I’m concerned the medical field is what is being aspired too. The number of examples of where standard of Care deviates from empirical research is staggering.

We still lose hundreds of thousands of lives a year in the US to preventable medical errors.
Many hospitals still refuse to use things like simple checklists that are proven to save lives.
- avgDev 8y agoSo this is an area of my interest. I actually hope to one day be able to improve diagnosis of certain diseases through apps. I have widespread tendinitis caused by a reaction to a medication. I have seen many physicians and ALL OF THEM are just terrible with dealing with stuff they don't have expertise in. Also, my cousin recently got diagnosed with EDS she suffered for over 20 years but they just made the diagnosis now. I cannot comprehend why doctors aren't just open when they have not diagnosed a disease with some symptoms and ask to schedule another appointment. They go type some terms into google and at least come up with a checklist or a plan to test for diseases. The worst thing is when you have done some ACTUAL RESEARCH and can even provide certain studies but they straight up don't have the will to look at it. I think many doctors are just getting burned out by the current state of the medical system in the US, which is definitely not helping. As a SE I often say, I have never done that before but I'm sure with a little time I can get it done. Medicine is supposed to be based on science but some doctors do not trust drug companies and studies anymore, as that is another shit show. There is pressure on researchers to obtain positive results.
