Sometimes the shame acupuncture is enough.

The meritocracy that never existed is really dead.

This is a major problem.

He's got more free time to edit his wikipedia page.

Chevy Bolt to the rescue.

there are a large number of ways in which the republican party is learning, apparently for the first time, that your adversary gets a vote

I look forward to the trump press conference where gas executives agree to lower it to 4.85 from 5.

If you are a doc and want to be humbled on the regular; work somewhere with high levels of syphilis.

Perhaps making a podcaster a high level FDA official was not well-thought-out?

Public charging (outside of long distance travel) makes no sense.

EV sales ftw.

This is so spot on.

Also strong evidence that trying to implement the giant algorithm is a giant waste of time compared to current SoC.

I'm sure there are subsets of patients that would benefit, but so many of these patients have reasons for their hyponatremia that dwarf the hyponatremia's importance.

I'd bet against anything trying to correct this level of hyponatremia. (i.e. IQR 124-128).

The finding is exactly what one would expect. Anyone at risk has safely cut SNF d/c's. These places often keep people for max days and then d/c (ready or not). Agree re: 5-7 days to re-coop after acute illness. Most locally are a little better than nursing homes.

I really encourage everyone to spend some time with the DHS Flickr page, which in one year posted thousands and thousands of glamour shot propaganda photos of Kristi Noem and little else. Our tax dollars! www.flickr.com/photos/dhsgov/

Is it really a big problem? SNF's have been cut b/c they cost a ton and the care they provide hasn't been shown to be helpful in many patients.

While the nba endless debates stopping tanking. The epl has a solution.

Joe Biden earned far more media fury for ending a war than Trump will for starting one.

"Indian politician Supriya Shrinate said on social media: 'These Iranian navy men parading at an event in India, were our guests. Invited by us.'"

I'll say it. I hate log transformed dependent variables. Sorry to all those economists out there.

Occasionally, you get a review that is so good that you'd like to give the reviewer an award. 🏆

I would like to offer an award to an unnamed reviewer today who wrote the best manuscript review that I've seen in the last ~3 years.

This is a critical argument against the win ratio statistic. This is essentially a woefully under-powered non-inferiority study.

A Randomized Trial of Telemedicine Models of Care on a Mobile Stroke Unit Mobile stroke units (MSUs) accelerate prehospital acute stroke care and improve outcomes. Both onboard and telemedicine neurologist models of care are used but have not been directly compared. MSU-...

This is so silly. So the tele-neurologist wins b/c they don't need to spend all their time on stroke care. I really didn't need a study to tell me that. Whether the -4 minutes difference with ride along to time delineation might actually matter.

Maybe just maybe the Ukrainian policy of reducing the number of their troops on the front line was the right one and the Russian one of slaughtering their own population the wrong one.
Thankfully the Ukrainians did not listen to the terrible western analytic community on this.

This is kind of a super fun modeling problem. Good luck team.

A medical journal says the case reports it has published for 25 years are, in fact, fiction A Canadian journal has issued corrections on 138 case reports it published over the last 25 years to add a disclaimer: The cases described are fictional. Paediatrics & Child Health, the journal…

This story is nuts

The journal ‘Pediatrics and Child health’ has been published an article type, for case reports, that are made up and fictional without having any clear notice 😱
