Man, the way the BBC talks about medical advancements REALLY pisses me off.

There was a bit about the implantation of a device into a boy's skull to help with his severe epilepsy which has been unresponsive to treatment.

And you can nearly hear them slavering over the views

The reporter asks the kid's mum, 'would you say it's robbed him of most of his childhood?' - what the fuck kind of question is that?

And then, "They're going to put a DEVICE… into. his. SKULL"

Yeah? Okay?

I'm sure there'd be less worry and fear around helpful devices like this if the BBC showed a little bit of restraint and didn't make it sound terrifying.

Endometriosis Treatment Market Regional Analysis And Future Forecast 2022-2028

The Endometriosis Treatment Market has witnessed significant growth and advancements in recent years, and the period from 2022 to 2028 is projected to bring forth a promising landscape of regional developments and future prospects. Endometriosis, a chronic gynecological condition characterized by the abnormal growth of tissue similar to the lining of the uterus outside the womb, affects millions of women worldwide. As awareness and diagnosis of the condition continue to improve, the demand for effective treatments is driving the evolution of the market across various regions.

In North America, which has historically been at the forefront of medical innovations, substantial investments in research and development are expected to fuel the market's growth. The region boasts a well-established healthcare infrastructure and a high prevalence of endometriosis cases, resulting in a strong demand for advanced therapeutic solutions. Technological advancements, such as minimally invasive surgical techniques and personalized treatment options, are anticipated to shape the future of endometriosis management in North America.

Europe, characterized by its emphasis on healthcare accessibility and quality, is likely to witness a surge in endometriosis treatment initiatives. Collaborative efforts between pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, and healthcare providers are anticipated to lead to the development of novel treatment modalities. The region's regulatory environment and favorable reimbursement policies will play a pivotal role in fostering innovation and ensuring patient access to emerging therapies.

Asia Pacific, home to a significant portion of the global population, is poised to exhibit remarkable growth in the Endometriosis Treatment Market during the forecast period. Increasing awareness about women's health issues, coupled with rising disposable incomes and improving healthcare infrastructure, is projected to drive market expansion in this region. As governments and healthcare organizations focus on addressing unmet medical needs, the demand for effective endometriosis treatments is likely to soar.

Latin America and the Middle East & Africa regions are also expected to witness notable advancements in endometriosis treatment. Growing healthcare investments, coupled with a rising prevalence of endometriosis cases, will likely contribute to the expansion of treatment options in these regions. Collaborative efforts between international healthcare organizations and local stakeholders are crucial for optimizing patient care and outcomes.

Looking ahead, the Endometriosis Treatment Market is poised for transformative changes driven by scientific breakthroughs, technological innovations, and increased patient advocacy. The development of targeted therapies, hormone-based treatments, and non-invasive interventions holds the potential to revolutionize how endometriosis is managed. However, challenges such as diagnosis delays and limited awareness in certain regions must be addressed to ensure equitable access to these advancements.

The period from 2022 to 2028 is expected to witness a dynamic and promising landscape in the Endometriosis Treatment Market across various regions. The interplay of research and development, healthcare policies, and patient-centric approaches will shape the evolution of treatment options, ultimately improving the quality of life for millions of women affected by endometriosis worldwide.

Do you know if male mules typically have nipples?

I wasn’t sure and I also couldn’t find a straight answer for that (I’m surprised at how little information there is on animal nipples online. Doesn’t anyone get curious about random topics like this?) so I went down a little rabbit hole and resorted to looking at images and watching videos of male mules being gelded, heh.

Well, what I can tell you is that none of the mules I saw during this brief research had nipples! Of course, the conclusion here isn’t that male mules never have them, since it was a small sample size. But there’s a possibility they might favor their horse half on this aspect!

I'm late to the party but if you're still doing the fanfic meme...I'd love to know 2 and 14 for Stain!

Woo let's do it! For A Stain that Won't Dissolve:

2: What scene did you first put down?

I feel like I've been saying this a lot, but the first scene I wrote is the first scene everyone reads. I've been writing in chronological order for a while now!

I ran a lot of scenes in my head mentally first. Because my first image of this story was of them as like... the ages they are in the game, and it just wasn't working. They were too young, and not mature enough. Things really kicked off when I was like 'okay, what if Sebastian is a divorcee who leaves and comes back' and then really kicked off when it was like 'what if Alex becomes a cleaner to pay for his grandparent's medical debt.'

All of those things came in stages and I really noodled on this story and its structure for over a month.

By the time I started writing, I was ready to start writing. And I knew I'd start with Alex being like, quite provocative and shocking to set the tone, so the first sentence is literally around him reminiscing on the fact that he used to imagine forcing Sebastian to give him revenge blowjobs lmao.

14: Is there anything you wanted readers to learn from reading this fic?

I don't really like to be didactic with my writing. Like I don't set out to 'teach' moral lessons or anything like that, and I'm maybe even a little selfish in that I'm often not thinking about the reader in that way at all. I'm thinking about writing an entertaining story for myself with entertaining characters. I really want to entertain the people who read the story. I think more about emotional responses than learning. I'm not trying to teach, I'm trying to entertain. But teaching can be a byproduct, it's just not the focus.

BUT, I do think I like exploring themes around classism, small-town dynamics (it's not the first time I've explored this), attitudes of learned helplessness, what real support in a community looks like vs. lip service support, etc.

In a perfect world, I want readers to go away having enjoyed the fic and gotten something meaningful out of it. Even if that meaningful thing is simply that they felt comforted during a tough time, or they got to escape from reality for a while and feel happy for the characters at the end.

I don't know if I need them to learn anything new about something grand or whatever. I'm not out here trying to teach deep lessons, but because my characters are often learning deep lessons, sometimes that happens anyway. Alex for example, devaluing himself the way that he does? A lot of people (including me) relate to that. Giving someone like Alex access to support, means some people (including me) get to vicariously experience that getting support or looking for it can be scary, but often lead to good things.

That's not a bad thing to take away from any story.

But I'm pumped if people enjoy it, and I'm not out here trying to teach big lessons. My goal is always the emotional responses and the emotional engagement and the emotional journey. If people read my stories and feel nothing at all, then I'd be the first to be like 'hey, um, hey, there's better writing out there, you'll enjoy that more, trust me' lol

anyway on the topic of pete, he's going to be just fine i have genuinely all the faith in the world in him. to be perfectly honest i think he has to start trying Less. you can literally see him overthinking and double clutching shots he normally would simply bury and it's all just a miserable feedback loop. at the end of the day he's still elias p.ettersson and i think he needs to just trust himself even HALF as much as i trust him lol and just... play.
