I've read that this is common with Gen Z, so many of them have never used tools that they are functionally incapable of handling minor repairs in their housing.

Which isn't helped by places flat out forbidding occupants from making those repairs if they aren't the homeowner. Not that those renting can otherwise expect a reasonable timetable for repairs to actually happen.

Once had to explain that his electric wasn't out but that his lightbulb burned out.

No kidding. I hate it! I'm doing my best with my cousin to get him to try things, but it's an uphill climb because he's never been expected to do things. He has the tool skills I had as a six year old at more than twice the age. Luckily my brother has the nephews working on things so they should be cream of the crop in usefulness.

To add context. I had to explain why we needed a Phillips, because she couldn’t get a flat head screw driver to work.

She just kept bringing back different sized flat head screw drivers, Despite the fact that Phillips were literally right beside them in the same tool cabinet.

"Is it the minus or plus screw driver"

She was too busy solving cold fusion to memorize what a Phillips screwdriver is. Knowing tools is for day laborers, not the Intelligentsia class.

Meh, the last time I seen a walk in doctor I asked if I could have both forms of vitamin d tested.

His response "But there is only one type of vitamin d". lol.

I said theres hydroxy vitamin d and di hydroxy vitamin d and the endocrinologist I seen didnt test both. Dude just looked at me like I had two heads.

25-hydroxyvitamin D, often written as 25(OH)D, is the primary way to measure vitamin D levels in the body. It's the form of vitamin D that circulates in the blood after your body processes it from food or sun exposure. The test is used to determine if someone has enough vitamin D

1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, also known as calcitriol, is the biologically active form of vitamin D, produced primarily in the kidneys. It plays a crucial role in regulating calcium and phosphorus metabolism, promoting calcium absorption in the intestines and influencing bone metabolism.

He was a indian though, barely understand his ass half the time. Out of all the walk in doctors I dealt with though, he was the only one who was actually doing anything.

That clinic has been closed a while now.

That and "freon cant cause irregular heart rythyms". I dont know how many retarded ass doctors I seen that said that, at least a dozen.

https://cwa-union.org/national-issues/health-and-safety/health-and-safety-fact-sheets/freon-and-workplace

Employers should provide all employees who work with or around Freon annual physical exams. If the employer does not presently give such exams, these should be negotiated into the collective bargaining agreement. All physical exams should include possible cardiac or heart effects from acute exposure to Freon.

If freon didnt accumulate in your body, it wouldnt have a TWA value associated with it.

"Freon TWA" refers to the Time-Weighted Average (TWA) exposure limit for certain freon refrigerants in the workplace. This limit, expressed in parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3), is the average concentration of a substance an employee can be exposed to over an 8-hour workday without experiencing adverse health effects.

I can just hear WCB telling me over and over again, its not possible we dont even have to test the air!

An AI wouldn't have used "seen" instead of "saw" twice while calling other people retarded.

Sure sure, easy to brush it off that way.

That endocronologist was such a retarded piece of shit lmao. Refused to give me a 24 hour urine collection test or test both forms of vitamin d.

Many practitioners become confused when ordering a vitamin D test. Because 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D is the active form of vitamin D, many practitioners think that measuring 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D is an accurate means to estimate vitamin D stores and test for vitamin D deficiency, which is incorrect. Current Endocrine Society guidelines recommend screening for vitamin D deficiency in individuals at risk for deficiency. Serum levels of 1,25-dihyroxyvitamin D have little or no relationship to vitamin D stores but rather are regulated primarily by parathyroid hormone levels, which in turn are regulated by calcium and/or vitamin D.

My whole point, is doctors are fucking retarded lmao.

You just made me check what kind of Vitamin D I take.

It's neither of those. It's D3 cholecalciferol, not calcitriol.

Also known as HB, it's a medium hardness screwdriver good for general purpose use.

To be fair, I only know that Phillips = for cross-shaped screw heads.

But I assume you would look at said cross shaped screw head and determine ”square peg no fit round hole”
