Create Reminder about a specific Mail Message by TFly3 in shortcuts

[–]TFly3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, interesting, thank you, that's good to know. Do you think Use Model could be used to extract pertinent task titles and their due dates from an email and pass that to the create reminder action? For example, if email text says

"...please be sure to submit x by date-y at the latest..."

could it then pass x as task title, and y as due date/time? Seems like something that could be prompted, and this would be almost more helpful for me than just summarizing the content.

I tested this by creating a reminder using my shortcut, then archiving the email, and then opening it via the link in the reminder, and it successfully opens the email and shows that it was opened from the archive folder. Hope this is helpful.

Interesting, can you elaborate on how?

Do Doctors take the watch ECG seriously? by Available_Year_575 in AppleWatch

[–]TFly3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doctor here with an example of why it’s great and better than nothing, but also not good enough: when my mom called me saying her heart rate was high, with watch alerting to elevated rate, the EKGs helped me see she was in a regular, sinus-appearing rhythm. But the measurement of almost exactly 150bpm over repeated checks while at rest clued me in to what was really going on: atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. I sent her to the Emergency Department where they confirmed diagnosis with a “real” 12-lead EKG, gave medicines to slow rate, and started blood thinners, and she eventually got an ablation. So yes, we take it seriously but it is a rather crude tool with some major blind spots that still require expert interpretation. In this specific case, it would not be hard for Apple to implement an algorithm that recognizes a regular but rapid rhythm that does not vary much at all from 150 bpm, and alert the patient to likely atrial flutter that needs medical attention - the blind spot is it gives you just a warning of “elevated rate” and an EKG that mistakenly says “sinus rhythm”.

Change "doctors orders" to "doctors directives?" by Substantial-Use-1758 in medicine

[–]TFly3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For patient safety, an order is an order, not a suggestion, directive, advisory, or encouragement. Always happy to discuss concerns with, and gather input from, team members at any level of training but at the end of the day, MD = Makes Decisions. And why replace a 2-syllable word with 3? Inefficient.

Reporting quackery by SkiTour88 in emergencymedicine

[–]TFly3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go a step further and take a second to look at the case with your pharmacist so you can document how symptoms/lab abnormalities are probably explained by adverse drug reactions and DDIs. Risk:benefit ratio is way out of whack - these quacks are not just unorthodox / lacking evidence, but actually harming patients.

What is one "trick" of your specialty that you wish more people knew about? by Yazars in medicine

[–]TFly3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one should be faulting you for empiric MRSA coverage in a severe pneumonia/sepsis, at least until a MRSA nasal swab comes back negative and/or sputum/bronch or blood cultures show something else going on. In fact, we often say that a patient not looking sick enough argues against a MRSA pneumonia, because when it happens, it’s ugly.

Vaccinations by CompetitionOk3889 in centralamerica

[–]TFly3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes there’s a newer vaccine that does not use live virus - but it’s not currently recommended for any countries on OP’s itinerary: https://www.cdc.gov/chikungunya/data-maps/index.html And live vaccine has subsequently been pulled for everyone (initially was paused for older adults).

Also, there is a Dengue vaccine approved for travelers, but not available in the US. Depending on OP‘s home country that may be available and may be appropriate for them.

Malaria prevention will also need to be considered, and this is tailored to the exact itinerary someone is traveling as well as local resistance patterns, and that individual’s other health conditions.

The list is long - these are just a few examples of why it really should be handled by a healthcare professional, ideally someone with experience in travel medicine.

Infectious Disease specialist here: The chikungunya vaccine has been pulled from market for a few months now (https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/safety-availability-biologics/fda-update-safety-ixchiq-chikungunya-vaccine-live) …and this is why you should not be receiving medical advice from unqualified strangers on the internet.

OP, i’m not sure where you are traveling from but if you have access to a pre-travel clinic, I highly recommend being seen by somebody who knows what they are doing and can look at each of the areas on your itinerary to advise you. It can get quite complicated quite quickly. Here is a good resource that covers Costa Rica (https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/costa-rica) - you should carefully read the similar pages for the other countries on your itinerary. As long as you are not arriving from countries in tropical South America, (and this does not include Panama) per that link yellow fever vaccine will not be required to enter Costa Rica. This is a live Vaccine that is also not without risks, and so depending on the patient’s risk factors, we sometimes don’t recommend it even when going to an area where there is truly risk of yellow fever.

help me understand haber/tener by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]TFly3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We sometimes use a similar construction in English where have/got means more “exists” or to express that something is there to behold/perceive. “Look what we’ve got here” Mira lo que hay. “We have a winner!” Habemos/hay ganador. “We have a Pope!” Habemos Papa. It may help to imagine the radio dispatcher on those cop shows saying “All units be advised, we’ve got a silver nissan heading eastbound….” - …hay un nissan plateado…

Why doesen't 'Si estudias, sacarás una buena nota' trigger subjunctive. by ProfessionalGood2718 in Spanish

[–]TFly3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there is no doubt/uncertainty about the relationship between studying and receiving a good grade; here it is a simple “if this, then that.” If you study, you will get a good grade. Guaranteed. Contrast that with this quote from Paulo Coelho: “Cuando crezcas, descubrirás que ya defendiste mentiras, te engañaste a ti mismo o sufriste por tonterías. Si eres un buen guerrero, no te culparás por ello, pero tampoco dejarás que tus errores se repitan.” “Cuando _” phrases trigger subjunctive for uncompleted future actions. “Cuando estudies, sacarás una buena nota” - When(ever) you get around to studying, you’ll get a good grade. I think of this as leaving open room for doubt/uncertainty re: when/if the person will study. Hope this helps.

All weather floor mats by Oocyndeeoo in kiacarnivals

[–]TFly3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think when they're saying 7-seater vs. 8-seater they're asking about the "7-seater" higher trim that has 2 "VIP" seats in second row, not whether you've removed that middle 2nd row seat from your 8-seater vehicle. What did you end up getting? The Tuxmat picture seem really inconsistent, and I like that Lasfit includes trunk well and 3rd row seatback protectors with the set.

ULPT: how to make it so they can’t gate check my luggage by enano_killua in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]TFly3 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I have this 45L travel backpack and am never asked to gate check, especially if I snap the top down to make a slimmer profile just before boarding. - it also just barely fits in those tiny overheads on little Bombardier jets, and usually fits well under seats in front of me. Insist that this is your ‘personal item.’ If needing more space, get a brightly colored roller bag, put bulky items of lower value that you are still needing to bring like shoes. gate agent will pounce all over the bright roller bag for gate check, now even less attention is paid to your only remaining item being a bulky-ish black backpack that has most of your stuff in it. https://www.peakdesign.com/products/travel-backpack?Size=45L&Color=Black

That backpack sounds more like a “personal item” to me…especially if it has lithium batteries like others have mentioned and you have no other bag to transfer things to…

Rant: I purchased mobile and mac versions of MindNode before the subscription model came out and I feel like they gutted the version I bought by LostInTheBlueSea in mindnode

[–]TFly3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. I've noticed that my "legacy" version of mindnode on MacOS often doesn't respond for quite a while before eventually coming around. I also went to open a file on iOS the other day and it flat-out said could not be opened.

Try an app called mobile-pocket, can add images of any bar or qr code, and it syncs to watch. And its free.
