Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is one of the biggest threats facing us over the next 50-100 years. Antibiotics are honestly one of the biggest things that have improved life expectancy and reduced child mortality over the last 70 years or so. The less effective they become, the more we are screwed, especially but not only the immunocompromised.
If everyone can get antibiotics every time they have a cold without going to see a GP, this has potentially disastrous consequences.
In general, I’m very much against gatekeeping things, but antibiotics are precious.
If, instead, we improved GP working conditions, funded the building of more GP practices, supported junior doctors more so they could actually last long enough to become GPs, this would be a non-issue.
Why is the health secretary someone who knows so fucking little about medicine that she thinks handing sharing antibiotics with friends like this is a good idea??
LESS movies about the lgbtq experience MORE movies about people who just happen to be lgbtq. is it really that hard to understand
I don’t wanna see another story abt a teenage boy coming out to his parents and closed mouth kissing his boyfriend at prom where’s my spy thriller action heist movie w a cast made entirely of dykes and femme gay men you know what I’m fucking talkinf about. I’m tired of The Queer Struggle I struggle every stupid day I know what that’s all about and honestly none of the coming out stories are cathartic or whatever to me. I don’t care. I wanna see a nonbinary person fight a dragon
depression walk of shame is when you finally start talking to and replying to people you’ve been too drained to answer and you have to be like “sorry about that I was trying not to drown in the weight of my own chemical imbalance… sup?”
