An ADHD diagnosis as an adult is hard. If it's impacting work (which if you have ADHD I don't see how it couldn't), your best bet is starting off with a licensed therapist. They can at least help you get things started, and help get you a recommendation to a psychiatrist. If the current clamp down on ADHD meds is any indication, it probably will have to be a specialized psychiatrist to get you diagnosed.

One of the things about ADHD is that the symptoms are life long, so there would be some indication that you had it as a kid. Your parents and siblings or close cousins are your best bet on that. You don't want to fish for the information, but get a general idea of what they know. It will help in your diagnosis, or at least get you into testing.

I posted in the other thread about how this is involving other for profit healthcare stocks, but I see a trend that we need to correct before the wrong people are hurt.

We are talking about for-profit healthcare executives and owners.

The CEO of HCA made $21m in total compensation. A physician makes on average $200k in the org.

Tenet Healthcare CEO made $18m. A physician makes on average $232k.

Vs Non-profits: Mayo Clinic CEO: $3.72m (notably also a Dr?) Physician: $273k

Cleveland Clinic CEO: $4m (this was tough to find) Physician: $235k

Now let's look at revenue and profit (well, the revenue for the non-profits). HCA pulls in $60b in revenue, $4b in profit. Tenet HC: $17b in revenue, $400m in profit. Mayo Clinic: $16.3b revenue, Cleveland Clinic: $8.4b revenue.

The contrast is a bit alarming isn't it? Physician salaries are fairly consistent across the board, but the executives of the for-profit entities make 4x-5x the compensation as the non-profits (not that the non-profit CEOs really need $4m/year in pay).

Tying healthcare to profits is the problem.

Well, we know why they're cheap now lol

Correct. And I strongly suspect they are wildly pumping out news about him to narrow the juror pool to people who do live under rocks.

The other option is that jurors lie about their bias, which opens them up for legal consequences.

His defense, in any case, has a very difficult task - they need to be able to somehow communicate him being innocent against stacked charges OR paint him light that the rest of us see that leans them towards Jury Nullification.

My hope is that potential jurors hide their bias, which isn't easy, but gives him the best chance.

Nobody knows.

I think it's because Benchy has a crazy amount of changing surfaces and is easily printable with or without supports, scales better, and doesn't take terribly long to print.

You know, everyone I see uses that tug boat print for their calibration, but what you made here was far more intricate and beneficial.

What's wild is that it's anything but quiet up there.

Literally my parents. And teachers. I was "such a quiet kid" who did well in school. Never mind the fact that I would chatter to my parents and brother to the point where they'd actually get rather upset with me interrupting everything.

Turns out I excelled on tests solely because it was quiet. The doodling and daydreaming I did managed to keep just enough information flowing into my brain that when it came to tests, I just worked through them like puzzles.

I remember classes after I started taking Ritalin in highschool. Holy crap. I actually remembered learning. It was incredible. I didn't have to figure out things on my own. Tests were even easier because I had the answers beforehand.

Oh thank fuck I was worried I broke or something

Pfizer isn't exactly in the good graces of the public either.

For profit healthcare is the problem. It's not the doctors, or nurses, or phlebotomists, or pharmacists that are trying to save lives. It's the people who handle the money fucking around with people's lives so they can make more.

Interesting, interesting, interesting, interesting.

I need the bootlickers to show up and tell me it's just coincidence.

The whole damn thing is a show. They are terrified. The book they usually play by isn't working. What will happen? The amount of support Luigi has is astounding. It's even a topic I tested the waters with at work and these people I work with make a decent living.

America is waking up. I feel it.

A grand jury is weird.

Selected at random like regular jurors, they are on duty for an extended period, they meet in secret and protected. They are only allowed to examine prosecutorial evidence, and only allowed to say if the collected evidence is enough to stand trial.

It's not a great system mostly because some of the stuff they have no choice but to agree to indict with, or they get held in contempt themselves.
