Yes exactly. I didn't even really believe I wasn't somehow deficient in willpower until I started liraglutide and the constant hunger and background thoughts about food were just gone. It's easy to blame other people for not trying hard enough when you've never experienced it yourself.
BBC: Scottish nurse's death linked to tirzepatide

That’s the problem. I was too fat to reach my boot straps. Lol
It looks like she had saw a doctor before she started the medication and would’ve had initial bloodwork. More than likely, her kidneys failed due to dehydration and sepsis from pancreatitis…… she could’ve had a cute onset pancreatitis from a gallstone from obesity . maybe she was losing weight before she got on the medication?
As someone who works with a lot of nurses (in the US, but I doubt the UK is much better) she was probably incredibly dehydrated. Overworked nurses don't stop to drink water so they don't have to stop to use the restroom, for some it is almost a point of pride. If she was doing the standard 12-13 hour shifts, going home, sleeping, back to work three days in a row, or more if she liked overtime? Kidney issues. To then get pancreatitis on top of that, which causes further dehydration? Perfect storm.
I wouldn't be stupid enough to say it wasn't the glp-1, but there were almost certainly other factors at play here as well.
As a nurse and a nurse practitioner I agree it is called a nursing or nurse’s bladder. I can go 24 hours between bathroom breaks. But wouldn’t cause the pancreatitis…… a gallstone would be the most likely culprit in the obese. But pancreatitis usually causes a lot of nausea and vomiting and if already borderline dehydrated would be very hard on kidneys. When septic blood clots form and damage the kidneys too. If she still had her gallbladder gallstones would be common……. Female, fat , fertile and 40’s is what we remembered as common patients with gallbladder dysfunction.
That's what I meant- if her kidneys were already an issue due to dehydration, and then she got the pancreatitis on top of that, it was more likely to be a big issue. Not that not using the restroom would cause pancreatitis.
I defer to your expertise on gallstones.
Yes I know what you mean …. I agree. Many folks are chronically dehydrated ….l hate gallstones. I pass one every couple years …….. not fun. Better than a kidney stone lol……..That's what I meant- if her kidneys were already an issue due to dehydration, and then she got the pancreatitis on top of that, it was more likely to be a big issue.

This.They do like to mix up correlation with causation
that seems like a pleasant way to die
