The recommendation here in Denmark is to air out for ~10 minutes, 3 times a day, ideally with all doors and windows open, making sure to get good airflow between rooms.
I think very few people actually air out that much, but I've found that it's very helpful for my sleep quality to air out just before I go to bed. Airing out in the morning also helps eliminate moisture from showering, as my bathroom doesn't have a window, nor any forced ventilation.
In my bedroom I can feel the morning dew in my lungs. I've been wondering if it is bad. Could be lead as well, it's an old house, but I don't think I would be able to feel it.
I really hate that if I start looking for bdsm stuff on Amazon I start having bdsm related ads everywhere. It's really uncomfortable when friends are shoulder surfing.
I don't know if this will help in your specific case, but Amazon has an advertising preferences section in your account settings, where you can opt to "Do not show me interest-based ads provided by Amazon".
You have no idea about what it is to be a doctor and you are just reacting to one sided story.
On the other hand it’s ressonable as a patient not to care what it’s like being a doctor, your job as the patient is to be honest, give complete answers, and advocate for yourself. I’m not interested in a public policy perspective as dictated by the realities of insurance company profit, hospital profit, pharmaceutical company and medical device company profit, and so on.
It’s the same thing with letting an intern take their turn with the scalpal. If it’s someone I care about under the knife, I’m making sure the surgeon got enough sleep and no intern or first year resident who’s half asleep touches the person I care about. Arguments that “they have to learn somehow” are reasonable, but so is my reaction that it’s your problem, not mine. I don’t care about how you’re educated, or your burdens except as they impact results.
Life is unfair, utilitarian calculations must be made, but that sets up an adversarial relationship on one level, and only a fool ignores that. You feel free to fight for public policy, I’m fighting for the people I care about, not their doctors. That’s also part of life being unfair.
The problem with this is when what you think you're fighting for and what you're actually fighting for don't align.
I've encountered patient advocacy groups who are actively, and passionately, pushing for the wrong thing, that while emotively satisfying, will not help the problem they're trying to solve.
Sure, it’s hard to get right, and patient advocacy groups in particular can be wildly off target. By advocacy I mean one-on-one, for someone you actually have a connection to, and limited to issues you can reasonably understand. For some people that will be issues of comfort and other basics, for some it might have a more clinical element. Advocacy can be as simple as checking on an elderly relative to make sure they’re being cared for properly, checking a doctor’s background, or even getting another opinion from another doctor. In extremes it can mean diagnosis on your own, which you then verify with a doctor.
In that last vein, I’ve been in that position. A girlfriend from years ago had a nasty rash on her arm, and a series of dermatologists gave her a series of exams and creams. I did some research and concluded that it was probably an allergic reaction. I talked to her latest dermatologist who agreed it could be that, and I suggested taking s daily allergy pill. It worked.
Sometimes having the time and inclination to do research is more than a busy doctor brings to the table. If you’re skeptical, and understand that cherrypicking symptoms from a list and screaming “oh god it’s a tumor,” is unhelpful, then research is useful.
I've gone through the same. Only google makes you write code on the whiteboard and only Google gives you A lot of puzzle coding interviews. With the others there is way more discussion and system design going on. It's much nicer as a candidate.
I also remember often getting really dizzy working in my previous office, and I couldn't understand why, maybe you're on to something.
Now I'm wondering how all of that has affected my health along the years
