Per The Atlantic:

DONALD #TRUMP CLAIMS #SCHOOLS ARE OFFERING #SEXCHANGE #SURGERIES

The former president’s recent remarks to Mom’s For Liberty are not only factually #inaccurate but #dangerous.

First, schools are not providing sex-change operations to students. Teachers still have to buy their own crayons; schools aren’t shelling out for surgeons. Second, educators are not deciding “what’s going to happen” with students, beyond subjecting them to a pop quiz or an in-school suspension.

On August 13 President #Biden toured #cancer #research #facilities at Tulane University in New Orleans and deemed the developments "incredible."

Why it matters:
⭐️He announced about $150 million in federal awards during the visit as part of his #cancer "#moonshot" initiative that aims to ❇️cut the cancer death rate in half by 2047. ❇️

The big picture:

"We are the land of possibilities," the president said, adding that the funding will help get new tools into operating rooms.

Nearly 2 million Americans are diagnosed with solid tumor cancers each year, and #surgical #removal is often the first step in their treatment, the White House said.

Tulane is getting $22.9 million to invent 💥new imaging systems that will allow surgeons to see in real time if they removed all cancer cells while their patients are still under anesthesia.
It currently can take days to weeks for doctors to know if all of a tumor has been removed, according to J. Quincy Brown, the lead researcher on Tulane's project called MAGIC-SCAN.
💥The goal is to get that down to 10 minutes within the next five years, he said.

Zoom out:
Seven other teams are working on additional developments geared at making #tumor-#removal #surgeries more successful.

The awardees are
Dartmouth College,
Johns Hopkins University,
Rice University,
University of California in San Francisco,
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign,
University of Washington and
Cision Vision in California.

Their projects include inventing a #new #microscope and creating #new #imaging #systems to visualize blood vessels and nerves

#Children in #Palestine are suffering so much, just trying to get essential #MedicalHelp & much needed #surgeries & #amputations - all while being displaced, homeless, starving & being bombed while trying to find safe refuge. These are brave kids - forced to be brave to survive.

I don't care what your political beliefs are at this point. This is all so wrong & evil, on multiple levels. If you're not speaking up against these kind of evil horrors, you simply lack humanity & you lack courage too.

Parts of the system that are terrible? How about:

1. #Waiting to see a #specialist ... for 7 years. Moved to a different health region before I got to the top of the #waitlist.
2. A third of Canadians do not have, and cannot find, a primary care #physician.
3. "Necessary" surgeries delayed by years; elective #surgeries not even being booked.
4. Women finding breast lumps and waiting a year or more just to see a specialist to see if it's #cancer.

It goes on...

Those anti-freedom transphobic hyperbolic asshats were granted some immoral grace in Ohio. NO more transition surgery for the minors trapped in the wrong physical gender.

Per CNN.

#Ohio Republican Gov. Mike #DeWine announced an executive order on Friday that #bans gender-transition #surgeries for minors.

The ban, which takes effect immediately, comes one week after DeWine vetoed broader #legislation that would have barred #transgender youth from receiving #gender-affirming care.

#Wisconsin legislators mentioned using a C-section & early labor, specifically.

In #Idaho, the ONLY exception to the #trauma of unnecessary #labor & delivery or #CSection is if the #woman’s life would be MORE at risk that way. In other words, instead of having minutes-long #abortions, #women will be forced by the state to endure major #surgeries or #traumatic vaginal deliveries, even if that seriously affects their physical & mental #health.

cbc.ca/news/health/cihi-report “A new report highlights #Canada's major drop in #surgeries during the early years of the #pandemic, but those pains were felt unequally across the country's patchwork #provincial #healthcare systems — with the largest decrease in procedures seen in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The findings were released Wednesday by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (#CIHI), an independent organization which compiles and analyzes health system data.”

CBCSurgery backlogs, staff shortages, no family doctor: New report highlights Canada's health-care crisis | CBC NewsA new report shines a spotlight on Canada's health-care crisis, including major decreases in surgeries through the early years of the pandemic, ongoing staff shortages, and the roughly one in 10 Canadians who say they don’t have a regular provider.
