Cory Booker just filibustered for 25h against the social security and medicare/aid cuts.

They're a lot better in terms of tracking. No white out, backdating, loss in natural disaster. Better privacy as who looks is logged and requires note of reason for a non-provider to look. Tracking helps bill you yes but it can also help fight if records don't match.

Even if records can't be directly imported across systems it can be sent a lot faster and easier which is important to efficient, effective care. If you stay within a given hospital/provider system integration works pretty dang well.

Paper records are worse in many ways getting rid of them was a big push of the ACA for a reason. Obama admin did choose implementation before integration at the time but that is a reform to what exists you don't have to reinvent the wheel so to speak.

The insurance dildo is a mostly separate issue from ehr.

Other shit has been bigger news.

Think that mask dropped a while ago. He used to have a PR/management team that would stop the stupid shit he'd say from becoming public or affecting the actual businesses. He fired them around the Twitter takeover iirc and that's when we've all been able to easily see how stupid and bigoted he actually is.

Elon just sold Twitter to xAI for 33B, Reddit bastards can probably do similar. Some dumbfuck at Google or Microsoft will probably buy it.

Put in container, let cool, place container in trash. Empty jars or bottles are common options.

Electronic health records when used appropriately are miles better than paper. More than half the article talks about the benefits before noting the two problems that paper does not solve. Which is crossing records from one system to another and the bloat that has been added as different specialties need to input different things. There will always be room for improvement but saying EHRs are a problem fully neglects that they are still a massive improvement.

That's true too. There will be suffering, electing facists idiots kinda does that. Protecting yourself and your community of non-idiots is the best you can do. Find those vulnerable people and set up a group that can care for them vaccinated people delivering/making food and the like.

Oh yeah, Republicans want to add medical debt back to credit reports.

That's the point. Show up deportation. Don't show up anything that points them to you=deportation.

Well they're not legally entitled to work but US residency-trained doctor have those qualifications accepted in Canada and New Zealand. At least for now.

Teams is annoying because even when you don't use it, it prioritizes itself and opens making it take longer to get to the programs I actually need and use. This is only a few seconds on new computers but can be minutes on older ones. First world problem sure but my computer should run how I want it.

I've also never been able to get the web version to work there's no error code it just doesn't connect. IT doesn't know and the Microsoft guy just said to use the app, which goes back to the above. If it's going to be an app then leave it as an app if you have a web version then maybe it should fucking work.

Fuck the partisan aspect, RFK jr's stance on vaccines is opposite scientific consensus that has been established for centuries. Even Trump's first term didn't accept such fringe idiocy in an HHS director.

Mmm I'm interested to see how the human trials go. It's an interesting idea. Remove the sugars that block a conserved target so you generate antibodies to said conserved target. It's odd to me that this works as well against wild virus that doesn't have the sugars removed. Mechanistically, I'd assume the sugars still block that conserved target in wild virus so the antibodies targeting other less conserved parts are still doing the heavy lifting but then you wouldn't have the cross recognition...idk.

I mean you could make a game with it and argue it in court but that's expensive af. That's a bigger part of patenting for the big for corps. Whether it'd stand in court or not is less relevant than scaring people off due to costs.

The friend dropping is a common sentiment not so different from the "get a lawyer, delete Facebook, hit the gym" of relationship advice. That said "get your own mask on before helping others". Dropping a friendship entirely is often a bit much but if I'm liable to depressive episodes and interacting with a certain friend gets/keeps me in such an episode, I have to help myself first. That may require staying away until my mental health is sufficiently improved or their mannerisms are improved such that interacting doesn't cause a depressive episode.

Just become good friends with a pig farmer and a dentist.

Considering the admin, I'm currently assuming it isn't true.

Actual article. https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(25)00210-7

Essentially they find that interleukin-6 (IL-6) a well-known inflammatory signal is important to neuronal lymphatics which are key to brain waste removal. Frankly, not too surprising imo but they do drill it down very well to what cells are effectors/affected. They use a drug, PLX5622, to inhibit this IL-6 activity and see significant improvement to mice where neuronal inflammation had been induced, genetically or surgically.

I'm very sleepy so didn't read into any side-effects they notice or discuss as possibilities.
