Off topic …nothing to learn here #parenting #singlemom
This video is my personal response to a video. I saw online with a lot of negative comments regarding women who are raising kids by themselves and then ask the kids to do chores around the house. As a father, who personally has two boys who hopefully will become Parents one day, I would like them to know my opinion on this I would like them to understand that the reason why they do all the chores around our house is not because my wife is trying to get a comfortable life, but instead it is a way to make sure the building resilience and become honest productive members of our society . It is also not the role of little girls growing up to end up becoming caretakers for little boys. As a boy, you can wash your own clothes you can wash your wife’s clothes, including her underwear and that is not something to be ashamed of, but instead, it is something to be proud of. You can learn to cook and clean as well as do all the outside chores that your dad would traditionally have you do. I think this gender society that we have created is really a negative burden on how we grow up as children and as people in this world . After growing up in a family of three boys, we were able to do everything on our own because our mom was not a servant to the rest of us. It did not make us less of men to be able to do this. I also think that what is not said in the video and the comment is the fact that not every family starts at the same spot and if you are a family who is coming from poverty and trying to achieve middle class or middle class trying to achieve wealth or some other version of this, whether in monetary goals or socioeconomic goals of any sort then you cannot possibly allow someone else to determine how much chores you give your children, how much fun and playtime you give your children you have to determine this on an individual level they will not be around later when the kids have been grown without responsibilities and are now giving trouble as adults. They will not be around later when the kids grow up, entitled and forget about you in your old age. This video is one of the most dangerous videos I’ve seen in a long time and I think Antwon should really take it down or consider what he really saying to people. Just my two cents

Saphenous vein ultrasound during procedure, thigh saphenous closed in past. New regrowth of vessels
Ultrasound showing leg portion of refluxing saphenous vein with large varicosities. Additionally this video shows the saphenous vein in relation to the saphenous sheath - a good method to ensure you are treating the correct vein. Finally in the upper saphenous at the thigh we see 1. Successful closure of a great saphenous vein 2. The natural result of inflammation and the body’s attempt to heal (new regrowth of several blood vessels in a cluster fed by a remaining open branch of the now closed saphenous vein. Next video shows how we treated the neo revascularization by injecting a small amount of polidocanol 1% into the cluster of veins. Hopefully less inflammation and less regrowth.

Pain after varicose vein treatment? Lumps and knots you can feel? Here is why!
Video Description: Understanding Tenderness and a Lump After Vein Treatment Many patients feel a small, tender lump at a specific spot after their vein treatment — and it can be worrying if you’re not expecting it. In this video, I explain exactly why this happens, why it’s not dangerous, and why it’s actually a normal part of the healing process. What you’re feeling is usually a superficial vein thrombosis, which means a small section of the treated vein has closed and formed a firm, inflamed area under the skin. This is expected after procedures that shut down unhealthy veins. You may notice the classic signs of inflammation: • Rubor — a little redness • Tumor — a small lump or firmness • Dolor — tenderness or soreness • Calor — warmth in the area These symptoms occur because the vein is going through a controlled healing response. The vein is no longer carrying blood, and your body is breaking it down safely over time. The key message: This is not harmful. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s temporary — and it’s a sign that the treatment is doing what it’s supposed to do.

How reflux is measured part 1 . #varicoseveins
Venous reflux explained in real time. Our vascular ultrasound tech scans the great saphenous vein while I show how blood flow reverses above the baseline on duplex ultrasound. If you’ve ever wondered what “reflux” actually looks like, this short clip breaks it down simply — what the baseline means, why negative flow matters, and how we diagnose venous insufficiency at the bedside.This is the same process used before treatments like Venaseal or thermal ablation. Understanding reflux helps patients see why symptoms like heaviness, swelling, and varicose veins occur.
