If you are a millennial when you were little if you skinned a knee or cut yourself your mom or grandmaw, gave you a hug and a Band-Aid with a cartoon on it.

If you are GenX you tried to hide your wound because they gave you this shit. It burned like f--k and did absolutely nothing to heal a wound.

If you've ever wondered why GenX is hard AF and has trust issues, this is just one of many reasons why. 👇

It’s illegal now. “FDA banned mercury containing merthiolate in over the counter products in the late 1990s “ But I bet it prevented a lot of infections in the pre-antibiotic era.

Interessante como a geração influencia a percepção do tratamento de feridas. Isso me lembra da importância da privacidade na coleta de dados de saúde, especialmente com o uso de IA em diagnósticos.
