I started doing this for work after reading this here 2 years ago. It’s been helpful, but I haven’t made it a consistent habit to check the night before. I don’t access the todo list from home (partially due to barriers inherent in my work’

Thanks, even though I tried to not look foolish I missed those two for some reason

Pretty great. I only saw s and 5, as well as q and 9 were the same symbols.

Arsenic levels in soil can naturally vary depending on minerals under the soil. So you can get more if say you are eating a root vegetable that you need to wash the dirt off vs less from an above ground vegetable. Unfortunately I have learn

I am a hospitalist and we still occasionally use pagers, but they are not reliable like people assume. Dropped/missed pages happen, probably at about 1-5% frequency. The battery life is great but still my phone can be recharged and is

This is a good article. One of the sad things is that the rates of NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) are increasing in proportion to the increase we see in morbid obesity, diabetes, etc... and this can also lead to cirrhosis and the

In the last five years, it’s gotten a lot better. But I could see before then things are still pretty bad even with epic.

This is not universally true, but I don’t know where your family works or in what capacity. There are a lot of issues with epic but unfortunately it is the best out of all the garbage out there. Out of all the EMR’s I have used, Epic is the

If you tried such a method people would probably be opposed to it because of concerns people would be tempted to obtain it and sell. One would probably model it off of methadone clinics. In most clinics the methadone has to be taken by the

That’s interesting, I got roped into this man’s website which is similar. I felt very sad about him and tried to find out if he ever found love. He was very conflicted about it and on his website he states he was 50 when it was written. ht

You probably know this but for others, Lucky Jim was written by his father Kingsley Amis, who was also a popular author in his time. Reading Martin’s memoir about his relationship with his dad is pretty good.

The problem with honey is that it can cause botulism. Infants under 1 are most susceptible.

I found the one we like: Medaglia d’oro. It sounds fancy but it’s pretty common and minimally more expensive than basic instant coffee. A couple years ago I tried a taste test of many and we liked that one the best.

I was there in January and it looked to be a rotating exhibit possibly? It was my first time going and I didn’t know what to expect and tried not to read anything ahead of time to prepare.

Anyone here interested in Konstantin Tsiolkovksy and living near LA needs to go to the Museum of Jurassic Technology as they have an exhibit on him. I knew about Tsiolkovsky and when I saw his journals I thought it was a joke. But it was

I searched for beef, went through the list of results trying to find a recipe. I eventually got a link to a scanned google book called “Biscuits and Dried Beef, a Panacea” but then I started reading it and the first page had a quote from po

Here's my experience with podcasts, as a mild-moderate user, and it may explain part of the drop off. The first time I tried podcasts I listened to ones about my work (internal medicine, hospital based physician), I started with a few.

I agree they probably knew more medical information, but how much of it was correct… There’s the famous cliche of the medical students first lecture. (Paraphrasing) The professor goes up and says “Fifty percent of what you learn here will b

I hate these groupings because, aside from the generalizations, I was born in 1984 and my label seems to straddle GenX and Millenials depending on the author. My parents had me when they were ~22 and so they also straddle the boomer/g

Thanks for your comment. That wikipedia article led me to watch Ceausescu's last speech and learn more about that time. It's such an interesting video because you understand the transition that he's lost control of the coun

It probably works by the same mechanism that people have used to try and develop cocaine vaccines over the decades. Basically you introduce an antigen to the body so that large amounts of antibodies are created which bind to cocaine and pr
