> As patients underwent CPR, a tablet computer displayed one of ten visual images

> During 5 minutes of the CPR, patients also were repeatedly exposed through the headphone audio to the names of 3 fruits

I think this type of experiment could be harmful to patients.

Human brain consumes oxygen at varied rate. It consumes more oxygen under stress. Natural body reaction is to pass out, to preserve limited oxygen reserves in blood and tissue. Interfering or preventing person from loosing consciousness, will deplete oxygen supply faster, and may cause permanent brain damage sooner.

I have no evidence for this claim, just experience from yoga and diving.

> I got more daring with my sandwich orders.

I think author slept at some cottage every night. Taking sandwiches on through hike without resuply does not seem very practical..

I did wild camping in Scotland long time ago, but I would not recommend it today. Locals are not so welcoming now.

Many "pets" are just farm animals. Nobody will fork out day wage to save some cat, that is catching mice at barn.

> showed male veterinarians are twice as likely... than the general population to die by suicide

This may come as a bit cynical, but gender on its own has bigger correlation for suicide, than being veterinarian! 80% of suicide victims are males. That gives 3x higher rate over general population.

It would be nice, if all people who cry here over veterinarians, could give some sympathy to men as well!

I am a dog attack survivor. I was 10 years old, I spend a few weeks in hospital.

Some people do not find this funny, they may even loose control and go berserker. This little attack may escalate pretty fast!

Perhaps subtitle from Politico article may add little context:

> Beheadings, mass shootings and other images linked to the violence targeting Israel widely shared on Elon Musk’s social media network.

This sort of gore is very illegal in EU. We do not have free speech in constitution, like US.

Too bad rape kits are not required today. There will be zero DNA evidence in future!

> hypochondriacs claim to have without evidence.

> people claim to have without evidence.

Bit of a technical note. Patients claim is the evidence on its own. Patient may be undiagnosed, but there is an evidence for such claim.

IBS, lyme disease, all sorts of allergies are very hard (and expensive) to diagnose. Some people have no money for doctors, and may not be even registered with GP.

If customer at restaurant says they have a peanut allergy, you better to believe them. Saying "there is no evidence for such claim" may get you in troubles very fast...

It is easy not to install tracker, tumbler and all sorts of garbage like that. It is also easy to run browser in well protected virtual machine sandbox.

Firejail exposes you to bugs in kernel. Not much better than tracker.
