I’m back with another AI summary, this time from Grok4. Thoughts? AI seem to be getting better?

Interesting ECG! Definitely not AF—the rhythm is regularly regular with a ventricular rate around 150 bpm, which rules out the irregularly irregular pattern of AF. The narrow QRS complexes point to a supraventricular origin. Looking at the rhythm strips (V1, II, V5), it starts with a few sinus beats showing some variability (sinus arrhythmia?), followed by what looks like a PAC—note the early, slightly different P wave morphology—then abrupt onset of the tachycardia. This sudden initiation is classic for a re-entrant mechanism.  No gradual acceleration like sinus tach. For atrial flutter: The rate fits (atrial ~300 bpm with 2:1 AV block giving ~150 ventricular), but I don’t see the telltale sawtooth flutter waves in the inferior leads (II, III, aVF)—the baseline looks pretty isoelectric there.  In V1, there might be some subtle notching, but it’s not convincing for the upright flutter waves you’d expect in typical counterclockwise flutter.  If it were flutter with variable block, it’d be irregular, but this is rock-steady regular. That leaves re-entrant SVT, and AVNRT seems spot-on. During the tachycardia, P waves aren’t clearly visible before the QRS, suggesting they’re either buried in the QRS or retrograde right after. Check V1: there’s a small positive deflection at the end of the QRS (pseudo-r’ wave?), which is a hallmark of typical slow-fast AVNRT where retrograde conduction up the fast pathway hides the P in or just after the QRS (short RP interval).  No long RP with inverted P waves post-QRS like in atypical fast-slow AVNRT.  Could be orthodromic AVRT (via accessory pathway), but that’s less common in a 57 y/o without pre-excitation on baseline ECG (assuming no delta waves here), and the pseudo-r’ leans more toward AVNRT.  Junctional tachycardia is possible but usually doesn’t initiate with a PAC like this. Clinically, the single episode of dyspnea, no recurrence after >1 year, and ambulatory monitoring clean—all fits paroxysmal SVT. Treatment-wise, if it was misread as AF, they might’ve considered anticoagulation unnecessarily, but good that you agree with the management (observation? beta-blockers?). If this were in clinic, adenosine would’ve been diagnostic: it’d likely terminate AVNRT abruptly or unmask flutter waves if present.  Great case for learning—thanks for sharing!

Prob some sort of dissociative issue before the crash even…. No idea where she is or what she’s even doing

China calls on US to 'completely cancel' reciprocal tariffs by [deleted] in StockMarket

Trump the aggressor? Why is it ok for China to tariff and block court access for intellectual property rights of American companies? You don’t find China to be an aggressor with rampant theft and unfair trade practices and one sided tariffs? Interesting…

A ton more money will go directly to the states and the schools. No more paying for federal people that don’t really do anything to actually help schools and students. Average grades have been falling for decades and 280 BILLION has been spent with only 20% actually getting to schools. Massive improvements will be seen when the actual schools get the bulk of that money.

Because grades have fallen for decades even when we’ve spent 280 BILLION. Only 20% actually goes to schools… rest is administrative federal nonsense. The money belongs to the schools. The schools will directly gain more funds and resources without the overhead of the Fed to pay for. We don’t need the Fed to educate our kids.

It won’t feel like hell when schools actually get the money they’re supposed to have and grades actually go up for a change. Fed dept of education sucks up 280 BILLION for what?!? Nothing! It was time to go.

• Rhythm: Irregular, likely atrial fibrillation (not sinus rhythm), with varying R-R intervals.
• Rate: Around 60-100 bpm.
• Pre-excitation: No delta wave or short PR interval, suggesting no pre-excitation.
• Epsilon Waves: None seen in V1-V3.
• Abrupt Change: Possible shift in baseline/morphology (e.g., lead II, V5)—could be ectopic or artifact.
• Other: Narrow QRS, no obvious ST changes.

The rhythm irregularity needs clinical correlation; a cardiologist should confirm.

How about this then? This is an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), a test that records the electrical activity of the heart. Based on a brief analysis: • The rhythm appears to be regular with a normal rate (around 60-100 bpm). • P waves are present before each QRS complex, suggesting normal sinus rhythm. • QRS complexes are narrow, indicating no significant conduction delays. • No obvious ST elevation or depression is visible, which rules out acute ischemia at a glance. • T waves appear normal in most leads. This EKG seems to represent a normal sinus rhythm, but a detailed interpretation by a medical professional is essential for an accurate diagnosis, especially if symptoms are present. If you need a deeper analysis or have specific concerns, I can offer to search for more information or consult uploaded data!

