A young mum was repeatedly turned away by GPs and hospital doctors who missed the fact she had suffered a stroke, and was even told to get a manicure. Kerri-Ann Wool, 34, was told by multiple doctors she was suffering from migraines, tension headaches and even postnatal depression after she experienced a sudden severe headache, distorted vision and dizziness which would not go away. A&E doctors sent her home with paracetamol, while one GP prescribed antidepressants and told her to "go to get her nails done to cheer herself up". Even after an MRI scan revealed the stroke in her cerebellum - the part of the brain which controls balance - a consultant reading the report missed it.

She found the diagnosis was written down in her MRI results but had not been read by any of the doctors treating her. Kerri-Ann underwent surgery in July 2021 to close the … [Read more...] about Mum suffers stroke but doctor ‘tells her to get a manicure after missing signs’

For years, Donovan Smith internalized shame as a queer person who felt uncelebrated and unaccepted at home. What followed was a young adulthood clouded by depression, anxiety, self-harm, substance abuse and ultimately, a methamphetamine addiction. “Since then, it has taken years of painful lessons, therapy and the best support system a human could ask for in order to heal,” Smith told the Boulder City Council in open comment on June 7. “But integral to that healing has been microdosing psilocybin mushrooms.

In doing so, Boulder would join a number of other cities across the country, including Denver, which in … [Read more...] about Advocates push for decriminalization of psilocybin mushrooms in Boulder
