I’m sad to see you go.
I’m sad to see you go.
Is it actually hilarious? Did you fall out of your chair, laughing so hard you shit yourself? Or are you just performing for the internet, being the cool guy? Looking at your profile you’re trying hard to be “the smart guy”. Or you may just be a sad troll, lashing out in an attempt to foist some of your misery on those around you but also avoid the consequences of your actions. Hard to suss out with certainty but happy to keep fucking with you if you want to keep going.
You may be right a out that but I’ll keep trying. I’ve seen some truly egregious care provided by midlevels who were hired for primary care because hospital admins only care that midlevels can bill 80% of a physician but they only have to be paid a third of a physician salary. Unfortunately people aren’t able to differentiate between all the people in scrubs that they see so I recommend supporung Physician for Patient Protection , a great organization that lobbies against unsuper mid-level practice.
And as for chiropractors? I have little against them except for neck adjustments and adjusting childre. Necks are fragile and so are the arteries in it and kids are the just straight up flexible, they don’t need placebos to feel better.
I disagree with the use of doctor for anyone who hasn’t completed medical school and their field’s respective post-graduate training. I’ve seen the term watered down to the point that anyone tangentially related to a physician-led field uses the term. Chiropractors, nurse practitioner, administrators, etc. etc. It leads to confusion in patient populations. I’ve had patients in the ER tell me that their nurse practitioner was equivalent to me in temrs of training which is absolutely not the case. I finished 3,000 hours of clinical rotations by the end of med school and another 10,000 hours of training by the end of residency. Patients are lucky if an NP has 500 hours of clinicals before they’re hired to provide “primary care”. The training an optometrist has is specialized but not to the level of an opthalmologist so using the same term muddies the water and makes it difficult for people to discern the difference.
I worked with European PhDs at the NIH and the impression I got was that they don’t use it regularly or even prefer it. Small sample size but at the upper echelons of their respective fields.
An opthalmologist is an eye doctor. They go to medical school and do a residency for extra training. Optometrists have doctorates in optometry meaning they do four more years of school after their bachelor’s. They can call themselves doctor because in the US that’s the convention for doctorate’s (in Europe ony medical doctors use the term). There’s avast difference in intensity, depth, bredth, etc. of training between the two. It’s easy to miss the difference if you’re not familiar with the system.
Well shit, I grew one town over from there. Pretty sure that’s right by our cliff diving spot on the Croton Falls Reservoir. I never went in it most kids in highschool knew some “facts” about that mine.
Schwab app works for me on Graphene and that’s my main bank/stocks app. I’ve found I don’t really need all my credit card apps or my other bank app. I check once a day if that and just keep a bookmark. It hasn’t been bad at all.
Thanks, that looks legit, especially considering they got a Nobel for the process. Red blood cells wouldn’t work though, no genetic material to tell the cell what to do. Skin cells sure but deeper layers before they ditch their nucleus. The bottom layer of your epidermis is already made of stem cells that continuously produce new keratinocytes (skin cells). That’d make sense as a starting point for what they did. I’ve been in medicine for seven years and there have been all kinds of crazy claims made but researchers so I’m always skeptical.
Do you have a link for the paper that describes the process for converting blood into stem cells? Curious how they went about it because making red blood cells into stem cells would be hard since they have no nucleus and no DNA. I googled but couldn’t find anything about how they do it.
Yeah, a good physical therapist will push you past your limits. From personal and professional experience, mental limitations will hold you back when you’re rehabbing. With my less uptight patients I’ll tell them physical therapists don’t give a shit about your pain and discomfort, they’re there to get you better. I love those fuckers, they do wonders.
