I didn’t think PCOS could be triggered by birth control - doesn’t seem to be a lot of evidence to support this either. Looking at the mechanism of action of COCs, I can’t think of a mechanism of why COCs would cause PCOS. Oral contraceptive

Super early stage still, but I’m building a progressive web app that lets you see all of your medical records across your doctors in one app. The goal was to build an app that focused on privacy and offline-first functionality - storing you

Your numbers are way off, but even assuming they weren't, 1 hour of PA training is not the same as 1 hour of MD/DO training.

I think that’s the point, the patient didn’t seem pregnant but the doctor had some clinical suspicion given the presentation and the location of the pain. He wasn’t withholding information from ChatGPT, he was just providing the same initia

I mean, this isn’t new information for doctors. It’s a pretty well known fact that estrogen agonists can increase risks for breast cancer - that’s why decisions made about birth control are patient centric and consider the patients risk fac

Ha, funny timing. I’m building a PWA as a side-project that lets me sync all of my medical records from different patient portals in one place. It’s pretty far from being production ready but maybe you’ll find it useful? https://

Sorry about your experiences, that must have been incredibly frustrating. I guess I'm surprised that it took that many doctors to figure it out because it is taught pretty early in medical education. I remember practicing Adsons Test a

AMA membership by physicians have dropped from 75% in the 1950's to about 15% a few years ago. Doctors are actually not that great at advocacy which is the main reason why counter-AMA organizations don't exist imo. A large chunk o

There are a lot of examples of these "expert systems" in medicine that seem to do well in research, but fail in other ways. We're seeing some of these failures again these days with ML models in medicine, especially bridging

That's weird, TOS is something taught to first year med students. It isn't that esoteric of a diagnosis.

Is the point you're making here that removing the "premed" undergraduate degree (which doesn't exist) will somehow lead to reduced healthcare costs?

Conceptually, I'd agree with you. I don't think medicare alone needs to fund residency spots (its just currently tied to the amount of spots last I checked). I'm more concerned about the total number of residency spots.

by cfu28 4y ago
Doing this would make the problem worse by increasing the amount of unemployable newly graduated doctors that can't practice because they can't match into a residency program. Medical schools have exploded in number the past few

I’ve heard this a lot, but my experience is actually very different using Anki to study medicine. While I agree creating cards definitely helps with memory, it’s extremely time consuming. If I need to memorize several chapters of material,

I guess it depends on the community. AnKing's deck is the gold standard in medical education community despite being public.

by cfu28 4y ago
At least coming from the medical school perspective - there is a huge culture of using shared Anki decks built off of popular board review books and courses so you can read a chapter/finish a section in some course and immediately jump

Right, but a positive screen is usually followed up with a more specific test (karyotype, cvs, amniocentesis) which can give a definitive diagnosis. Also the screen has a sensitivity of 95% with a positive test indicating > 1/300 ch
