I really don't understand how you can read 14A and not be convinced that birthright citizenship is the law. Like it's plain as day. How do they purport to lawyer their way past the plain language?

Writing an M/EEG analysis suite from scratch kinda sucks/kinda rules but I need analysis to go ahead so we're switching to MNE-Python. Thank God there's signal analysis software out there that doesn't use a suck-ass language like Matlab

Grand rounds presenter talked about how AI can help you write your scientific paper and how AI can help you read a scientific paper and when I asked okay well then what's the paper really for they totally missed the point

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today issuu.com/idsnews/docs...

Perhaps it's the realization that your body is more brittle than it used to be and falls are therefore potentially more catastrophic I mean, that's what it is for me

When patients say "that should be in your records" it is tempting to point out that different hospital systems rarely play well with record sharing but I'm a little scared to admit the real reason I'm asking them for the details of their illness is because I don't always believe the records

Me: and thus this patient's epilepsy is related to their traumatic brain injury Some doctor doing an "independent medical examination"for the insurance company: I am an idiot and don't know much about epilepsy but I am denying that this exists

You can't just recapitulate the history of present illness in the assessment and plan. It's there for summarization and, well, ASSESSMENT

Interesting seizures on this patient. Spectrogram shows two waves of fast activity for each seizure.

I don't think people understand how much medical doctors have to rely on good faith by patients. We don't have tricorders that instantly tell us what's wrong

Yes we're in a smaller city but the big hospital does have a university affiliation and plenty of smart docs so I just don't understand the parochial, incurious, and feckless nature of consultants there

Some languages allow you to express how you came by the information in a statement. As in, "he hit her (so she said)" versus "he hit her (I saw it)." But using grammar/syntax. This would be beautiful in medical notes.

Once more the residents are afraid to call a diagnosis what it is and just describe the symptoms in their A&P
