It’s not something that needs medical intervention, necessarily, because there’s nothing that can be done, and most live through it. Also, until shockingly recently, the medical field assumed (or maybe hoped?) infants can’t feel pain.
Turns out they can, though.
e: I can’t spell
Every inch of your body’s skin being hardened and cracked to the point nearly every surface nerve is exposed and raw doesn’t seem that bad?
What does seem bad to you?
If you still believe in a god, google ‘Harlequin Fetus’.
If you don’t, don’t. Seriously, don’t.
‘Three words that made me an atheist: Paediatric Oncology Ward’.
I can’t remember who said that, but it’s spot on.
Yep. And this bug exists in both scenarios.
Wait, really?
That’s terrible design. I know I’m a mod and can take action. That’s the point of being a mod. Flagging all comments is superfluous and misleading.
I thought something was wrong with my community.
e: Instead of a shield (which to me means ‘fellow mod’) I’d colour the edit ellipsis green or something. This makes me think the commenter is a mod.
It helps to know it’s only on my end, thanks! I was worried anyone could mod my community. Thanks for your input! I’ll put it in as a UI bug. Cheers!
Awesome, thanks for letting me know you don’t see everyone as mods. That helps me.
Yes, that one. Here’s what i see:
I’m using Viyager on iOS.
And I don’t see those flags on posts outside my community, anywhere on Lemmy.
Oh, that’s all? Followed.
e: thank you.
I’m confused, then. Do I bridge it from Bluesky?
I clicked your link but it didn’t make sense from my end.
Apparently I need to make a new account; it’s been a loooooong time *warning, Reddit link).
I’ll make a new mastadon account and link it here.
Shit, sign me up. I could definitely use some amusement.
Few things scare you like thinking you’ve lost one of the most expensive and fragile things you use nearly 24/7. And even fewer can make you feel like a complete idiot to realise you’re already holding it. Such a crazy crosswire of feelings.
It’s not. I have a Mastadon account (made it nearly a year before BlueSky). It was work. I have to curate it and the interface is awful. BlueSky was easy.
To be clear, I barely use BlueSky, either. I’m almost exclusively on Lemmy. But these platforms need to get their UX ducks in order, and I say that as someone who has adapted to tech and UX since the late 80s.
I barely have the energy for social media in the first place. Mastadon feels like work.
Oh is that what that noise was? I thought it was from when I nearly strangled myself with my headphone cable in standing, since I’ve apparently forgot how reality works today.
I’ve no idea what’s gone wrong, but someone else suggested weed. I wasn’t on it, but perhaps I should be.
No weed. Just pure unfiltered ignorance.
I wouldn’t change anything except the assumption in the overall medical field that infants can’t feel pain. I don’t know much more about this specific condition, but I have a different condition in which they assumed infants can’t feel pain, and they were wrong enough that I still have trauma from that.
Take any medical knowledge from 20+ years ago that sounds horribly painful with a grain of salt, because that was the assumption relatively recently. Some doctors who learnt medicine more than 20 years ago still think that.
e: Groundbreaking research in 2015 says babies do feel pain. 2015.
