Attending a course on medicolegal aspects of obstetrics… can someone explain to me why I ever chose this career? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I run a website that sometimes catalogues current events and maintains informational resources on trans political and medicolegal affairs. I avoid thinking of myself as a journalist, or as anything other than a person, because that's how you get Built Different Brain

Hot take: this also applies to clinical paedophilia. The "illness" as described is not consistent with "other" paraphilias and most CSA perpetrators do not qualify for a diagnosis. It's entirely a medicolegal device for sufficiently powerful sexually predatory men to avoid consequences
Men aren’t born with a propensity to commit acts of sexual violence. It is socialized behavior, often learned through abuse itself. Take fraternities and hazing as one example. The slightly older students beat the younger ones and the cycle continues year after year. Sports teams, armies, the same.

Medicolegal blah blah blah. Fuck that, let’s just talk if it’s warranted

I’d read books about The Body Farm & medicolegal death investigation & forensic anthropology & criminal profiling over breakfast since I was a teenager.

What they did to #VictoriaRoshchyna is fucking brutal and subhuman.

It made me rage-cry and have to refrain from putting my fist through a wall.
I thought I wanted to rearrange #Putin’s face BEFORE #VictoriaRoshchyna was brutalized?

She was four years younger than I.

We are coming for you, Vladimir.

& your little puppets, too.

I know there's no equivalent to the medicolegal concept of malpractice, but if there were this would be its poster child

sugarcoating dire adverse information is abuse

Hi! I'm Cyndi. I do copy/line editing of fiction as well as medicolegal editing and editing of school psych reports #ACESchat

Things we have learned about this guy without ever asking:

Married, 4 kids.
Might be almost a Gen-X'er?
Was once a medicolegal death investigator
Was expelled twice as a criminally destructive youth and went to 3 different high schools

As an anonymous person, I don't know why he volunteers this.

Patient notes are medicolegal documents. It would be inappropriate to write "strong shoujo anime vibes" no matter how well it fits.

the hardcover of Medicolegal Investigation of Death by Werner Spitz that i got at a thrift store for $1
What is the most cursed object in your home? Ours is a heavily personally annotated book of Cheryl Strayed aphorisms that someone who thought she was much closer to my wife than she actually was gave her.

Regardless of the merits (or lack thereof) of using AI for frontline healthcare, from a medicolegal perspective who is taking liability if and when things go wrong?

Because I can't imagine it will be the AI providers

(Yes, for the medicolegal aspects, I do this)

It's usually a relative clinical contraindication but an absolute medicolegal contraindication

Oohhh! That’s my favorite advent calendar- medicolegal death investigator…!!

Si le législateur a choisit le terme "Mort Naturelle", ce n’est pas pour cacher quelque chose, cacher une euthanasie criminelle, mais au contraire protéger les soignants impliqués, mais également les proches du défunt. Parce que si vous vous embarquez dans un processus médicolégal,

I will make one relatively positive observation about the Vine Report in that it does make positive reference to documents that were considered pro-trans in their outcome and that it responds to some common baseless criticisms of the medicolegal footing of youth trans healthcare
The Vine Report exhibits a substantial slopification effect: most of its textual citations go to previous reviews which were identifiably ideologically motivated, methodologically flawed, or (more usually) both. Essentially, the anti-trans scientific fraud campaign has achieved epistemic dominance
Looking at Queensland's Vine Report on trans youth healthcare, I genuinely wonder if they were just told a couple of months ago "just do the Cass Review but in Australian". So far, all of the findings and recommendations are identical

We are actually taught as pediatricians on EVERY unvaccinated child-physician encounter to raise the issue and offer delinquent vaccines for the child’s sake and for medicolegal purposes. You cannot force a vaccine on families who are indecisive.
