This is interesting to me. I've done basically no configuring (except frequent use of a "site:reddit.com" lens) and it's been great. Now when I see Google or Bing results it's jarring how bad they seem.

This! I see this all the time in medicine.

Can't wait for the overpriced, late, outdated Oracle to get deployed at the VA! We get to go from one bad EHR to another...

I think you'll see this kind of thing in many professions. Some doctors, who are highly specialized and highly trained in their field, act like they should automatically be great at skills they barely have experience with, and then get frustrated when they don't immediately excel or when people with less impressive credentials end up being better at something.

My family member who taught flying to hobbyist pilots always said physicians were the most dangerous students because of their "know-it-all" attitude.

I completely agree. I've never read a 1-star (to me) book because that implies it's unreadable, and anything good enough to keep my attention room is generally 4-stars and rarely 5-stars. I bet if I look at my Goodreads it's 60% 4s, 30% 3s, and 10% 5s

Late to the party, but I know of at least two highly-paid coworkers that already had plans to retire, but are now just hoping for several months of extra pay (it's essentially the only situation where I would recommend someone take this offer-- if it works out, great for them; if it doesn't, well they were going to leave anyway)

This is such an interesting perspective that I've never thought about. Thanks!

This doesn't change the fact that bidets in the US are only in a vanishingly small percentage of homes. As an example, while not at all scientific, open up Zillow or Redfin and look at any random property and see if there's a bidet.

You honestly think there are 10s of millions of people wanting a decongestant in the United States without ID? This is ridiculous and I agree with the other commenter, a bit hyperbolic.

This article (and many like it) often mention how intuitive and speedy the Dept. of Veterans Affair EMR is. I can guarantee not a single one of these authors has ever used it. CPRS (the VA's EMR) is easily one of the biggest reasons physicians don't want to work at the VA, and most facilities have fewer patients per team (compared to academic or community hospitals) because of how much extra effort is required to use it. It is just startlingly bad.

I think you are mistaken: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_shock

"Shell shock is a word that originated during World War I to describe the type of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that many soldiers experienced during the war, before PTSD was officially recognized."
