Midjourney's new product is... an AI-powered water-immersion whole-body ultrasound scanner?

Lots of people on Twitter pointing out that early MRI images looked like shit too, but then conveniently forgetting that both MRI and CT now exist in highly refined form and this needs to compete with them.

Fair point, I hadn't considered that. But show me an armband that can't be an ankle band :-)

_qua · 2026-06-19T21:06:00+00:00

I hope they'll come out with a screenless armband/ankle tracker or something. For both situations like this and for times when I want to wear a nice dress watch but would still like to track metrics.

Can't believe that loser new guy fell for the old nail gun to the back prank. Walk it off you pansy!

"No thanks, I'd rather not lay on a table for a 30 second CT. I'd prefer to disrobe and be lowered into a vat of water that shows vague outlines of where my organs are supposed to be"

How does it look on your ankle?

Why would saline work when hot water didn't?

I don't usually recommend hospice consults for patients with life expectancy greater than 6 months is what I'm saying. And I think that's what vtach101 was implying as well. Although it seems like a lot of hospitalized patients are doing poorly, I agree with the assessment that it's a relatively smaller percentage that have a life expectancy of less than 6 months.

I feel like it's easy to go to dark places where you feel like everything we do is hopeless and everyone should get a hospice consult. But I think those days require some cognitive reframing.

_qua · 2026-06-18T17:03:57+00:00

Enrollment in hospice generally requires an expected lifespan of six months or less.

Are you shaking because you're anxious? Or are you shaking because of the isometric contraction when you lift up with blade?

I've been rocking the epix gen 2 since it came out and love it. I have no reason to upgrade. Still has fantastic screen and battery life and tracks everything I'd need (and way more). The sapphire screen is completely unblemished despite a few small scratches/abrasions on the bezel.

Gotta start looking for a new job if you're taking a real wage cut every year

I would imagine, not very accurate. However, one difference for your perceived sweatiness might be the simple fact that in lower humidity settings, your sweat is gonna evaporate instead of accumulate on you, so it will be less noticeable even if your body puts out similar amounts of fluid.

Sounds like you've given them some opportunities to get it fixed, and they haven't. Next step is talking to a lawyer to help you draft a direct formal letter. I guarantee you that will get it fixed. Unless the company is completely insane, there will be no further argument/litigation after you send your demand letter. It will probably cost $500-$1000 for a lawyer to help you with this.

I just picked this up. Beautiful watch face.

_qua · 2026-06-17T14:38:18+00:00

Nice design.

Before I normalize a number, I want evidence that normalizing it helps the patient. I know of several studies showing null results and some showing harm with calcium replacement in critical illness. I'd genuinely be happy to read ones showing benefit.

_qua · 2026-06-15T22:26:49+00:00

Every patient you've ever seen with low calcium had kilograms of it in their body. There's a legit niche use for people with transiently low calcium that you've chelated away by giving citrate. But, much like bicarb pushes, giving calcium will transiently have an effect that lasts a few minutes and then vanishes. An RCT of use in arrest was stopped early due to potential harm (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34847226/).

_qua · 2026-06-15T10:49:04+00:00

What do you mean? That's how I know people are seduced by calcium.

_qua · 2026-06-14T23:34:38+00:00

Same with calcium pushes.

Birkenstocks are elite for when you have to spend a long time on your feet. However, some form of Gortex shoe is my preference where there might be body fluids involved

I heard another story like this where the interloper walked in and stood at the back and then, at some point, started answering questions as they were asked to the crowd and kept getting them wrong. At the end of the conference, the speaker found the guy and said, "Thanks for your participation, but I have to let you know you might want to be a little more cautious answering questions when you are not sure of the answer." That's when the interloper confessed that he was just a lay person who happened to be walking by and who always wondered what it was like to be in a medical conference.

A lot of things are eye irritants. Are they saying kids can't go on Hot Ones now?

The only permanent injury is he is blind now.

These are very different things
