  • One patient with an ectopic pregnancy said her care was delayed so long that her fallopian tubes ruptured.

    “I could have died,” she said in the report. “I really could have died.”

    In another case, Sukhavasi had a patient in her first trimester who came to the hospital bleeding and in pain. The patient wanted an abortion procedure called dilation and curettage, or D&C, which uses suction to empty the contents of the uterus and stop the pain and bleeding.

    “I know this pregnancy is not going to make it anywhere near survival. And I was stopped from taking her to the operating room,” Sukhavasi said.

    The woman waited for hours while hospital officials decided if her abortion was allowed.

    Fucking hell.




  • Oh! Also RevitaLash. It’s more expensive, but I was desperate so I got a few different brands just in case and still alternate. It worked on my eyelashes, too (sadly that’s just bad genes - never had long ones). This morning I just did a little trim with some small scissors, and I’m happy with that. It really was odd to find something that worked as advertised. I wish your wife happy, crazy, out of control eyebrows! :)


  • I’ve tried some of the eyebrow gel stuff (The Ordinary, o7) that promises to regrow lost brows, and it’s been surprisingly effective. You just have to use it regularly for a few weeks.

    I went from my SO commenting on my lack of eyebrows multiple times and my mom asking me if I had an eyebrow pencil…to my mom telling me to do something about my “out of control bushy eyebrows”.

    I was pleasantly surprised.
