    As a neuroradiologist, I see these cases occasionally. People presenting with TGA sometimes have small infarcts in their hippocampus. An example paper you can read if you are curio…

    Convicted in the US of something that is not in crime in much of the world. You are conflating US law with ethics/morals. You are also appealing to emotion by using 'children' and …

    Yet another person who throws around the word 'pedophile' in a very inaccurate way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia There is no evidence that he was a pedophile. In fact, …

    I'm going to argue in good faith to try and derail this hate train. First, I'm a physician and I consider myself about a borderline expert in medical billing/insurance. Let's disru…

    Ask HN: How can I find someone to collaborate on hardware?

    I'm a physician and I'm working on a hardware idea. How can I find someone I can talk to about this? I don't live in a great tech hub, so I'm thinking it'll be an online/phone/virt…

    I edited my post. I meant to say that governments have assigned/protected names like .fr, .de, etc.

    I'm pretty disappointed by all the armchair lawyering in this thread that isn't defending the individual/citizen in this case. .gov, .fr, etc were created for a reason. Trademark l…

    Really? The negative is that they didn't act in the best interests of humanity--the very people that make up their shareholders, employees, customers, etc. For example, it's well d…

    This is a great comment and I have to add a shady tactic that I have noticed hosts doing in competitive cities during peak times... I travel to a particular city yearly for a large…

    Wow. I'm really trying to understand this house price. I just can't imagine who would think 1.3 million is a reasonable price for this house? I mean that's like a $10,000 mortgage.…

    Not surprised. I'm also saddened that the whistle blower died under suspicious circumstances.

    I appreciate the sarcastic comment, but I don't think you understand the implication of a system like that. Even if you have more data, it doesn't better inform a patient's decisio…

    Really happy you wrote this anecdote because it illustrates a point that physicians are arguing about a lot right now--how to measure quality care. Is it readmission rates, is it 3…

    In the long view of history, all societies will fail. Is three generations of success enough to qualify it as a success? I don't know. But it's subjective to say it failed.

    Well, I'm sorry you aren't coming back to this post because I think you should read the reply. The healthcare system has problems, but NOT because of most doctors. Yes, just like i…

    Wow. I am a physician and this is perfect. 1. You just need to read about the Dunning-Kruger effect. Enough said. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect 2. Eac…
