    Change to Hippocratic Oath

    Agree... but what I am trying to get across here is that the typical physician at a hospital or office will not have those sorts of contractural relationships. The vast majority are just "running the rat race" of seeing how many patients they can see within a certain time frame. It's about...

    Change to Hippocratic Oath

    For you "outlanders" :p who might not know... there is this undercurrent of thought amongst some people that it's the physicians... the people you deal with in the hospital or office, who are in control of the US health system. The reality is that most physicians, only after they pay off the...

    Change to Hippocratic Oath

    To the best of my knowledge, there are NO contractual liabilities between a pharmaceutical manufacturer and a physician... unless they are a paid consultant... within the US. Your typical physician within a medical group or hospital will not have that relationship. Now, more commonly (easier...

    Change to Hippocratic Oath

    I would agree that there ARE cases where kickbacks are part of some private practice's... but it's not as common as some would think it is. I would suggest it's rare... at least in 2025. For the most part, insurance companies are the ones in control of who gets what drug and when... it's this...

    Change to Hippocratic Oath

    I know where you were going with this, but it's a bit more nuanced. The US medical schools are highly influenced by the pharmaceutical companies... this much is clear. Almost no education in terms of health and nutrition. Nearly all the training is done in hospitals, with the sick, injured...

    Can't stay at home all the time

    I was at lunch today with my wife and her family. We were discussing my brother-in-law's kids as we were also discussing the family getting together and going on an Alaskan cruise next July. Both of his daughters are married, but the eldest is so clearly Asperger's and her husband is, as well...

    Why therapy is scary to me

    Unless your therapist is also autistic... there might be a disconnect... they are unable to empathize because we are often on a totally different "wavelength". When an neurotypical tries to empathize with us... they come up with this vision of, "If this were me, this is how I would feel... or...

    Have any of used this website for a while but made no friends here?

    This concept of a friend, per se, doesn't fit within my paradigm when it comes to online relationships. Sure... I get along great with most people... good acquaintances... but I am here for the discussions. At least in my mind, a friend is someone that we share a life with... or at least an...

    Look Alike Traits?

    Another thought... not all behavior that seems "odd" on the surface is "autism". Sometimes it has a specific reason... as thought through by a neurodivergent mind. I have come up with countless ideas that clearly were thought through and purposeful, but not anything that a neurotypical would...

    Introductions

    Welcome J, I wasn't diagnosed until I was 52... so I had a lot of time to slowly realize how different I was. It was like I always had a sense that "something was off", but never being able to put a finger on it. I was never really one to discuss myself, what I was thinking to others...

    I dont think im human

    I am not sure if this was directed towards me or not... the train of thoughts here were confusing to me. It's not confusing when you can be open to the concept that more than one truth can exist, that one doesn't have to cancel out the other. It can be an awakening and freeing... even leaving...

    I dont think im human

    ... and just for some clarification of my statements above... even if you are truly a genius... hypothetically... you still are incapable of knowing and understanding anything. It is an illusion created in our primitive, little "monkey" brains. The human sensory system is extremely limiting in...

    The one we were hoping for just recently passed Earth and the sun... a complete "drive by". ;)

    I dont think im human

    I see where you are going with all of this... and I think we can all empathize and sympathize with this sort of thinking at some level. I often feel like a visiting alien, disguised as a human, here to observe. I am present and aware, but not able to "connect" with neurotypicals... and they...
