      They have this S on the iHOP kids menu. My kid doesn’t need cholesterol meds… But I gotta go take mine, shit….

      I get assignments turned in by high schoolers with these in the margins in the present. It never left. It’s one of those things that just gets handed down to the next generation somehow, someway.

      I was told it was the “Stussy” S, drawn by making three parallel straight lines, then three straight lines below it, then connecting them appropriately. This is all totally trivial information now, but pre-internet it was sacred knowledge.

      Never could get this drawing right. Do I still need to check my cholesterol or will a tinfoil hat be sufficient?

      Well if this isn’t true for me.. I used to do this and my cholesterol was a little higher than it should be

      This is exactly the kind of messaging that turns medicine into a single lab-value religion. “Cholesterol” on a standard panel is mostly LDL-C, which is just the cholesterol mass inside lipoproteins, not the number of atherogenic particles and not the metabolic environment that makes those particles dangerous. The same LDL-C can mean totally different things depending on insulin resistance, triglycerides, HDL, fasting insulin, A1c, blood pressure, smoking, visceral fat, sleep, fitness, and inflammation. If you want one lipid metric that tracks risk better than LDL-C, look at apoB or LDL particle number, plus TG/HDL and inflammatory markers. Focusing on cholesterol in isolation is a convenient simplification for public health posters, but is actively misleading for real humans, because cardiovascular disease is fundamentally about metabolic dysfunction and endothelial injury, not just a “bad number” on a lab report.

      I work at a university testing lab. I still see this on the scrap paper I collect from students.

      Also get your shingles vaccine, even if you have to pay out of pocket before 50. It really sucks.

      All the vertical lines should be parallel, and all the angled lines should be parallel/perpendicular. This is an abomination.

      this is still a thing kids draw tho.. lol

      my 9yo second cousin had these all over his notebooks when he was over during thanksgiving break and was doing his break assignments

      You know, I wanted to say that you’re due for it in twenty years, but then I remembered that many people here come from the country with the highest per capita healthcare spending.

      This has been circling well before millennials and is still circling. My middle schooler knows of cool S all in her own.

      My take on doctor’s, I’m going to die anyways so no point, people always say what about your family.

      To them I say, I’ll be dead
