I would hedge a bet, that you did not actually look up or (prior to today) follow this account. And that you confuse "apologia" with "serious concerns about fake 'evidence' from all sides, that muddles the debate an

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 lives and relationships destroyed. AND we don't get a

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 more about them than it says about Brave.

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 to diagnose sepsis: Temp >38°C (100.4°F) or &l

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 noticing your car is low on oil and, in response, pouring a few

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 other config file approaches. My laptop is connected to a

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 more than just "open this URL" as well. Others ha

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 numbers that drive a whole subculture o

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 part for you. Not to mention, that to many of us T1D, the

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 capitalize on the kind of Son of Dunning or Daughter of Kruger w

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, something that decides over the life and death

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 scalpel, why are you not using it? Well, Thalidom

First, ask yourself this: why do you need a diagnosis? Is it, so you can give a name to what is happening to you? A label, maybe? Or is it, because once we name things, we can treat them? A diagnosis of autism is not an easy task. Opposite
