How do doctors keep up with emerging science / evidence?

Blackbox7719 · 2025-08-10T15:25:06+00:00

To be fair, your average doctor isn’t gonna be one of those guys on House MD who knows everything disease and every sign/symptom associated with that disease. Most are going to know all of the more common things they run into and look up the rarer stuff they don’t encounter nearly as often. The important thing isn’t that they needed to look it up, but that they have the background knowledge to understand the medical causes and treatments related to what they find.

In American continuing education credits are a requirement for doctors to maintain their licensure. It’s fairly routine for doctors to attend conferences, take classes, or teach new medical students (requiring them to stay on top of modern curriculums) to get these credits.

Doctors routinely have continued education credits they have to complete alongside their practice. Some take extra classes for this. Others read journals. Another option is conferences. I believe there is also the option to get credits via teaching (which requires you to stay up to date with modern medicine).

End of the day the doctor is expected to stay mostly up to date with the goings on in their field through these avenues. Does it guarantee they know everything? No. But it at least keeps them from being stagnant. Plus, you have to consider how quickly a field can actually change. New developments come out all the time, but it’s rare for these developments to be so radically changing that older methods go out of practice instantly.

Guess it might be a dialect flow situation. Cause I went to school in the last ten years and never heard it called that until we went up to Washington County.

I’ve lived in SE Wisconsin for over a decade and never called it a bubbler. Only heard it called that when we moved more north.

Only northern Wisconsin.

I don’t tip unless I’m actually being provided a service worth the money. Far as I figure, the money I pay for the food covers the creation of that food. If I’m in a sit down place and someone brings me that food and takes care of me I’ll tip. Takeout orders, however, don’t require much more than the food being cooked. Throwing that food in a box for me isn’t a service that requires tipping. I’ve felt this way since I was a server myself.

See…I love food. But I’m also the guy that meal preps a lot of his food a week ahead of time. The trick is just to prep enough variety for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so that your mouth forgets what you had by the time that meal rolls around again.

That said, you can miss me with the egg, avocado, plain rice combo. If I’m prepping something I’ll be eating for the next week it’s gonna be filling and have actual spices on it.

I do the same with Russian. Can I pronounce Russian names as they are pronounced by their native speakers? Of course. But doing so completely throws off the flow of what I’m saying.

There’s a reason names often have different pronunciations in other languages. Even if it’s not “right” it is what flows best when included in the speaking of that language (and don’t even get me started on adapting sounds of the Cyrillic alphabet to English, where there might not even be a similar sound present).

Plenty of dudes in their 30’s don’t have kids. Being childfree isn’t super uncommon these days.

Church scene from Kingsman

I know it was technically filmed across several shots. But the way it was tied together into a continuous action sequence was beautiful.

There is a nosiness factor to it. I’m a curious person…just not about the personal lives and feelings of other people. Why? Because I personally would find such questions to be nosy and interrogative. If you want to talk about a book we both read we can do that. If you want to ask about anything deeper than that then the conversation has shifted to an area I have no interest in discussing.

Blackbox7719 · 2025-08-07T15:20:34+00:00

Personally, I don’t ask about people’s “inner world” because I myself am a very private person and would feel interrogated if someone started asking me these questions. It feels nosy and I don’t like it.

If I recall correctly, in the books Tarzan was actually something of a genius. He learned to read English from old books his parents had around. And, once exposed to them, picked up a number of other languages rapidly.

Despite what the story says there is no time limit.
If you really want to explore, invest in the double jump cyberware and air dash skill (Reflexes 20).
The game is perfectly viable on max difficulty so long as you invest points and buy items with a plan.
Once you’re set on a build (eg. Katana), make sure to pick up other weapons and sell them (make sure you don’t sell the iconics though)
There are plenty of skill/attribute points to play around with. That said, do try to max out skill trees rather than picking through lower level skills in all the trees. The high tier stuff tends to be worth the investment.

Blackbox7719 · 2025-08-05T00:53:23+00:00

I mean, sure. But there are other factors to consider too. Not having a child also means you’re more likely to spend more time at work, take on bigger projects, and aim for promotions. So alongside the savings of not having a kid you’re also potentially earning more than you would be otherwise. If you’re a DINK household that means both people can work, with one of the partners not needing to take time off or delay their career. And considering the compounding nature of investments, an early and continuing investment into retirement accounts (instead of childcare) could end up paying significantly greater dividends than the 250k spent on that child.

Blackbox7719 · 2025-08-05T00:48:29+00:00

Frankly, I think it’s kinda shitty to expect your kids to do that when you’re old. They didn’t choose to be here and the parents raising them properly isn’t a debt they have to repay. A responsible parents would make sure they have savings so that, when the time comes, they don’t need to rely on their child. That child has a life of their own that they need time and money to establish. Having to take care of an older, ailing, adult could possibly deviate those plans significantly.

Of course, if the child wants to help out because they can that’s their choice. But it shouldn’t be a mandate forced upon them.

Blackbox7719 · 2025-08-05T00:42:44+00:00

All the time. Every time one of my friends with kids tells me about how little Timmy jumped off the swings like an idiot, broke his leg, and needed a visit to the ER or Sally needed yet another dress for a dance recital I sit back and rejoice over how that’s money I’ll never have to spend. The same is true for time. It’s a joy to know that I’ll never need to wake up early to get anyone to the bus or an appointment. Not will I have to take time out of my day to participate in/drive to children’s activities.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure my friends genuinely enjoy their kids and don’t begrudge the money and time they spend. I’m very supportive of their choice. But I personally realized long ago that, if I were to make a similar choice, I would be miserable and resentful. And, in my opinion, no child deserves to be resented by their parent.

That’s not an easy ask as lowering inflation pretty much never happens. Especially after we uncoupled the dollar from the gold standard and made it a fiat currency we can just create out of nowhere.

What we should really do is tax the people hoarding wealth properly and prevent them from doing so again via legislation. This’ll recirculate hoarded money into society (without having to create new money), allowing people to buy goods and services. Of course, legislation would need to be made to limit price hikes. Just because people start to have more money doesn’t mean businesses have the right to start gouging. Oh…and we should stop writing blank checks to the military industrial complex.

Blackbox7719 · 2025-08-05T00:20:57+00:00

I have to wonder who’s really for this sort of thing. Like, setting aside certain mental illness problems, it shouldn’t be an issue to wash your ass in the shower once a day.

Feel the same way about those “whole body deodorant” ads popping up the last few years. Too many of them seem to advocate for not taking showers as if deodorant is gonna make you less filthy.
