I can’t find it right now, but there was a study done in an American prison where dosing the prisoners with vitamin D supplements reduced inmate violence and suicide attempts/completed suicides.
Shit is important.
People underestimate how important sunlight is. The left tries to mock RFK for saying that we should take the clinically depressed and go put them to work in the fields for 3 or 4 days but it would do them good. It was also part of the conspiracy surrounding covid that part of the forced lockdowns was to keep people devoid of sunlight and vitamin D, which can help fight covid and stop people from getting depressed for being locked down.
I know I've written here before about being a squirrel rehabber. Sunlight is absolutely essential for a squirrel's well being. They can't metabolize a lot of the vitamins they need from their diet unless they get vitamin D via sunlight. When I rescue babies, they get plenty of time to bask in front of a bay window, which they love to do. Again, it's not just because it's good for them but it's absolutely essential and they can get very sick without direct exposure to sunlight.
Definitely think vitamin D and sunlight is something that should be pushed a lot harder. I take about 7000 iu a day myself in addition to getting sunlight and other vitamins.
What do the hospitals in the states look like? Like my partner vomited blood this yesterday morning and the clinic he went to directed him to urgent care, but he had to wait 14 hours in the waiting room and would've had to wait at least three more hours on top of that to be seen. How long would he have to wait at an American hospital, and how much would it cost with the average insurance provider?
I'm speaking from a NYC perspective but if you go to a public hospital, like Jamaica hospital, it can be a nightmare and there are actual documented stories of people who have actually died in the waiting room at Jamaica because the triage nurses can be cunts. You can be bleeding out and they're like, "Go sit until we call". One was a guy who came in with stab wounds and told to sit until called and bled to death. Another was a guy who came in with gunshot wounds and also collapsed after being made to wait. A third was a guy who came in with chest pains and was told to sit and collapsed. But again, Jamaica is a public hospital and no one with two nickels to rub together goes there. It's known as a butcher shop and is mostly welfare and illegals.
If you go to a private hospital, there's barely any wait. I go to LIJ (Long Island Jewish) and have brought my mother there as well for emergencies and it's almost instantaneous getting admitted. You walk in, the triage nurse checks you out and then generally you're on your way to a room. It might be an hour or two before a doctor is free to check you out but even though you're already admitted and usually a bunch of nurses are doing a battery of tests on you in preparation. Taking blood, taking vitals. Doing a standard chest x ray, etc. So you're not alone and you're already being monitored.
Back in 2021 I collapsed with severe pain in my stomach because my gallbladder went bad. It was 3 in the morning. By the time I got my mother to drive me because I was doubled over and got to the hospital, it was 3:30 am. By 5am I was getting ultrasounds and being checked by a doctor. By 10am I was wheeled into surgery. By 1pm I was awake from the anesthesia. By 2:30pm I was cleared and released, and by 3pm I was on my couch watching TV. Less than 12 hours between being admitted, getting operated on, and back home.
