That was how I watched jfk - it came from the video store in a two tape box and i watched the second tape first by mistake. It's almost a better movie that way

Also, too many people equate an "abnormal" lab test flag (as it relates to the reference range) with an abnormality requiring further intervention.

Matthew Wasco @gleason4plus5.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

The people who order the most tests and the people who complain to me the most about tests flagging as abnormal are the same people.

Do they still have the exhibit with the French artist's "merde de l'artist" in the little jar? I thought that was impressive.

The annoying thing is the guy on the other sideline has given to Michigan on both those spots, only to back off afterwards.

Starting to wonder if the makers of Narcan have done some kind of underground marketing where they just flood police stations with the perils of fentanyl exposure. What percentage of narcan is used by cops having panic attacks? Can't be a trivial number.

One of the greatest truths I have seen in the medical literature is this sentence in Up to Date about urine drug testing. In my experience, most docs understand there are limitations, but not the extent of them.

This is how people talk about AI in medicine too - it's always everyone else's specialty that is most at risk. Never yours.

And the second thing is that a lot of early path AI seems/seemed to be focusing on doing what pathologists do in terms of diagnosis. Where it could be more helpful is integrating with record, clinical and other lab info, staging info, checking final reports, artifacts, etc. But not profitable! (yet)

Matthew Wasco @gleason4plus5.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Yeah, people ask me a lot about digital path, one of my responses is to compare the amount of time it takes to scan, open up on the computer, change magnifications, move around, etc, vs the time it takes to put a slide on my scope and look at it. Both require production of a glass slide at present.

This is a really good and informed article about the state of Pathology AI. Great to read something from a person who has actually made the effort to actually understand what a pathologist does. www.owlposting.com/p/what-happe...

They're going to goose or manipulate or selectively present the data so that it looks like there is a correlation. These are unlikely to be legitimate studies.

In #GUPATH we talk about comedo necrosis in high grade prostate cancer being associated with intraductal spread - but not always - this is a lymph node metastasis, so no intraductal spread here!

It's kind of bizarre because they could come out ahead by stopping all their donations to politicians and political groups and just accepting the higher taxes.

Funny how he's totally ignoring the key word "legitimate" that he put in there himself.

Matthew Wasco @gleason4plus5.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

What's to stop him from not imposing the tariffs at all (or removing them without acknowledging it), but claiming they are there anyway? That way he can have it both ways and everybody wins.

Surprised this didn't go one step further and talk about how "tough love" and harsh treatment actually shows more love than anything the Samaritan did. Because the Samaritan was enabling bad behavior blah blah blah.

Is there a worry that setting a cap to something like 3x would just give them all permission to raise it by 3x when without the cap they might think twice about raising it at all?

Yeah, sad how often this happens. We have seen stuff like this before. Iphone cables, weed whacker cables, television cables, and parts for auto repair. If they are in there long enough a secondary cancer can develop around it from the constant irritation.

Skeletons thrive in the cold, bone has no thermoreceptors. It's like paradise for them because everyone else is shivering and they're out there perfectly still. No boat cloak needed.

Well, if anyone is an expert at grifting, it would be him.
