lol, fun thread, i think most peiple didnt understand what you were actually trying to discuss, the pharmacist was closest but was still misunderstanding your musings on government overreach.

People have an adverse reaction to reading. Anti-intellectualism is championed in rural areas. India needs to pick a standard and stick to it. I hate wasting patients’ time. There should be auto-transcribers, but I don’t think patients want to read our medical jargon verbosely.
Morse code education should be mandatory for our blind&deaf caretakers.

I figured out how to reverse and chart Morse code and now I knit secret messages for people when I make them things.
