Opinion | Being a Doctor Will Never Be the Same After A.I. (Gift Article)
I’m confident in my mastery over what doctors do — and less confident about my continued mastery of an ever-evolving universe of facts.

I suspect that has a high likelihood of landing in that 54.8%—and a hospital stay might offset the cost-savings of the garage-based procedure

At the gym listening to EM:RAP to flex my brain muscles when suddenly the MCW Trauma Service (Blank, DeMoya, et al) gets a shout out for their work on pneumothoraces! Proud to have trained with some of the best in their fields #medsky #mcw #emrap

My fiancé and I have a long-running joke about the persnicketiness of NYT Cooking app commenters, but this takes the indulgent-but-needlessly-complex cake
A screencap of the pettiest comments section for the New York Times’ Cooking app. Below a post of user VicE patiently explaining that Elaine’s Fettuccine Alfredo recipe isn’t like the others because it’s made the way Elaine used to make it for her restaurant, user Elwood Tuna replied that the absence of nutmeg is a serious crime

Saw some Art in Bloom today. This one by florist Roger Krawiecki stood before John McLaughlin’s #11 and kept the minimalist spirit
In the foreground, a flat, white, rectangular plinth is set with four vases. In the rightmost, yellow pincushin protea flowers rise from a cylindrical yellow vase. At the left, a sharp cluster of blue thistle sit in a taller, thinner, dark blue scalloped vase. Running between those two vases is a long, black-glossed thin rectangular vase with purple calla lilies reclined against dark ti leaves. Bone-bleached branches from a clear glass cylinder stand behind and to the right of the thistles. On the flat white wall behind the flowers, framed between the flowers, there hangs an abstract work of clear-edged lines of black and sky-blue divide a flat yellow field from a cream-colored field.

Had a very wholesome morning at Wonderland bookstore listening to a book reading from author, pharmacologist, toxicologist, and mycologist @empoisonpharmd.bsky.social
Numerous children and pillows lay strewn around a brightly-lit room in a bookstore. With his back to the windows sits a man wearing a mushroom-print shirt holding a book out to the audience. The book is a rhyming educational guide to mushrooms

I’m prepping for a lecture next week on hypothermia to be given at a sauna/cold plunge spot. After looking at the forecasted high temperature (3 F), I decided against giving the lecture whilst standing in the water—or even standing outside.

Too many people want to waste their one and only life on Silicon Valley bullshit. And since you're competing with them for housing and such (since everything is a competition, for some reason), you are forced to waste your one and only life on Silicon Valley bullshit too.

Getting back into some of my old illustrations from residency #medsky
An ad for a fictional medical device called the Zebratron 5000, which looks like a metal box painted in zebra stripes, with a domed circular radar sweep on the front face above a few knobs and buttons with a glass cathode tube above the top. To the right, a comically-drawn zebra head says, “the ONLY thing you should think about when you hear hoofbeats!”  The price, at bottom right of the image is $33,995, down from $35,000! There are user reviews at the bottom left, with Tania S. (PGY-5) reporting “zebra hunting has never been easier!” And John B. (PGY-2) reporting “I’ve been finding zebras everywhere!”

My very first page I received in residency was from a nurse asking if a patient could have an order for Tylenol. My very second page I received in residency was from the same nurse asking if I could change that Tylenol order to PO from PR.

Asking questions along the line of “how long was your mother on dialysis before she passed” may help the person arrive at the conclusion that correlation ≠ causation
