Because a for profit business is ... for profit. If they manage to stay in the black, I’m “donating” my money into investors’ pockets. If they stay in the red, my donation is meaningless because they’re death spiraling anyway. No, thank you

Anki is king of med schools, and was huge among my classmates back then. The first thing you learn after failing to use it right for a while: Anki is for retention, not learning. If you haven’t internalized what you’re flashcarding, it’s no

No, that’s not a thing here. Your American was pulling stuff out of his keister. Many Americans don’t learn to properly use a knife and fork because of the ubiquity of fast food - many of us never really have to. Go to a part of the country

Showing you adhered to protocol is a valid defense. The problem is twofold: (1) Your insurer will usually prefer to settle rather than go to court, it's cheaper, so fuck your defense. (2) You still take the reputational and emotional

I don’t understand this common response at all. If I prescribe penicillin to a patient with a pcn allergy, the fact that I “uncovered an underlying flaw” is irrelevant. Pcn is dangerous to them and should not be prescribed to them. This is
