Is it possible for a bacterium that typically causes acute fever and vomiting and then passes like yersinia to become endemic to the intestine and ultimately exist in some kind of balance with typical gut flora producing symptoms proportional to it's total colonization of the GI tract ?

Has there ever been any research on the effects of artificially increasing a woman's testosterone levels while she's pregnant? I know it might even cause termination but I still wonder if it's ever been actually done. And supposing the child survives would it just result in exaggerated masculine qualities or a husk from a destroyed hormone balance?

i havent eaten all day and had 250mL of energy drinks a few minutes before a walk, and then eating (with my body in keto) some bread, makes it taste like jam (fruity) !!
its nice too, that the bread all bundles up in my mouth like a ball if i chew on it all properly

even though it is just the body in keto for me i know - why does the diabetics breath smell fruity (in hyperglycaemia or in that without diabetes)? what IS the fruity smell (is it insulin?)

99% of specialists are useless outside of the 3 patient types they treat. Congratulations, specialists have some of the easiest jobs on the planet. Hyper-specialization is a meme job and it's shameful.

I had a lady have a heat-stroke related seizure on a spirit airlines flight because the fucking airplane AC was doing jackshit
And this nerdy ahh neurologist stands up to "localize the lesion"
By the time he actually gets there the ictal period is over and the lady is just sitting there blinking at him in post ictal brain fog
So he just asks her if she has water to drink and sits back down until EMS escorts her off

What a joke man

>>being a physician prevents you from doing BLS
In theory no, in practice the average specialist will either be capable of half-assed BLS or none at all. If you got into a car accident and suffered from femoral arterial bleeding, blood is spraying out of your leg as if someone was squeezing a water bottle, would you trust a nearby random psychiatrist to stop it, or would you rather have the nearby emergency grunt/retard/whatever give it a go?
