An honest question: do you think it’s the information-seeking behavior that is the problem, or that the information-seeking is a manifestation of a different behavior (e.g., procrastination)? I find that with a lot of people it’s procrastin

At six years out, it’s unclear where the asteroid will strike. You think Americans will throw their national budget behind doing “amazing things” for the Caribbean?

This is true. Since my first child was born and I suddenly had the responsibility of modeling conversation so that they could learn to speak, I became acutely aware of my and my wife’s inclination towards comfortable silences.

My experience mirrors yours exactly. And as of about two years ago, Apple maps has been more than sufficient as a replacement - they’re actually better now, in my opinion.

The problem with the way doc hours are handled is: there's zero back-up. Whether private practice or group or hospital, everyone is utilized at maximum. I had a colleague once get terrible food poisoning - and had to come in anyway.

A lot of responses along the lines of “and HOW would Apple have done this?” Google pays Apple how much every year to remain their search engine of choice? Their corporate relationship isn’t exactly distant.

I agree their content surfacing / organization was terrible. You couldn’t just find content from Person; hell, you couldn’t find your own. You literally had to google work-arounds on how to find the set of your -own- posts. Talk about

This article ends right before the actual interesting part begins. Janitor takes some food his company produces, adds spices, makes a shitty pitch deck and profit? Cool, but... this could have easily happened in a dozen different configurat

There is such a series of studies - but they were all done by the same PI, who has built his career on redefining "sociopathy" over-broadly, more or less to enable him to have headlines like "20% of CEOs are sociopaths!"

I don't think they did, and I don't think you did (please read my tone with generosity; that's not meant to be an attack.) I don't believe the feedback they got was that they should be charging, and they aren't yet

Most adjuncts - heck, most people - are not capable of moving around the country chasing low-paying, often part-time jobs. When you’re geographically locked, the universities become effective monopsonies everywhere but NY, Boston, etc

I’ve got two from the hospital: After a couple of trainees in our area committed suicide, there was a cry and a hue about attending to trainee mental health. Our hospital took this to heart, and decided: they’d hold a resident mental health

Was at a place that did something similar, but at least they replaced it with free (if crappy) coffee and giant bowls of fruit. I actually appreciated it, even if it was a touch “we want to pay lower Health insurance premiums” paternalistic

Urgent Care centers do not have hospital privileges and cannot admit to the hospital. If they think you need hospitalization, they send you to the ER. Bypassing the ER is a good way to have your insurer try and deny coverage, since you’re g

It depends on how many hours they've practiced. Initially, under a physician. Eventually, completely independent. The article describes the second doc as a "collaborating physician," but I went to the underlying court documen

Most adjuncts are in the business of selling their services to effective monopsonies. Oligopolies, at best. Free market economics don’t exonerate the result.

The sloppy, inaccurate article said that. The court ruling the article purports to be describing did not. The actual court ruling says the following: " They disagree about which diagnostic information Simon shared with Dinter.

The NP in this story is one of the people that fucked up. A, because she should have sent them to the ED. B, because hospitalists have nothing to do with the ED, and she was trying to /bypass/ the ED. C, because she didn't ne

I don't want to spam the thread by posting my comment all over it, so I'll ask you to read it downthread. The article highly mis-represents appropriate and routine procedure; the statement that the hospitalist here had the "p

So, without actually seeing the medical record, it's hard for any outsider to have a meaningful insight into this case. I'll make a few generalizations, though, based on what I can glean from the article: 1. "Admission to t

Mother Theresa's saintly work involved providing healthcare for the indigent and overlooked. Her criticisms involve withholding pain relief from those people for religious reasons. That's not an unrelated "whataboutism?"
