I still wonder if they tanked it on purpose. Hanlon’s razor and all that, but it’s just weird how many left-leaning social media sites get bought by right-wing assholes who immediately piledrive it into the ground against all capitalistic reason.
Major moral panic about trans people leading to violence, institutionalized discrimination and death = no reason?
If you don’t get bullied for your name, you’ll just get bullied for something else. At least with the name you can blame it on your parents, maybe. Kids are assholes.
Okay, but Raddix Zephyr and Leviathan are fucking cool names. Sigurd Felix Wolfgang Atreides could be if you split it among like, two kids instead of one.
I think the main thing is that
It’s never going to replace a nurse or doctor completely (someone has to listen to you breathe deeply and bonk your knee).
is a much bigger deal than it seems. There’s just so many little things that you gain from a physical examination that would be lost through the cracks otherwise. Lots of people get major diagnoses from routine lymph node checks or abdominal palpitations. Or the patient stands up to leave, winces, the doctor goes “You okay?” and the patient suddenly remembers “Oh yeah, my dog knocked me over and my leg has been hurting for three weeks and it pops when I put weight on it”.
We’re physical beings, and taking care of our physical forms requires physical care, not a digital approximation of it. I definitely agree telemedicine has a place especially in the spots you identified, but they can’t replace a yearly physical exam without degradation of care.
All I’m hearing is “So that means my character has to jack-o pose all the time!”
