Oh it’s bad. I’ve been on it since I was 15. My PCP tried to say I had aged out of being ADHD.... and wouldn’t prescribe it to me even after I retook the tests as an adult. So had to switch doctors because I truly need it.

That is crazy. They are definitely cracking down on this.

What kind of testing did they do for an adult?

I did QB testing

I rly notice when. I don’t have it

Essentially IQ testing is what they do. I am going to see a Neurologist. Essentially my comprehensive report is 8 years old so he said it was too old. However I also got a letter from my licensed therapist/clinical psychologist sent to them to support the decision. The doctor was so scared to prescribe the medication that wanted me to get another diagnosis from his people that he knew. It was as if he knew they would probably deny me.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

One of the worst double standards in corporate america.

Companies especially startups expect you to not keep interviewing when you accept a job offer. “It can deteroriate your brand.”

But companies would replace you in a heartbeat for almost any reason. Including interviewing a candidate who will replace you (you will be fired as soon as they find a person).

So companies can fuck with the little guys but we can’t look for our best interest?
