Reply to Girls of Reddit what’s your first period story? by Someloser321

I woke up. felt like something was off. I went to the bathroom. blood everywhere.

up until that point I had been terrified at the sight of blood, but this time there was so much my brain simply shut off. I called my mom and told her "I think my period started" and she was all "whaaaaat how do you know what a period is?" as if I didn't have an older sister.

it was fine after that. I haven't been afraid of blood even a little bit since that day

Reply to comment by Aromatic_Highlight27 in How soon will people be confortable with being treated only by machines, as opposed to AI-assisted human medical doctors? by Aromatic_Highlight27

Basically two things here, the first is that different rules for various products and loopholes mean they could likely pretty much just... sell it until the government did something. Possibly even outright admit what it was doing and the government might have trouble stopping it in the short term.

The second is that I think there'd probably be wholesale resistance to removing humans from the decision making chain in the short/medium term. Don't get me wrong, I actually would generally favor both of these (presuming they were both mature technologies), I just don't think it's going to be technical progress that necessarily slows the AI prescription part (arguably, that might be doable now).

Well, what is her line of work and what is this secondarily traumatizing content? (without any identifying information)

When I worked as a therapist, this was considered appropriate and healthy. Similarly, lawyers can discuss their cases - within certain guidelines - with professional peers. Nobody is supposed to keep all this bottled up.
