Darrell_Winfield,

Ranked choice voting. A system that is FAR better than our current system, but stands as a threat to our complacent two parties, and therefore will never become a realization.

Darrell_Winfield,

That’s a heck of a slippery slope I just fell down.

If responses generated from AI can be held criminally liable for their training data’s crimes, we can all be held liable for all text responses from GPT, since it’s being trained on reddit data and likely has access to multiple instances of brigading, swatting, man hunts, etc.

Darrell_Winfield,

Can someone explain this to me? I don’t get it.

Darrell_Winfield,

This, in addition to the other comment calling it a scammer cleared it up for me. I initially read it as “doing yogas…”. Guess I’m out of touch.

Darrell_Winfield,

I was wondering if it was a scammer thing. Makes sense, thanks!

Darrell_Winfield,

That’s the standard these days. BLS, ACLS, PALS, NRP, ATLS are the ones I know of and all have ~8-12hr online course preceding a ~2-4hr in person course.

Darrell_Winfield,

In addition, this article is about his “plans” to do this. Not about his actions. Every election cycle around this time the incumbent president puts out articles about his (because there’s been no her yet) “plans” to reclassify or otherwise loosen marijuana restrictions, but nothing ever happens.

Darrell_Winfield,

I like how it starts out ALMOST coherent and legalese, but then quickly derails into unhinged rambling with ACCENTUATED capital WORDS like it MATTERS.

Darrell_Winfield,

This article I single handedly blame for the obesity epidemic.

Published by Harvard (one of the many reasons I discredit them to date, including that their current patient care model is centered around making money not providing high quality care) and paid for by the sugar industry for a paltry $50k.

This spawned the era of “low fat diet” where companies cut the fat content of their products, which made it taste like shit, so dumped heaps of sugar into it.

Darrell_Winfield,

Oh I’m quite aware that this is a highly complex issue that has evolved over decades and blaming it single handedly on one thing is disingenuous. Nonetheless, I still blame that article single handedly. (/s because tone doesn’t convey well over text)

Darrell_Winfield,

I was wondering how in the hell they got IRB approval for a placebo of “I’ll just cut on you but not do surgery”. Saw it was 2002, but still was surprised. Then I saw it came from VA in Texas, and all questions were answered.

Darrell_Winfield,

I’m usually one to discount news stories for being dramatic and misleading, but this one is pretty rough. Unsure how she fell in the first place, but the video of her on the floor with the pointed toes is rough to watch. That’s a hard one to fake, and is a clear sign of spinal trauma.

Darrell_Winfield,

Right, I read that part. I’m not very knowledgeable on the topic, but wouldn’t a top bunk have a railing?

For what it’s worth, I’ve seen plenty of inmates who “fell from the top bunk” and they have obvious knuckle marks on their cheeks from being punched. So I’m a little suspicious of those kinds of “falls”.

My poor Hazel likely needs surgery on both hind legs (cranial cruciate ligament disease). Please send love! (lemmy.world)

Just got x-rays done today, getting a second opinion within the next 2 weeks and then making our decision. If anyone has experience with the TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) or MMP (Modified Maquet Procedure) surgery, please share. Thank you!

Darrell_Winfield,

We had TPLO on our girl. Scheduled the consultation, then in between consultation and surgery the other ligament blew. So they did both legs at the same time. The cost was about $5-6k in total. First 1-2 weeks was rough because she couldn’t use half of her legs, and so would require being carried out and would balance on her front legs to pee. I’m hindsight, it was hilarious.

She’s just as rambunctious now as she was before tearing her ligaments, so it was absolutely the right choice.

Darrell_Winfield,

Endometriosis is a tough one. It presents as abdominal cramping pain, which literally a million things can present as that. The only way to diagnose it is via direct visualization, AKA surgery. I’m not a surgeon, but it’s a good idea to avoid surgery if at all possible. Even the most successful uncomplicated surgery can cause lifelong problems with adhesions and obstructions. A surgical complication could be as severe as death.

If we could have a diagnostic tool that is reliable and noninvasive, that would be wonderful. But it currently doesn’t exist.

Darrell_Winfield,

Much as I like to SLAM journalists for their SAD uninformed opinions, this is a complex medical subject that doctors study for years. While this journalist didn’t explain it in detail, I don’t fault then for being a professional on the topic. But it’s not hard to find an OBGYN to consult on this.

It is treated typically in the same surgery where they visualize it. It’s literally the lining of the uterus stuck to stuff in the belly. Usually it’s bowls, can be liver or other stuff though. They carefully pull it off of the abdominal structures and that usually works for endometriosis.

Darrell_Winfield,

This is more of a fluff piece than actual advancement. Here is the meat of the article:

Hippocratic says its Constellation model outperformed real nurses 79% to 63% in identifying a medication’s impact on lab values; 88% to 45% in identifying condition-specific disallowed over-the-counter medications; 96% to 93% in correctly comparing a lab value to a reference range; and 81% to 57% in detecting toxic dosages of over-the-counter drugs.

Basically, these are low hanging fruit things, not the primary job of those “expensive” nurses. We need to look at this AI against scheduling appointments, determining whether the complaint is critical to go to ER, can wait a few days, or routine and can be handled over the phone.

Darrell_Winfield,

I don’t get it. Enlighten me?

Darrell_Winfield,

Is that the nowhere king?

[OC] Anyone else insist on using the generic name for all meds? (lemmy.world)

Image: 4 panels organized in a rectangle following a sequential order like a comic strip. The first panel is of a man with a very serious face stating, “Hey man, got any diphenhydramine?” The second panel is a grainy picture of the actor Robert Downey Jr. with a slightly inquisitive face and saying, “What’s that?” The...

Darrell_Winfield,

I do. I extend it beyond medicines as well. Corporations have spent lots of money for their brands to be household names. They don’t control my language.

Specifically to medicine, I will note that the generic name actually carries information that the brand name does nothing for. Lisinopril and enalopril are the same medication class, act similar. Amlodipine, nimodipine, nicardipene are all the same class. Those generic names have important meaning.

Oh, you want facial tissues? Why didn’t you ask?

Sure, here’s some acetaminophen and ibuprofen.

Don’t you mean bleach wipes?

Can banner we get banner ads adjusted? (lemmy.world)

With the ad adjustment came these banner ads on the top of comment sections and they are atrocious so much so I don’t bother reading comments anymore. They all have the obnoxious white backgrounds and they flicker since they move. It feels light no matter my phones britness they are blinding and since content doesnt get loads...

Darrell_Winfield,

Yeah, much better at the bottom. I suspect that this allows them to be loaded each time we load comment section (allowing you to be paid for your efforts), regardless of how long the comments section is?

Darrell_Winfield,

That someone was RIGHT!

Darrell_Winfield,

Just watched that portion. When he scrolls down to “yes do as I say” you can literally see two lines above it stating it will remove desktop environment.

Outputs exist for a reason, folks.

Darrell_Winfield,

1cc=1mL

Darrell_Winfield,

Interestingly, he was silent for 3 weeks after being assigned to the bug, then came back to post his blog post and nothing else. I’ve seen this blog post a few times today, looks like his self promoting strategy is working.
