janeadams, TFW you're doing a lit review and magically find a survey paper of the exact obscure sub-sub-sub-topic you need that you thought nobody else in the world cared enough about to collect all the papers on 🥺
Sometimes science is really hard, and sometimes when you're in the trenches you catch a break because some wonderful nerdy strangers have bushwhacked there before and left you a lil trail ❤️ 🌄 #science #research #phd #litreview

ttpphd, Why a cheap, effective treatment for diarrhoea is underused
write up on Nature.com for Wagner et al, 2024 in Science“We think of doctors as neutral decision-makers based on what is best for the patient, and that is often not the case. Doctors make decisions based on what makes a patient happy,” he says, which has an underlying financial motive. “If a patient is not happy with you, they are not going to keep coming back.”
