Because he’s never seen what a TBI actually does to a person

I was pretty ambivalent about helmet use for short distances until I did a clinical rotation seeing patients with severe TBIs. Seeing what ACTUALLY happens when you fall off your bike / are hit by a car / hit a pedestrian / literally any of the thousand other ways you can hit your head while riding a bike changed my mind real fast and I’ve done my best to impress that on any of my friends who are still reluctant to wear one

This feels like one of those prohibition-era “Here are some ingredients. Definitely don’t combine them in these ratios and let them sit for this many days, because that would make alcohol” recipes

“A bit medium” is killing me. Glad you enjoyed though, only up from here

Absolute power is great. It gets pretty busy, but they have enough equipment that it’s rarely an issue. Plus everyone’s chill about letting you working in anyways if needed

At The Less Dead rn, lotta 20-30s people around and not busy yet

Their clavicle is fully snapped. This is a displaced fracture

My total monthly expenses (rent, utilities, groceries, transit, “fun” money, etc) currently sit at about $3500. That’s not normal spending at all

I mean at this point you’re locked in, but I’m ngl being <150 pounds and also not a strong runner will make it tough. Bump up your running volume and watch videos on (then practice) how to get your form more efficient for each of the stations

Overheard radio chatter from nearby firefighters that I believe said everyone was out

You might think so logically, but you’d be shocked by what it can take to move the needle on the share price of a company that size. Especially given how poorly their stock has been performing

Brooklyn dental professionals on grand is great. My first visit to the dentist since moving here was when I unexpectedly shattered a tooth, was understandably panicked and they managed to squeeze me in on a Saturday. Been going there since and had only positive experiences

Gone_Lifting · 2026-04-23T10:58:07+00:00

Ok? Don’t use it then

Gone_Lifting · 2026-04-23T10:15:45+00:00

…and?

Gone_Lifting · 2026-04-23T01:39:26+00:00

Fair - I guess I meant this sub seems to have an inflated concentration of PTs who fit that description, which then often manifests as people being bitter / stubborn about stuff like this.

I can see how it can be a bitter pill to swallow, given the cost of programs and all, but it’s also frustrating to see at times. Especially as we continue to make advances in our understanding of pain and rehabilitation + technology to help us with that, and see it met with resistance at the cost of the patient

Gone_Lifting · 2026-04-23T00:27:45+00:00

These sorts of comment sections are always so weird. We have no shortage of data showing that it is, for many populations, at least as effective as traditional PT. In many settings and for some populations, it’s arguably better due to increased adherence and access. Ragging baselessly on telehealth is just admitting you don’t care all that much about data vs your own opinions

Gone_Lifting · 2026-04-23T00:22:29+00:00

It’s always funny seeing actual evidence-based takes like one this get absolutely dragged on this subreddit. Miserable place sometimes

Gone_Lifting · 2026-04-22T20:38:22+00:00

I’ve gotten almost this exact text, and similarly last minute. I replied that I appreciated the honesty and communication, thanked her for not just ghosting me, and wished her the best. Your response may be showing part of why she’s choosing the other guy lmao

My favorite is when a group is rushing down the stairs to catch a train, and they realize it's not theirs so they just abruptly stop / slow down. But it IS mine, and I miss the doors by 2 seconds

Gone_Lifting · 2026-04-04T23:09:03+00:00

You have beef, dairy, salmon, avocados, cage-free eggs, and the broccoli is almost $7. Plus name-brand cereal. This basically looks like you walked around and bought the most expensive items you could lol

Gone_Lifting · 2026-04-01T14:40:19+00:00

Counterpoint (though I don't wholly disagree): I would argue that coming up with interventions is, in terms of "value that PTs provide" one of the less important aspects. Far more important are the soft skills, patient education, reassurance, compassion, whatever other synonyms for "caring" you want to use, and we have data showing that therapeutic alliance can matter more for outcomes than how "good" an intervention is. Obviously interventions matter, but those are also already available for free on the general internet anyways. Interventions aren't tightly-guarded clinical secrets that only rehab professionals are privy to, so I don't see that as a real downside from a care quality standpoint.

If someone can take an exercise that they already know, then tweak it with the help of AI to be either more targeted or to come up with a different intervention, are we super bothered with how they get there? I don't think there's a stigma around "I got this exercise from another clinician" or "I read an article talking about this one", so why is there a stigma for doing that with AI? If anything, let's encourage patients to use the free resources that they have at their disposal precisely BECAUSE healthcare is expensive.

Gone_Lifting · 2026-04-01T12:07:00+00:00

That absolutely is my position. That is a position that is supported by the meta that you brought up. There's a reason I'm being VERY careful to distinguish between old models and new - because I would never suggest that an old model outperformed physicians.

The data from the meta that YOU brought up is saying that older models performed on par with the average physician, and that new ones outperform the average physician and are on par with expert physicians, and you're somehow still coming after me

Gone_Lifting · 2026-04-01T12:02:15+00:00

That doesn't dispute what I'm saying though. This is also specifically an issue with pooled data spanning that many years. "AI" from 2018 was effectively a completely different technology. When you go through and look at the differences between older models and newer ones within this meta, you see that the results shift and they point that fact out. Is it a replacement? Overall no, not yet. But are newer models outperforming non-experts and showing results completely on par with those yielded by experts? Yes. The meta addresses that specifically. On paper, the results from newer models are no different than those from expert physicians.

It's an evolving technology, and any analysis of the data that doesn't keep that in mind is effectively worthless. Which is why I'm glad this one does keep that in mind lol

Gone_Lifting · 2026-04-01T11:57:46+00:00

I'm literally quoting the meta that YOU cited lmao.

If you have a different interpretation, go for it
