The 'fake' price is due to the negotiation of reimbursement between major healthcare chains and insurers. The most regulated piece - Medicare - is the only piece where there's fairly transparent pricing.

I have no words for how completely toxic the surge of PE in healthcare has been. It's driven the degradation of care everywhere I've been. Healthcare chains have no issues with investment (see any annual reporting document to see

I'm not worried about hallucinations in this context at all.

I think he's saying that his use of the site, via the LLM, is consistent with what the site owner-operator likely desires. To give a concrete example: I am a physician and have a site for my private clinic. I am not only unopposed to b

To one degree or another, this is endemic among nurses. It's part of a broader cultural element: nursing programs have entrenched a culture of nurses vs. doctors. There are literally questions on their licensing exam to the effect of &

I don't really understand where this notion comes from. I've used Slack; I've used Teams; I find Teams more than adequate for my organization's use-case. I'm sure that's not the case for everyone, but "Tea

Boil=and-bite only provides cushion between teeth. Sleep apnea mouth guards are designed to thrust the jaw forward, so as to mechanically assist in keeping the airway open. They're so very different in effect and structure that if you

I second this statement. Russian Folk Belief by Ivanits is a good one.

My understanding from my readings in the field of mythology is that the parent post is precisely correct: Campbell was an enthusiastic amateur who did a whole bunch of cherry-picking to suit his passionate holding-forth on the topics, but w

OB is ridiculously stressful, in an antagonistic kind of way. 1. A good subset of patients have wildly unrealistic ideas about pregnancy and delivery, and when their ideas meet reality it's not always reality that wins. 1.B. You will b

My immediate thought was that this was a repost from an event earlier this week. But no, apparently this is another noose.

In the US, growth charts for peds are already built into every EMR I know of. But even that isn't particularly nuanced: I want different charts at different ages based on, for instance, whether the kid is bottle or breast-fed. The diff

Yes, let's clarify a few things. For starters, I'm a physician, and have formerly worked in health insurance at the management level. I assume your comment was aimed at someone at a different level of familiarity with the topic. I

Way to oversimplify. Some healthcare is vital (emergency intervention for heart attacks), some healthcare is grey-area quality of life (do I need glasses vs. LASIK?), and some healthcare is pure luxury (cosmetic). These are not all created

With existing tech? No, not really. Most of those lab values are more or less worthless outside of context - which is why so much time is spent on training docs on physio, pathophys, and history taking. I know that it's frustrating to

Thank you. I think it's a poor mechanism because "appeared once in a pop magazine" isn't a good signal for knowledge curation regardless of whether you assign it a positive or negative weight; especially when the origina

What country were you in? In the US, a nurse is highly standard. If you're not getting a c-section, the usual array is: OB/GYN, plus or minus a resident or assistant, doing the delivery and doing any post-delivery laceration repai

Skin-to-skin is standard. Skin-to-skin for unstable neonates is not, which is the debate in the medical field and the question that the study sought to answer.

Skin-to-skin for children has been studied for a few decades, and the consensus is strongly in its favor, after a pile of studies have all pointed in the same direction. This study isn't "skin to skin care is good." This stud

I have a little kid. When we watch cartoons, they might point at the villain of the piece - e.g., Jafar - and say "he's a bad man!" And I take the opportunity to nudge them and ask, "They did a bad thing. Does that mean

The issue is, as OP demonstrated, that this has nothing to do with your interaction with social media . Social media was the connective tissue that gave rise to the internet mob, but neither the OPs behavior on social media, nor his respon

I don't see how that would have helped OP. He wasn't called out for things he said or did on social media, barring a few people who piled on over extremely "sanitized" exchanges. I think your "best solution" al

I wasn't trying to make a barbed comment, I just couldn't think of another label to put on it.
