I never did fan fiction. But I did a lot of roleplay on forums and in some games. If people are familiar with how RP servers work on GTA 5. It's like or really dnd without the table top gaming part of it. It helped with being ASD to focus on it. Wound up learning new things like how soap is made in yee olden times. Things like old ways of food preservation, sailing ship navigation and means of figuring out rough location. It fun what you can learn in pursuit of an interest.

Tbh, I did something similar when I was younger and used to daydream about being a character in E.R. I didn't know what fanfiction was so I didn't write anything or help anyone, but I wanted to make sure my daydreams were as medically accurate as possible so I researched (before the Internet was available to me) on topics and I still remember words and details from that research when interacting with medical stuff now. I guess I'm weird, lol.

"Old Man"?!?! He was only 45 when the show started.
gnomedeplume
he was thin, gray, wrinkly, cranky and walked with a cane, I don't think you can have more Old Man energy than that
101Medic
To a 16 year old, 45 is basically Methuselah.
newsguycraigevans
Get the hell off my lawn!
EchoPMIM
Old is relative. When you're 25, 45 is old. When you're 35, 45 is not old. When you're 45 and the random aches and pains start adding up, 45 is old again.
BlancheTuttle
Yes, I remember the days when I was 45 and thinking it was old. It doesn't seem that old anymore.

This "Doogie Howser, MD" remake sounds kind of compelling.

This sounds kind of like The Good Doctor. I only watched a bit of the first season tho.

TiredSnowball
This is the best outcome of fanfic written a 16-year old.
THRILLHOUSE69
Second best if you consider they could've written vore instead
SkyHighInc
Depending on who you ask.
SheepySleepySmuggler
I feel "best" downplays the gulf between what is described here and some fanfic regardless of the age of the writer. It's like saying the Mariana Trench is deep.
TiredSnowball
Even if it's the worst fancfic in the universe, if in the process of "research" the writer inadvertently helped bunch of people, even if it's in small ways, I consider this as a positive.
SheepySleepySmuggler
Maybe my comment was misunderstood - I think this is amazing. Compared to some fanfic that is very much not amazing resulting in a huge gulf in quality between them.
Runnerdent
Sometimes it's in the small bits that makes the puzzle complete.

I’ve had a bad immune system my whole life so I know basically what to do with any and every common illness or health issue. Friends would just come to me asking for advice and I’d help them or tell them what specialist they should see for their problems. Most don’t know they should only buy vitamins that are USP-verified
Boom9001
In fairness as long as your stick to the most common pharmacy brands they'll be that. The issue is if you buy any from like "nutritionists" they often aim for more "natural" brands which are not regulated and can often have too much or too little of the substance they intend to deliver.
Ijustwantquiet
How do you tell a vitamin or supplement is USP verified? Been searching for some and turning up manufacturers with the word verified but thats as close as it comes.
Einstein9073
Some people, like me for instance, assume that any drug or medicine available on store shelves has passed some sort of rigorous Quality Control process

i must be going dyslexic because i was straight up baffled why united parcel services would verify vitamins

Have you ruled out lupus?
kgirl924
I have a stuffed dog named Lupus because I once spent a week very sick in the hospital in my early 20s and my mother got me a stuffed dog as a get well present. She wanted to name the dog Lupus because we had watched House together quite a bit, and I was VERY out of it/ confused from being so sick I didn't have the thought to stop her from naming a stuffed dog after a serious medical condition. 🤣

lupus (n.)
late 14c., used of several diseases that cause ulcerations of the skin, from Medieval Latin lupus, from Latin lupus "wolf" (see wolf (n.)), apparently because it "devours" the affected part. As the name of a southern constellation representing a wolf, by 1706.
also from late 14c.

Can you elaborate on that vitamin bit?
LupusLilium
Vitamins and 'vitamins' are often unregulated due to their very nature. They're not a medication but instead a 'supplement' and thus don't need rigorous testing by the FDA to hit the market. It's the same reason why I can't believe people buy things like protein powder in bulk from sketchy places. Literally any place can slap a label with a list of BS ingredients while selling 80% sawdust.
Override9636
In the US, vitamins aren't regulated by the FDA. That's why every podcast out there is trying to sell them, because legally they're not selling medication. Hell they're not even guaranteed to provide the actual vitamins that are advertised in the bottle.
DaveTheScientist
Yuuuuip. So very much of the vitamin + supplement industry is pure, unadulterated bullshit. 1 The products very often are not what they claim. 2 The products very often do not have the health effects claimed. 3 even if the product is pure, if it does cause the health effects claimed, the majority of people simply don't need those effects, so the products do nothing.
Vergenbuurg
Shit... now I'm paranoid and am gonna check my multivitamin gummies when I get home.
Override9636
A good rule of thumb is, unless you've been tested to have a deficiency and your doctor specifically recommended it, buying vitamin supplements is just making expensive pee.
Mairoa
Unless you've got a weird ass condition like fibromyalgia, where the most random shit helps for reasons that are very *shrug*
sunyudai
Not OC here, but the USP-Verified mark meas the product has been independently verified to meet the United States Pharmacopeial Convention's (USP) standards. Basically, it means an independent audit found that the manufacturing process is to code, the product contains the ingredients listed in the label in the correct proportions, the product does not contain harmful levels of contaminants (like pesticides), and the product is metabolized within the correct time-frame.
ZippidyDoo
What about Canadian vitamins :)
sunyudai
Basically, it means it's been verified to be safe and to contain what it says it has.

AKA worthless once RFK Jr. Becomes head of the FDA
SmoeAhsolse
While he can go od on ivermectin, I don't think that the USP is part of the FDA.
whyaminotsleeping
The USP isn’t a department. It’s a reference (dictionary) that defines the properties of anything that wants to use the USP label. As mentioned earlier, the label coveys an expected level of quality and purity. The FDA is the regulatory body overseeing the manufacturing of said products. That said, vitamins generally have much lower standards as they are not considered “treatment” for a disease like a medicine.

I actually met somebody with lupus once. When they told me that they had lupus, without thinking, I said “it’s never lupus“ which got them to laugh.

My father died of complications of lupus. I know a lot about it. It was years ago.
