About medimikka

Medic, shit/fan separation specialist. I fight things you can't see, and things you wish you hadn't seen. eCDC research fellow 2010-18. Nothing I ever said or will say on the Internet should be construed as medical advice. Take it as the mad rambling of a medical nerd, be entertained and hopefully informed, but never, ever, consider me your doctor.

    FWIW, this domain posted mostly AI generated or otherwise falsified "proof" of "Israel's Massacre in Gaza" which were not rarely debunked as either not even in the area, "Gazawood"…

    I am a healthcare provider. Not only during SARS-CoV-2 have we been shat on, abused, misused, tossed into a lethal grinder, driven into suicide, driven into addiction, our personal…

    I guess the author led with this to pad their critique, feeling that "we do scammy things with your referral links and we take cash in your name" wasn't enough. Which says a lot mo…

    Rescue treatments are symptomatic. Which makes a lot of sense, if you consider what (medically) constitutes "sepsis." Any ED resident on their first week on the job should know how…

    When I went into residency, my attending once described any drug acting on reuptake (be it antagonistically, agonistic, or in a bifurcated model) as the medical equivalency of noti…

    Config being a programming language has insane advantages. Not only can I error check my config in vim or Visual Code, I can do insane things with logic that just don't work in oth…

    Arc does some things right. Combining tabs and bookmarks into one cohesive display, that allows the moving of one to the other, makes sense. Having a floating command bar that does…

    Unfortunately not. There are dozens of companies reselling "old" Libre 2 sensors for "fitness and health" applications. BG has joined HRV and other semi-bogus metrics as one of the…

    The lack of a hypo alarm is the reason the Stelo is not past FDA, yet. Luckily, there's xDrip4iOS and xDrip++, not to mention Suggah and others, who will happily do the alarming pa…

    Given the massive scam industry promising health and fitness based on CGM readings, I'd say that already has happened. And Abbott and, now, Dexcom, are more than happy to capitaliz…

    Not quite. I am pointing out, that we're not talking about "yet another AI app" here, but something that might potentially be used to inform treatment decisions. In other words, so…

    Not so much business, as real medicine. The reason people get pissed at medicine is that it moves "slow" by their standards. But Jason M Somebody in his garage already built a cryo…

    Speaking as a physician who works with both interventional and diagnostic radiology -- the self promotion and style of the post is offputting to say the least. In addition, I'd nev…
