For epidemiology studies. And you're right--they're notoriously unreliable. Public databases for healthcare research are absurdly bad. Half the time I publish using Medicare's SEER database I ask myself, "is this worth anything at all?"

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. I thought the same thing.

No, he hopes that they are able to further their goal of "computer jails" less effectively...as in he hopes Tim Cook runs Apple in to the ground. His quote is as follows: "Unfortunately, that influence continues despite his absence. We can

Is it still possible to be held back a grade in the US? I've heard stories of it happening in the distant past but I've never seen it happen. Usually they get promoted to the next grade and placed in special ed or remedial classes.

What journal pays scientists to peer review?

It's not a "weird meme". It's my personal experience. You may be able to enter data quickly on a tablet but many of the physicians I work with still type(painfully slowly) with 2 fingers. Maybe drchrono will be appealing to younger physicia

Yes, indeed. That's what I suggested to my attending...that he have keyboard docks in every exam room for the tablet. That would solve the data entry problem but we would then essentially have a laptop that has a touchscreen instead of a mo

I've never had a patient ask for their medical records...and frankly they wouldn't understand them if they saw it. It's filled with doctor's handwriting, abbreviations like OM(otitis media), PRN(take med as needed), etc. It's mostly a refle

tldr: Drchrono does the exact same thing as any other EHR...but on an iPad. "Physicians can each create their own exam templates and enter data quickly by tapping checkboxes or selecting from menus, rather than having to write or type. For

I've always thought this was something of a joke. An iPhone doesn't have 1 button. It has a power button, two volume buttons, and a home button. Personally I think the 'home' button on the iPhone is unintuitive and confusing and would be gl

"The poster said a strict log is kept of what books are checked out, with firm due dates." Hopefully he does not keep that ledger in the locker itself or stored in plaintext. That could quickly lead to his classmates being expelled or worse

The participants were medical students--not physicians. The title should reflect that. The gap in experience is significant. A 3rd/4th year medical student, like myself, has had limited clinical exposure(think months) and is wholly incapabl

Yes, but not that kind of physicist. I have a masters in medical physics, worked three years as a radiation physicist, and am now pursuing a career as a radiation oncologist. Perhaps I should update my profile ;).

I stopped reading at 'Lee Smolin'. If you are a trained physicist read ahead and pick apart his misconceptions. If you're not a trained physicist then you are likely to be misled and I encourage you to not bother. Time is too valuable to be

People who cheated were counted. The evaluation of students who had honor code violations were not reported. From his original blog post he mentioned that he did not refer all his students to the university's "honor council". He even gave t

As a rising medical scientist I wish this were the case. It is, quite literally, a fantasy of mine.
