A Nigerian teen is turning agricultural waste into biodegradable sanitary pads
For many Nigerian women, access to sanitary pads remains a challenge. Even those who can obtain them, the prevalence of single-use menstrual products creates problems of its own. They contain plastics and chemicals and are not eco-friendly generating large amounts of waste. After learning that many traditional sanitary pads used contain up to 90% plastic […]

A 4 pane comic with non-descript bubble figures. In the first pane, a man stands at a desk labeled "Insurance" and asks "I need healthcare." The man behind the desk says "LMAO! You serious?" In the second pane, there are two men behind the desk. One says "Hey! This guy wants healthcare!" The second says "Ahahaha!" In the third pane, the original man wakes up in bed screaming "NOOO!!!" A woman next to him says "What's wrong, Sven?" In the fourth pane, Sven replies "I think I had an Ameri…

#Healthcare #US #Insurance #CPAP
So my CPAP started displaying a message on start up that it's motor has exceeded it's rated hours; fortunately it still works for now.
Called to get a replacement. Insurance said I needed a prior auth from my doc.
Doc says they don't issue prior auths (which I should have flagged when talking to insurance). Now insurance says to get my CPAP pressure/info from the local durable goods provider who somehow is in network with every damned insurance I've been on in 30 years (in US healthcare...go figure).
They can't give me that info; they need a script from the doc for pressure and other data.
Finally insurance upends all of it and says I need a new sleep study before I can get a replacement CPAP. Not a 'new' one, just the one I've been prescribed and provided, replaced b/c it's End Of Life.
That will take THREE visits and I won't have a new CPAP until SEPTEMBER.
MF I could have a god damned stroke if this machine cuts out.
sigh
