This is smart. I'm an inpatient physician. We run into issues all the time where we can't reach family for an elderly or non-responsive patient.

Can’t remember where I read it (and I’ve never tried it), but you could try this: name a ridiculously high number as a joke. Laugh about it a little. Then try to move on with them by saying something like “no seriously, what are you offerin

As a physician who does lots of bioinformatics, this seems like a very optimistic article which is likely just overfitting the existing data. Patients don't come to the hospital saying "I have pneumonia". The come for a cough

Doctor here. Probably not misdiagnosed. It's a pretty solid diagnostic evaluation. (Can be hard to think of initially, but the testing is pretty accurate and reliable, so once you've thought of it you'll probably get it right

> One perceived bad paper could be career ending. I don't think this is true. Do you have any data or even any examples to back this up? Early career researchers aren't well known, so if they publish a bad paper who cares? No o

Interesting, do you have a source? I'm interested in misjudgment and cognitive errors, so i'd like to read about this.

In finance they use the terms Alpha and Beta which would be very applicable here. I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that Alpha is the improvement in excess of average market improvement. So if your investments are returning 8%
