Cornell wasn't really any better. I commonly came across cheating rings, especially among international students.

You should contrast the cost of a CT/MRI here vs in other countries like India or Japan. The funny thing is, I ask healthcare professionals the same question and it is always just chalked up to the broken economics.

Hey! I'm about to graduate medical school but have a passion for startups (my background is in electrical engineering but I've gotten into web engineering for the past couple years). My projects include Synchtube, Epicmafia, and a small mob

Angularjs is amazing. If you are confused about transclusions, give egghead.io a try. The videos are short and digestable. PS. Thanks John for making the videos!

another secret in medicine is that a lot of what patients come in for end up to be self-limiting anyhow; the patients just gets better on their own. in these cases, there may be misdiagnosis in there somewhere, but nobody would really care.

well, part of shifting the liability to machines is also beneficial. in a machine, u can find the fault and fix it, improving on the system so such a mistake never happens again in the future. as for enforcing reliability in humans, all you

i am in awe with the demonstration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZsPc0h_mtM . i think anyone who has done any sort of clinical reasoning in the hospital would be at least a little impressed. the scary part is that such technologies can

Absolutely! As in anything in life, experiment! Give it a try for a week and see how it changes you.

> Medicine isn't a business. but the reality is that it's a very big business, otherwise these discussions about how to 'game the system' for profit wouldn't exist. not trying to disrespect either one of you, just making an observation.

lol, yeah, im sure it works. it isn't json tho... you could also say Cache (it's a post-relational database... whatever that means) is a standard database used in medical systems, but it sure isn't a postgres.

hey robbie, don't know what year you are in, but basically yeah. a physician in a hospital basically looks at data on a patient to assess the state and then make decisions on management to affect the state. the problem is that these tests a

it's delimited by pipes... i mean, it is a standard, but it's far from ideal.

by lucidrains 14y ago
yeah, would be happy to chat and learn from you! i don't claim to have the full picture.
355.
by lucidrains 14y ago
yeah, i've realized this as well. you certainly don't need any medical training to recognize the inefficiencies in the hospital.

by lucidrains 14y ago
thanks! i will try, at least for a little while. honestly, at this point, i think a true disruption can only happen if diagnostic tests are put into the consumer's hands instead of being held hostage at the hospital, and we just aren't ther

i've been thinking about how to create something that can disrupt the medical industry for a long time, ever since beginning medical school. the sad truth is that medical industry doesn't welcome software disruptions. software adoption is u

Ambition isn't everything to life. Being kind to others, surrounding yourself with friends and family, and seeking out new and fun experiences are all important and more permanent for your happiness. However, if you have truly figured yours
