This is interesting to me. I've done basically no configuring (except frequent use of a "site:reddit.com" lens) and it's been great. Now when I see Google or Bing results it's jarring how bad they seem.

This! I see this all the time in medicine.

Can't wait for the overpriced, late, outdated Oracle to get deployed at the VA! We get to go from one bad EHR to another...

I think you'll see this kind of thing in many professions. Some doctors, who are highly specialized and highly trained in their field, act like they should automatically be great at skills they barely have experience with, and then get

I completely agree. I've never read a 1-star (to me) book because that implies it's unreadable, and anything good enough to keep my attention room is generally 4-stars and rarely 5-stars. I bet if I look at my Goodreads it's

Late to the party, but I know of at least two highly-paid coworkers that already had plans to retire, but are now just hoping for several months of extra pay (it's essentially the only situation where I would recommend someone take thi

This is such an interesting perspective that I've never thought about. Thanks!

This doesn't change the fact that bidets in the US are only in a vanishingly small percentage of homes. As an example, while not at all scientific, open up Zillow or Redfin and look at any random property and see if there's a bide

Wow I was surprised by this figure, so I tried to find the source everyone quotes. It appears to be a 2006 telephone survey of 987 randomly-selected voting age citizens that were then weighted for an underrepresentation of race (so perhaps

You honestly think there are 10s of millions of people wanting a decongestant in the United States without ID? This is ridiculous and I agree with the other commenter, a bit hyperbolic.

This article (and many like it) often mention how intuitive and speedy the Dept. of Veterans Affair EMR is. I can guarantee not a single one of these authors has ever used it. CPRS (the VA's EMR) is easily one of the biggest reasons ph

Highly recommend the recent Acquired podcast episode about Lockheed Martin. They spend a while discussing the development of the SR-71 (and other Skunk Works projects): https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/lockheed-martin

Can you post a link to this study? If true, it's really interesting...

Thanks for this. Worked like a charm! (Though I am another user that switched to Fastmail and so far enjoy it)

Of course it has happened and probably will continue to happen. The key is that this isn't a systemic error, but rather providers going against the government's reporting rules (either mistakenly or intentionally). One could imagi

I decided to look into this, because I hear this bandied about frequently (i.e. "these death numbers aren't real because they count even if they incidentally had COVID-19"). Turns out, this isn't correct. Here's the

Upside: there are very few indications for an MRI with contrast, and epidemiological studies have shown current gadolinium-based contrast appears to be well-tolerated (i.e. very low risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in patients with ren

You're correct. Routine EEG (~30 minutes) can capture active seizures and sometimes patterns that might lead you to think someone is predisposed for a seizure. Often patients need long-term monitoring ("LTM") where they are c

In the US, guidelines say people of average risk should have a colonoscopy every ten years, making your point even more salient. To give you an idea, regularly scheduled colonoscopy (ie every ten years unless higher risk) has a specificity

What are you talking about? Residents earn a salary (just google "XYZ university resident salary" to find it...). Medical school (which is prior to residency) is where the debt gets heaped on.

The biggest issue isn't domestic medical school slots, it's a lack of residency training slots (for which federal funding was capped in 1996). If more residency slots were available with adequate funding, these positions could eas
