & get through all the layers of our being.

    So I just want to conclude this post with a word of #encouragement to whoever needed to hear this today. You are capable of so much more than you realize. Your wounds happened, they were awful, but you don't need to let them define who you are or who you want to be. Embrace your #shadow, work with your shadow, send love to your shadow, but don't allow it to consume your entire being. You do not need to remain #trapped in this fragment of the #past. You are #worthy & deserving of #MovingForward, & living a life where you feel #happy & at #peace. ❤️ It is 100% possible to get there.

    A few things that have helped me on my own shadow work journey that I'd like to share with you are:

    » #EFT (#EmotionalFreedomTechnique / aka #Tapping). This is a process of tapping on certain #MeridianPoints while repeating #affirmations that address things you're emotionally struggling with. This is a known treatment for #anxiety and #PTSD. This practice helps with #EmotionalRelease, so if you feel you need to cry doing this practice, allow yourself to.

    » #DreamWork. #Dreams are one of the best ways of uncovering what's going on in our inner world & is an incredible tool to get to know yourself on a deeper level. In my experience, my #CordAttachments & unhealed traumas often reveal themselves in dreams, via #dreaming about people, places, or circumstances that have connection to my past or caused me distress. Dreams are often extremely #symbolic & so as you become more observant of what your dreams are, you also need to analyze what certain #symbols in your dreams represent to you on a personal level. It is a very #intuitive process, & sometimes you'll just automatically know what something represents based on the feeling it gives you. Keeping a #DreamJournal is also really important as it will give you the opportunity to go back & reflect more if at first a dream doesn't make sense.

    » Talk to someone you trust. My husband has been my rock through my shadow work journey. He might not have many answers for me, but just having someone to confide in & a shoulder to cry on is such a huge support during the process.

    » Join shadow work #SupportGroups. #Facebook has some really great ones. It's a great way to connect with others who are also working through things. There are also people there who have overcome many of their traumas that can offer resources that got them through theirs. Sometimes just talking about it with these groups will help you put your own puzzle pieces together.

    » #Reiki is another thing that helped me. I highly recommend seeking out a #Naturotherapist in your area who practices this. #Naturotherapy takes into account the mind, body, & SPIRIT, & our #spirit is such an important aspect of ourselves that is often ignored in the world of #ModernMedicine.

    I hope this helps someone on their own healing journey. ❤️ If anyone has any questions about anything I've mentioned here, please don't hesitate to ask and I'm more than happy to answer the best that I can.😊

  16. @mooselwhipes You have to rely on healthy foods to live a healthy life, too, and that is for the rest of your life as well.

    Consider that there is no sharp line delineating medicines and healthy foods. It's more a continuum. Think of a range from fresh vegetables to traditional herbs to synthetic medications.

    It's a matter of choosing to consume what your body needs for your current stage of life.
