   I'm assuming you are in neurosurgery, a highly competitive field with a large number of consequences in any given procedure. How would this compare with cardiothoracic surgery, where (at least in the US) each physician has to publicly

   So how would you go about preventing this from happening? The false reporting of outcomes by those in power.

   Probably going to sound naive, as I'm not at this stage of my training yet, but if not saying anything led to patients dying or suffering, I don't think it's worth whatever career prospects were potentially attainable. It&#x2

   what's the alternative to fee for service? At the end of the day, even if you abstract out these costs to bundled payments or other things that we saw in ACA, there's still a price attached to every service provided. Wouldn't

   Everything in this story is so relevant to my current trials and tribulations with medical IRB approval. I read this monthly just because I need to relate with someone else's experiences.

   I have this same conversation with my non-healthcare friends almost yearly. You touched on everything I saw, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean by: > Reported outcomes are often erroneous or frankly fraudulent Could you ela

   So to summarize you're basically saying to live within your means.

   This is a really astute observation. My only thought is that by showing that powerful people aren't impervious, there's inspiration and motivation for that harassed employee to get up and do something about it.

   Should I move from theano to tensorflow? I didn't realize that theano was no longer being developed when I first starting playing with keras.

    But how can you draw a conclusion if you have conflicting results from both placebo controlled studies mentioned? One with a significant difference, and the other without.

    In case people can't read the article as it's behind a paywall, it's not the primary source. However, to summarize the differences, this one study should not be representative of fact, as it very well could be that in the tri

    If I started selling a product that may have benefited a future employer, should I not work for that employer in the future? Not saying these are at all equivalent situations given the amount of power Pai but curious all the same.

    I'd imagine it's because erythritol isn't absorbed, so it just sits there in your gut drawing water out osmotically. That will make you feel really uncomfortable really quickly.

    I'm curious, where would you expect someone with years of experience in a specific industry to go after public office? Besides public office, of course.

    You know what would be interesting, though probably also flawed? Looking at mRNA. The reason DNA wouldn't work that well is because a lot of DNA we have isn't actually coded into the traits we present. I think this is what happens

    I'm currently taking an ML seminar through my university's computer science department while in medical school, and it blows my mind daily. I'd love to contribute, but know that I don't have the time or patience to becom

    We're also starting to see some law schools not require the LSAT for admission. I know that Harvard, Northwestern, and Georgetown Universities are among those that have started accepting GRE or ACT scores. From the article, I noticed a

    I think you would just have HIPAA laws for protecting patient data (in the US) to deal with. Since you aren't making an actual decision on someone's care, I don't think the FDA would really care.

    I'm not sure that the app is "recommended" per say, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to be extra cautious if you're out in the sun a lot or predisposed. The only other app I know is SkinIO, developed by some northwester

    I just read today that in vivo confocal microscopy was used clinically in human patients. Do dermatologists do this, or is someone else operating the device? I've only used them in mice, very neat!

    You're right, thank you for the clarification and I apologize for misleading. This study did not look at addiction. However, the study noted a few things that lead me to believe that this long-term opioid use is not intentional by pres

    You are absolutely correct. I was just noting that even if individuals think morphine is the best at reducing pain, there are other options related to this article.

    I've read the article :), the author is the same physician who wrote "emperor of all maladies", a book about cancer. Basically what it comes down to is that doctors get really good at bayesian inference at some point in their

    We do this pretty often for the patients that come into our student run clinic. We aren't allowed to prescribe opioids, so we tell them to alternate ibuprofen and acetaminophen every 4 hours. Works pretty well, and doesn't stress

    Best of luck to you and your wife. ABCDE is awful, don't get me wrong. I've always felt it was like holding your finger out to see what the wind direction is like. It has a horrible sensitivity (50%-90% depending on the type, I&#x

    All the commenters thus far seem to think they know more than a randomized clinical trial that was double blinded looking at oral (not IV morphine) combination doses of opioids like codeine, hydrocodone, and oxycodone with tylenol vs ibup

    I'm a little confused by this. Patients can get stents in multiple arteries during one cath lab session. Generally it's a diagnostic cath at first, finding all blockages, and deciding which vessels should be ballooned/stented
