    I think he's saying that his use of the site, via the LLM, is consistent with what the site owner-operator likely desires. To give a concrete example: I am a physician and have a s…

    To one degree or another, this is endemic among nurses. It's part of a broader cultural element: nursing programs have entrenched a culture of nurses vs. doctors. There are literal…

    I don't really understand where this notion comes from. I've used Slack; I've used Teams; I find Teams more than adequate for my organization's use-case. I'm sure that's not the ca…

    Post-viral myocarditis / pericarditis usually occurs in the days to weeks (up to about a month, generally) following a viral infection.

    I've never seen that, but I guess TIL. Can you please provide a link to one?

    Boil=and-bite only provides cushion between teeth. Sleep apnea mouth guards are designed to thrust the jaw forward, so as to mechanically assist in keeping the airway open. They're…

    I second this statement. Russian Folk Belief by Ivanits is a good one.

    My understanding from my readings in the field of mythology is that the parent post is precisely correct: Campbell was an enthusiastic amateur who did a whole bunch of cherry-picki…

    OB is ridiculously stressful, in an antagonistic kind of way. 1. A good subset of patients have wildly unrealistic ideas about pregnancy and delivery, and when their ideas meet rea…

    My immediate thought was that this was a repost from an event earlier this week. But no, apparently this is another noose.

    In the US, growth charts for peds are already built into every EMR I know of. But even that isn't particularly nuanced: I want different charts at different ages based on, for inst…

    Yes, let's clarify a few things. For starters, I'm a physician, and have formerly worked in health insurance at the management level. I assume your comment was aimed at someone at …

    Way to oversimplify. Some healthcare is vital (emergency intervention for heart attacks), some healthcare is grey-area quality of life (do I need glasses vs. LASIK?), and some heal…

    With existing tech? No, not really. Most of those lab values are more or less worthless outside of context - which is why so much time is spent on training docs on physio, pathophy…

    Thank you. I think it's a poor mechanism because "appeared once in a pop magazine" isn't a good signal for knowledge curation regardless of whether you assign it a positive or nega…

    What country were you in? In the US, a nurse is highly standard. If you're not getting a c-section, the usual array is: OB/GYN, plus or minus a resident or assistant, doing the del…

    Skin-to-skin is standard. Skin-to-skin for unstable neonates is not, which is the debate in the medical field and the question that the study sought to answer.

    Comment #27304005

    Skin-to-skin for children has been studied for a few decades, and the consensus is strongly in its favor, after a pile of studies have all pointed in the same direction. This study…

    I have a little kid. When we watch cartoons, they might point at the villain of the piece - e.g., Jafar - and say "he's a bad man!" And I take the opportunity to nudge them and ask…

    The issue is, as OP demonstrated, that this has nothing to do with your interaction with social media . Social media was the connective tissue that gave rise to the internet mob, b…

    I don't see how that would have helped OP. He wasn't called out for things he said or did on social media, barring a few people who piled on over extremely "sanitized" exchanges. I…
