Assuming that harmless means the glitter is biodegradable and actually causes no harm, I’d take the glitter.

I’ve got a young kid and several young nieces and nephews. Most of them are either going through the sparkly princess stage, or their superhero phase. Being able to puff out glitter on demand would make their days :)

You’ve missed the point here. There are a lot of us with chronic illnesses who have been to see a doctor, and the doctor has used Google to look up our illness. These doctors don’t seem to be keeping up to date with their research, and don’t exactly fill us with confidence when they openly demonstrate their lack of knowledge.

The majority of us believe in the science, and a lot of us keep ourselves up to date as much as we can, so seeing doctors who don’t even know the basics is infuriating.

If you’d taken the time to read either of my other replies on this post, you would have seen my example of the GP who asked my wife what to do.

There are a hell of a lot of good doctors out there, who know about our illnesses or even admit that they need to refresh their knowledge, but there are also way too many doctors who openly Google it and don’t even pretend to know. They are the ones we complain about.

Are you serious? The post is about doctors who don’t know their jobs.

I even said in my comment that they might have to double check things, but often don’t have the sense to be subtle about it.

I’m not expecting to walk up to a stranger in the street and have them know the details of my illness, I’m talking about a trained professional who is about to give me advice or medication that could kill me if they get it wrong. They should at least know the basics, and certainly shouldn’t just sit there with a blank look on their face.

Read my other comments on this post. I’ve had a GP as my wife what to do because he hadn’t kept up with his work, while my dentists knew about my illness and made sure that they were taking any precautions that they needed to.

Yep. If it’s your stereotypical American mall, just break open one of the food court stalls that has fruit, and get yourself to the opposite end of the mall. Let the gorilla have some food, and stay as far away as you can :)

I prefer their URLs to yours, as you can see what you’re getting before you open the link

This isn’t about not trusting the science, this is about those doctors who either haven’t kept up with their research, or haven’t got the sense to be subtle when they need to double check something.

I’ve got a rare disease, and I’ve seen way too many of these doctors. The bright side is that they make the good doctors look even better 👍
