If a person dressed as Batman was on the Milan metro, 67% of passengers offered their seat to a pregnant woman vs 38% without him there.🦇 44% of helpers said they didn’t notice Batman suggesting subconscious effect. buff.ly/mkWz3Jb
A man dressed as batman stands next to a pregnant woman wearing a gray sweater in a subway car. Their faces are blurred.

“A Busy, Busy Day at the Airport” By Ruben Bolling Genius. Click in.
A cartoon showing various activity at an airport, including an extorted luxury jet, an exploding X rocket, a ketamine enthusiast wheeling a barrow of money to his plane, many ICE officers -- some taking people to an El Salvador plane, another with a zip-tied child being blocked by a federal judge -- scientists boarding a plane to Europe, a medical self-educator covered with pox, and more. All the people are represented by various animals. The story is made in the style of a Richard Starry children's book.  Alt text borrowed from Mastodon..

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

The decision to admit or discharge a patient is one of the most important decisions an ED doc makes. By how much do ED docs vary in this decision? A lot! Being treated by a doc in top 10% vs bottom 10% can nearly double your probability of admission. 2/

A friend sent this article to me today. It feels like a good moment to remind us: the LLM outperformed physicians on STRUCTURED cases. Someday the AIs may perform better than us in the unstructured, messy, real-world patient encounter...but that day is not today.🩺🛟 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This may be impossible in most regions because of the lack of qualified staff available to hire--however, this seems like the best way to price out private equity with regulations that limit profit upside with fixed staffing costs. #Medsky