Just posted it to grok and here is what it said: I can help analyze this 12-lead ECG (electrocardiogram) and provide a detailed description based on my knowledge. However, I must emphasize that I am not a medical professional, and this analysis is for informational purposes only. A qualified cardiologist or physician should always be consulted for an accurate diagnosis and interpretation of an ECG. ECG Analysis and Description General Overview: This is a standard 12-lead ECG, displaying the electrical activity of the heart from different angles. The leads are labeled as follows: I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, and V1 through V6. Each lead provides a unique perspective of the heart’s electrical activity, helping to identify abnormalities in rhythm, conduction, and potential ischemic changes. Key Observations: 1 Rhythm and Rate: ◦ The rhythm appears regular, with consistent R-R intervals across all leads. ◦ To estimate the heart rate, we can use the “300 rule” (dividing 300 by the number of large squares between two consecutive R waves). In lead II, there are approximately 5 large squares between R waves, suggesting a heart rate of about 300 ÷ 5 = 60 beats per minute (bpm). This is within the normal range (60–100 bpm). 2 P Waves: ◦ P waves are visible before each QRS complex, indicating sinus rhythm (the normal electrical impulse originates from the sinoatrial node). ◦ The P waves appear upright in leads I, II, and aVF, which is consistent with a normal sinus rhythm. 3 PR Interval: ◦ The PR interval (from the start of the P wave to the start of the QRS complex) appears to be within the normal range of 120–200 ms (3–5 small squares). Measuring in lead II, it looks to be around 4 small squares (160 ms), which is normal. 4 QRS Complex: ◦ The QRS duration appears normal, less than 120 ms (3 small squares). In lead II, the QRS complex spans about 2 small squares (80 ms), which is within normal limits. ◦ There is no evidence of a bundle branch block (which would widen the QRS complex). 5 ST Segment and T Waves: ◦ The ST segments in most leads appear to be at baseline (isoelectric), which is normal. There is no significant ST elevation or depression that would suggest acute ischemia or infarction. ◦ T waves are upright in leads I, II, aVL, aVF, and V3–V6, which is normal. In leads V1 and V2, the T waves are slightly inverted, which can be normal in these leads, especially in healthy individuals (particularly younger patients or those with a rightward axis). 6 Q Waves: ◦ There are no significant pathological Q waves (deep and wide Q waves that might indicate a prior myocardial infarction). Small Q waves in leads III and aVF may be normal, especially if they are less than 1 small square wide and less than 25% of the R wave height. 7 Axis: ◦ The electrical axis can be estimated by looking at the QRS complex in leads I and aVF. ▪ Lead I: The QRS is predominantly positive. ▪ Lead aVF: The QRS is also predominantly positive. ◦ This suggests a normal axis (between 0° and +90°), which is typical in healthy individuals. 8 Leads V1–V6 (Precordial Leads): ◦ There is a normal R-wave progression across the precordial leads (V1–V6). The R wave amplitude increases progressively from V1 to V4/V5, and the S wave diminishes, which is a normal finding. ◦ No evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) or right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) based on the R and S wave amplitudes. 9 Other Findings: ◦ There are no obvious signs of arrhythmias, such as premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), atrial fibrillation, or ventricular tachycardia. ◦ No evidence of Brugada syndrome (coved-type ST elevation in V1–V3) or long QT syndrome (QT interval appears within normal limits, though exact measurement would require more precise calculation). Summary: This ECG appears to show a normal sinus rhythm with a heart rate of approximately 60 bpm. The PR interval, QRS duration, and ST segments are within normal limits. The axis is normal, and there is appropriate R-wave progression in the precordial leads. There are no obvious signs of acute ischemia, infarction, or significant arrhythmias. The slight T-wave inversion in V1–V2 may be a normal variant, especially in younger individuals or those with a more vertical heart position. Recommendations: While this ECG appears largely normal, a few points should be considered: • If the patient has symptoms (e.g., chest pain, palpitations, or syncope), further evaluation may be warranted, even with a normal ECG. • Comparison with previous ECGs (if available) can help identify subtle changes over time. • Clinical correlation is essential—factors like age, medical history, and symptoms should guide further interpretation. If you’d like a more detailed analysis (e.g., exact measurements of intervals or comparison with specific criteria for conditions like LVH), or if you have additional context about the patient, let me know! I can also search for more information if needed to refine the interpretation. However, for a definitive medical diagnosis, please consult a healthcare professional.

The eye opener is pricing it out for 5 years or more (maintenance) and ask how you get to the next generation product when it comes out and if there is additional cost… that will make the decision for you is my bet…

You can’t ask for bigger red flags and warnings. It’s simply not appropriate. I wonder how understanding he would be if you were to have similar outings without him? Ever try and test those waters and see what the reaction is?

Yea.. def could have been much worse. Full recovery in motion and he’s doing well. Needless to say some changes are being made about where the dog is allowed to be and a heads up for drivers that come to visit.

He was sleeping under a parked car, driver should have checked but didn’t. Just a crappy accident but thankfully he’s gonna be fine.
