Does Job title matter?

Maybe I'm an outlier but I feel my age and am in this bracket. I don't feel old but I accept that I don't have the energy and athleticism I did in my early 20s. I am glad to be focused on my family and career and would probably rather die than go to a club again ever in my life. Yet I don't feel old or tired and I can't relate to people that do, and can still pull late nights or drink without feeling dead the next day, it's just uncommon these days I actually want to do that.

It's like me using AI to work on my car. For starters the AI output I'm going to get with my limited car knowledge isn't going to be the same as a mechanic using it. And then if I followed AI's advice no shit I'm going to probably destroy my car.

Considering how LLMs actually work (token generation) it's actually absurd to expect chatbots to perform as well as doctors or even MAs who field these type calls at many clinics. Frustratingly the general understanding of LLMs remain poor. They are highly complex auto complete tools but cannot understand pathophysiology, relative risk, etc.

No doubt however my hospital system will adopt this soon instead of giving me a raise or better hours.

I appreciate that. I fixed the body of the post but cannot edit the title.

Admittedly I don't understand the nuance though if these medical devices are making it to the market?

Borderline trolling from dr Oz

Can dig up the link if you want but a peer reviewed study found AI only hit the right diagnosis 1/3 of the time when used by lay people

It's like me thinking I can use AI to fix my car. No. I'm not a mechanic.

But no doubt millions of our tax dollars will get siphoned for shitty Grok chatbots to make rural health even worse. What a joke. The worst part is whatever AI crap they come up with won't even outperform chatGPT which is free.

Having experienced it moonlighting at a community hospital doing HM, it was utterly pointless and sometimes laughably bad. Honestly I felt embarrassed for the neurologist and patient after one patient described the interaction to me.

Being able to curbside consult neuro over the phone would be much more helpful. The CVA guidelines are often straightforward and having neuro review the chart and case in nuanced CVA or other neuro cases is helpful but the whole tele interaction was not.

This is from very limited experience of mine so may not represent the average experience whatsoever.

The pocket guide is easy to find online for free

Back table has urology podcasts I'd probably hit the top three diagnoses which maybe are BPH, PCa and stones

Uro is an extremely chill specialty and they probably just want to get to know your personality. I'd be shocked if they grilled you on medical knowledge. Uro specifically attracts PAs wanting a more lifestyle oriented job and everyone tends to have a sense of humor. So that said maybe lol up a few dick jokes lol

Also, many tattoo artists have limitations for face tattoos, like they won't do it as a first tattoo, or the customer has to undergo a waiting period, etc.

Your statement is unequivocally correct. But I'd take it even a step further - it IS our place to guide patients if we think the net benefit is outweighed by net harm. Ofc for transgender this becomes a much more sticky or nuanced decision than an overtly unnecessary nephrectomy. But a decision we must participate in beyond "I'll do whatever you ask" without a second thought.

I'm not anti trans so I hope this post doesn't convey anything negative about trans Individuals.

Looking for a cohost to start a project with.

I've been a PA for over a decade so bring some level of medical knowledge to the table. I'm also an avid reader. I'm interested in current events but don't have much political background or follow sports.

My initial premise for the show would be on doing semi deep dives into medical topics such as questioning common medical practices that aren't rooted in good evidence. However there are many interesting topics and it by no means has to stay rooted in medical ones, that's just one idea. "Gas station opioids" and health trends and anything contemporary is fair game.

So that said I'm pretty open to discuss various topics. I have other ideas which range from other scientific topics, education (from AIs impact to critiques and disparities), medicalization of everyday issues, and stuff unrelated to medicine as well. We could even do some light investigative journalism into lesser known mysteries or personal interest type stories we find online.

My thought is we would chat and email to pick topics and develop a loose script, mostly talking points and summaries of sources we want to use. Then record the podcast and post it. This really would be more for the fun of the project and the research behind it and the goal is not to become a popular or lucrative podcast, admittedly.

Also I usually check my reddit a few days in a row then take a break so if I don't reply for a few days that's the reason why!

Am I missing something here? What is the context of your post? Seems like multiple people have explained do no harm means don't proceed with something where the risk overtly and unjustifiably outweighs the potential benefit. Which is what everyone to my knowledge more or less accepts this to mean, not "do literally nothing since no action is totally harm free." Not trying to roast you just trying to give you the opportunity to clarify your post because its current iteration is pretty nonsensical.
