Fentanyl topic split off election thread.

In 2019 on this forum I brought up the fact that "retard" seems unacceptable to me, and was told that it's OK to use.

I'm glad the policy has officially changed.

Sadly, it hasn’t (at least not on the Forum).

That's why it isn't an admin notice.  It's a suggestion to use some sense.

As someone supposedly versed in the medical, you'd think our new friend would know that.

If the OP starts actually practicing medicine somebody PM me, I might get involved then.

Anyone can practice anything. Might just not be accepted as valid by a respected board.

Though the OP isn't a doctor, he is professionally involved. I think it's fair to say he knows more about the field than the vast majority of others.

I am a professional in industrial biotech so I know a couple of things in drugs, nutraceuticals and integrators manufacturing and markets and I have a network of friends from all over the world, and when we meet we talk also about the different health approach in different countries. I also own a company where we have 5 toxicologists looking into health effects of medical devices, impurities in drugs, food contact material interaction with food etc etc and I have a bunch of customers form US, in addition many in my family are medical doctors.

Yeah, I'm reminded of some guys who passed themselves off as "mechanics". At least when the "patient", an automobile- "died" it wasn't as tragic.

I can say I am a brain surgeon or a rocket scientist...doesn't make it so.

And my dad was a veterinarian....doesn't make me one any more than the OP having doctors in the family makes them a medical expert.

Gosh, thanks Bel,...... you know I can't read so goodly.

Edit: But I'm sure that you two will get along just fine, it appears that you both have a similar view of America.

I don't understand the negative view people seem to have of europeanatheist. It's clear he's no fan of Trump or of RFK. 

It's true that despite RFK's kookiness, he might be correct about some things. Nothing he says is original with him; there are others, with varying degrees of expertise, who agree with them. To work out exactly what is correct we'd have to take the time to examine each case. 

It's true that the US allows all kinds of food additives that are banned in Europe and in Japan. I'm no expert on food additives, but it makes sense to ask why other countries have made these rules. 

These are all scientific questions. I don't think we want corporate lobbyists making the rules, and I don't think we want to judge who is correct simply according to which politicians we hate. It's not anti-American to say you'd like the government to do a better job with people's health. And you don't have to support Trump or RFK to see that as a worthy goal.

I suggest that you return to post #1 and #3 in this thread and read them again. The use of fentanyl during surgery for anesthesia is common and not tied to addiction. No physician that I know gives fentanyl for short term post op pain. And ibuprofen in excess amounts? I'd love to hear the details but suspect he has none.

Who the fuck cares about RFK?
