Governmental Limitations of dosages for medicine that's worked for years.

.morphine has worked great for me for over 16 years, well I've been on a 60mg twice daily that made my pain level al.ost null and void. Well as the Dr. told me, one day I'd build an immunity to the doseage and would need more, I'm going to be 68 in Nov. I never took any handouts, started paying into SS at 13 working for the school system during the summer and now they tell me the governor has limitations on dosage due to drug seekers. I've been quite functional on the doseage, never went to an ER seeking more drugs, don't like marijuana and there is no scientific proof of any strain working for pain. Now they want to take me off of morphine and try methadone I th6they said, I said just go to the next doseage of what's worked for me and let me get back to being comfortable hopefully for what time I have left.

Madden Williams leads Bosco to epic win

St. John Bosco’s offense put on a show, but it was Madden Williams who stole the spotlight in a nail-biter against St. Francis. With both teams stacked with top college prospects, the energy was off the charts. Williams, a Texas A&M commit, made clutch plays down the stretch, helping Bosco score two fourth-quarter touchdowns for a hard-fought 21-14 victory. If you love high school football, this was a game for the ages—talent everywhere, momentum swings, and a finish that had everyone on their feet. What does this say about Bosco’s championship hopes? #Sports #Football #HighSchoolFootball

Individual perspective

Sad , that individuals have such a hard time with elected authority , rules, policies , and changes they don’t even take time to listen or understand . Just vehemently scream Yell , tantrum , rebel , unlawfully even violently protest, ,and do what opposition pays or tells you to do as their robots for theatrical TV cameras . Eclectic society with many cultures that due to unlawful , immoral , corrupt conniving power control greed this nation is going to HELL . This planning , scamming has gone on behind closed for over a decade . Everyone seems to think they are an expert . Blame , fear mongering doomsday propaganda its destructive, detrimental , and mentally killing population .

21 C-sections in 10 hours?!

A doctor in India is under serious scrutiny after performing 21 emergency C-sections in just 10 hours—yes, you read that right! Officials are worried about safety and proper procedures, especially since records were apparently not well-kept. The doc says it’s business as usual in busy hospitals, but the hospital wants a full report on every single case. Most moms and babies are fine, but this is wild. Would you trust a doc working at that pace? #Health #BodyHealth #IndiaNews

Did Looks Ever Affect an NBA Career? The Case of Sam Cassell

There’s always been talk about how marketability can be tied to appearance. Some players land more endorsements and media shine because they “look the part.” Sam Cassell is often brought up in these conversations. He wasn’t known for his looks, but he was an absolutely great player — a 3× NBA champion, an All-Star, and one of the league’s most clutch guards in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Yet despite his résumé, Cassell never quite got the mainstream spotlight or endorsement opportunities that players of his caliber sometimes do. Fans still debate whether his appearance played a role in how underappreciated he was off the court. Do you think looks have ever shaped an NBA player’s career path? #NBA #SamCassell #NBATrivia #NBAHistory #HoustonRockets #CelticsNation #Timberwolves #NBAAllStar

Afghanistan’s Lessons for American Credibility

The chaotic U.S. exit from Afghanistan left a bitter legacy. Twenty years, trillions of dollars, and thousands of lives—yet the Taliban returned to power. Allies and adversaries alike saw America’s vulnerability. It wasn’t just a military failure. It was a credibility crisis. If the U.S. can’t uphold its commitments in faraway lands, how can allies trust Washington to act elsewhere? Afghanistan revealed a harsh truth: global leadership requires both capability and perception. Americans may debate whether it was worth it, but the world has already answered. Trust is fragile, and mistakes echo for decades. #Military #Afghanistan #US #GlobalLeadership

Trust ER Docs, Not TikTok Conspiracies!

I can't even with all these wild conspiracy theories popping up every day like dandelions in the ER. It's like, do y'all really think doctors have time to be part of some secret cabal? We're over here just trying to save lives, not plot world domination between patient rounds. The other day, a dude came in convinced COVID was a hoax, but his wheezing kinda begged to differ. It's like, what are we even doing this for if people are just gonna believe whatever random crap they find online? It's messing with their health and just making our jobs harder. I get it, the internet says crazy stuff, but can we just chill with the baseless claims, please? It's exhausting! Let your doctors be doctors, not detectives debunking myths. #MedicalMisinformation #ERStruggles #TrustYourDoctors

how a denied insurance claim left my family on the brink

After my mom’s $10,000 hospital bill, we thought the worst was over — until the insurance company refused to pay. They claimed her surgery was “elective” and therefore not covered. But the doctor’s notes said otherwise, and the hospital agreed the procedure was medically necessary. We spent weeks on hold, arguing with claim reps who repeated scripted lines, demanding paperwork that was already sent multiple times. Every call felt like hitting a brick wall. This isn’t just about my family. I’ve seen countless patients crushed by similar denials — even when their cases were clear-cut. Hospitals charge exorbitantly, insurers deny claims, and patients get stuck in the middle, drowning in debt and frustration. The system isn’t broken by accident — it’s designed this way. Knowing this as a former hospital insider hurts even more. I’ll keep exposing these stories, because patients deserve transparency and fairness — not silence and confusion. #MedicalBill #InsuranceNightmares #HospitalBill

America: Savior or Spent Force?

Since World War II, the United States has styled itself as the “arsenal of democracy,” stepping in when others could not—defeating fascism, containing communism, rebuilding Europe and Japan. For decades, Americans believed that when the world was in danger, America had no choice but to lead. But the mood today is shifting. Polls show growing skepticism about endless foreign commitments. From Afghanistan to Ukraine, citizens ask: why should U.S. taxpayers bleed for conflicts oceans away? Isn’t it time to focus at home? Political theorists frame this as the classic debate between liberal internationalism and isolationism. The first insists that American power guarantees global stability; the second warns that overextension drains national strength. The dilemma is stark: if America pulls back, does chaos fill the void? Or has America’s “savior complex” become unsustainable in a multipolar world? Either way, the choice will shape not only U.S. foreign policy, but the international order itself. #Military #Politics #USForeignPolicy #WorldOrder
