The emergency room should be good at diagnosing emergencies, but most ailments aren’t.

This wouldn't solve the problem of diagnostic standards. Let's say you are a pediatrician and want to predict which kids with bronchiolitis will develop respiratory failure and need the ICU versus the ones who can go home. How do you determine from the body cams which kids had bronchiolitis in the first place? Bronchiolitis is a clinical diagnosis with symptoms that overlap with other respiratory illnesses such as asthma, bacterial pneumonia, croup, foreign body ingestion, etc.

Same. My use case is ultrasound segmentation. These models struggle, understandably so, with medical imaging.

What about a subreddit?

This tracks with my own bias as an ER doc. I do feel that the risk of c-spine injuries from mountain biking is understated. As they said in the article, you are especially vulnerable to a hangmans fracture when thrown over the handlebars. I wonder if the ergonomics or geometry of a bicycle could be modified to better protect a rider’s neck.

You can do CPR without a computer system, but changing systems in the middle of resuscitation where a delay of seconds can mean the difference between survival and death is absolutely not ideal. CPR in the hospital is a coordinated team response and if one person can’t do their job without a computer then the whole thing breaks down.

I sent them your contact info, pretty sure they will be asleep for the next few hours

The system crashed while my coworker was running a code (aka doing CPR) in the ER last night. Healthcare IT is so bad at baseline that we are somewhat prepared for an outage while resuscitating a critical patient.

I would use this at work in the hospital, especially ultrasound guided procedures.

CPR shouldn’t work on someone dead from a traumatic injury. For example chest compressions will only hurt someone dead from having their chest crushed against a steering wheel in a car accident. What happened to you is a true miracle and far outside the norm.

I’ve always wanted to have an MRI. I want to know how it feels to have all of my protons reoriented by a giant magnet. Would I be the same person after?

I use windows when I work in the emergency department. These ads drive me bonkers when I’m trying to use the software to take care of patients.

I presume this is intended for wounds in areas with poor circulation, like a diabetic foot or a walled off abscess. The bloodstream is damn good at delivering antibiotics and immune cells to infected areas.

Received mine this week for a service address on the Navajo Nation. I imagine the wait is shorter for less populated rural areas, which should correlate with need. My old isp charged $60 a month for 1.5 Mb/s down and 750kb/s up. This should be a great improvement.
