I would work less. A lot less. I'm at 7 days a week working, I would cut back to 5 days or fewer. Why would I continue to push hard for money that will just go to the government?

Exactly. As long as those specialities hold onto procedures, they'll be relatively ok.

Machines will never replace dermatologists, machines will only make them more efficient.

I've always thought that diagnostic-oriented specialties would be most at risk (pathology, dermatology, radiology, ophthalmology). As long as you have procedures, you will have a need for an extremely competent clinician that can synth

I think there's a problem with MBAs in general who want to decrease costs, expecting the market to cater to their desires. The problem is a limited supply of labor for them, and they just haven't figured out that their business pl

I do as well. The best part of the HSA is that you can save your receipts and reimburse for those expenses 30 years later instead of right away so that you can pay with gains rather than principal.

Remember that the resolution of the data increases with time: ice cores, etc, give a resolution much less than second-by-second temperature data today. Comparing rate change from millions of years ago to today over days/weeks/mont

"Heatwaves and little rain led to rarely seen forest fires in Sweden in July 2018." Rarely seen, as in, seen before, presumably before the current level of climate change. I wish articles like this would give some context, such as

Increasing price of oil incentivizes increased oil production. If oil prices fall because supply was increased too much, then demand will increase in response to the lower prices of oil.

I think it's possible to work out too much: 1) Scar tissue formation in heart after repeated episodes of prolonged ischemia (ultra marathon) 2) early joint wear necessitating joint replacements at earlier ages (marathon, lifting) 3) li

You don't need WhatsApp to have a social life anywhere, even in Germany. There's something seriously wrong with society if an app owned by a malicious tech company is considered fundamental to the human experience.

What's worse is that these false penicillin allergies have precluded the use of similar drugs such as cephalosporins, despite a very low cross reactivity, and worse drugs such as vancomycin were used as substitutes. Thankfully, increas

Here's the secret to Netflix: A "masterpiece" is in the eye of the beholder. A masterpiece to some is not to another. Roma is one example: it clearly is masterfully done. Film critics love it. I loved it and it resonated with

When I go home at 11am, I know that I won't be working until the next morning. I can do whatever I want during my free time, I can go shopping, spend time with family, watch Netflix, work on house projects, exercise, etc. If instead I

I wrote about this previously, but here it goes again: I think the 7 day "work" week is the most life-relaxing way to work. I try to work 7 days a week. Some days I work 3 hours, some rare days I work 36 hours. When I'm not w

The US Senate needs 60 votes to pass this kind of legislation/funding, and Republicans didn't have 60 votes in the Senate because moderate Democrats were prevented from voting for it by minority leader Chuck Schumer.

What about the wall at the border by San Diego? That's a much better fortified structure, and if immoral and against the principles of the United States, wouldn't this portion be worth getting rid of?

Shouldn't Pelosi be considered the hostage taker by essentially denying funding for the single biggest promise to the electorate made during the 2016 election? It seems more like subversion by Pelosi.

If the wall is immoral and ineffective, should the United States destruct the existing portions of the wall already built at the US-Mexican border?

It's not a straw man, it's a practical question. If healthcare was a human right, you should be able to describe how you enforce that right, especially when someone infringes upon that right, such as a physician who refuses to pro

No, I'm asking about how you go about forcing physicians to provide services against the physician's wishes. Maybe frame it in a different field: if programming services was declared a human right, how would you go about ensuring

How do you compel physicians to treat someone who comes to them asking for services? If a physician refuses to perform a knee replacement, for instance, because a patient does not want to pay for it, does the government step in and force th

For those who think this will revolutionize medicine, it won't. ECG analysis is a tiny part of diagnostics, and can only give a very limited amount of information for most people, and for the small number of people who absolutely need
