this is a through-line on a number of jobs that we ask mostly-men to do: they are catastrophically bad for mental health, and we know this, and we do not make sufficient provision for care for it. not gonna be a popular take but “cop” is one of those jobs

“Although there aren’t available statistics on how many N.F.L. players have made nursing their second career, The Times spoke to five current and former athletes about their decision. Some are still playing and plan to pursue nursing when they leave… while others made the shift after retirement.”

There is so much cool, real health science that I think could really satisfy woo woo urge! Sometimes I think just explaining how pills/bodies work helps patients fill the need for woo woo. Like it helps them place real things into the story of their life or something.

The book so far as it presents itself as a "what if" and puts forward the idea of a possible "Korean Spring" while I am hesitant to agree with such notions given the state of the KPG and PRK it's sweeping references and knowledge of Korean colonial history and circumstances

Gene-editing breakthrough has potential to treat array of devastating genetic diseases soon after birth, scientists say Doctors in the US have become the first to treat a baby with a customised gene-editing therapy after diagnosing the child with a severe genetic disorder that kills about half of those affected in early infancy. International researchers have hailed the feat as a medical milestone, saying it demonstrated the potential for treating an array of devastating genetic diseases by rewriting faulty DNA soon after affected children are born.
