Susan Burton and Laura Starecheski andThe patients are still reckoning with what the pain the nurse inflicted has cost them. Having entered a guilty plea, the nurse arrives in a courtroom in downtown New Haven, Conn., to receive her sentence. In her work, she’s encountered lots of patients with addiction, and she starts out sympathetic to the nurse. But during the hearing, Allicia will learn something about the nurse that she cannot forgive. The judge begins the hearing by announcing that she hasn’t yet made a decision about the nurse’s sentence.

Susan Burton and Laura Starecheski andDozens of women came to a clinic at Yale for fertility treatment. All of them experienced unexpected and severe pain during a procedure called the egg retrieval. They said that their pain was not taken seriously by their health care providers, or that they were not believed. As a consequence, they came up with their own explanations for their pain. Now the patients who were in pain had an explanation for it — and lots of questions for the institution that let this happen.

In addition to body inclusion, the Stellavision trip to southern Italy (July 15 to 29, $5,650) focuses on hyperlocal tourism, as well as woman-owned businesses. For Sara Courson, who traveled with the 2022 group, that was the main draw — but the size-inclusive aspect was the clincher. On the Stellavision trip — which will run again in the summer of 2024, as will a new size-inclusive Italy trip with a route and an itinerary to be determined — there is no specifically body-focused programming. “There were therapy-adjacent-type tools,” said Ms. Courson, “but we’re not sitting around talking every meal about what it’s like in our lives.”

The family receives financial support from Claire’s parents, who helped cover living expenses when Carla took off a year and a half during the pandemic to care for Linus. Carla has had a different experience with her parents. They have not given her the same level of support, and she believes they have iced her out because she is a lesbian. They were unable to save ahead of time and used credit cards throughout the process. Still, the Shermans got pregnant relatively cheaply through intrauterine insemination, which is usually the first and least expensive stop in assisted reproduction.

CNN —Sky-gazers across North America are in for a treat in 2024 when a total solar eclipse will pass over Mexico, the United States and Canada. The last total solar eclipse visible from the US occurred on August 21, 2017. During a total solar eclipse, the sky will darken as it would at dawn or dusk, and there are several stages of the eclipse that sky-gazers anticipate. The total solar eclipse will be visible in parts of Mexico, Canada and more than 10 US states, while the partial solar eclipse is expected to appear in 49 states — weather permitting. A map shows the path of the annular solar eclipse in October in yellow circles and the 2024 total solar eclipse in blue circles.

☆ Why doctors used to think drilling into people's skulls could treat mental illness
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-17 | by ( Carla Delgado | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

Lobotomies used to be a horrific way that doctors tried to treat patients with mental illness. Different doctors performed lobotomies differently, but one of the primary approaches was to drill a hole in the side of the skull to access the brain. Doctors thought that severing certain connections in the brain could help treat mental illness. By the 1950s, lobotomies were on their way out, but not before doctors performed over 40,000 of them in the US alone. A drill, shown on the right, is cranked by hand to help doctors access the patient's brain.

The jump in S&P 500's big tech stocks is masking concerns among investors that the US is already in recession, BlackRock Investment Institute says. The US has logged back-to-back quarters of contraction in gross domestic income. The S&P 500 has tacked on about 9% this year. Last week, the government said gross domestic income declined 2.3% in the first quarter of 2023 on a seasonally adjusted annual basis. Its aggressive series of hikes last year contributed to driving the S&P 500 down more than 18% last year.
