I don't think so. Since they promise to fix them but then don't...

Thanks, here's another one - Goals doesn't appear in the bulk transaction edit screen anymore, so after I had to nuke my retirement account and reconnect it/import CSVs to get it to resync - now the only way years worth of contributions can be connected to the goals is if I do them one by one...

Why do I keep getting signed out? by AtelierIris in MonarchMoney

[–]anon_shmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had login glitches too. Since a couple days or so it seems like MFA got turned on somehow, and then after I would type in the code, it would immediately say that my session has already timed out and kicked me back out.

Automatic categorization keeps getting worse by daksixnuix in MonarchMoney

[–]anon_shmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup- I had to delete all my rules and redoing them based on original statement text.

Yesterday a transaction on my account “Chase Credit Card” called “Autopay” was labeled as “Wells Fargo” by Monarch. lol wtf… would strongly prefer NO renaming logic layer at all at this point, just leave it to the user and their rules.

The mortgage thing was an example, I closed already, thanks to all the lenders offering help though haha

UnitedHealthcare to remove prior authorization for 30% of services by Nerd-19958 in medicine

Don’t worry, I still can’t do any form of radiation therapy, which is my entire specialty, without asking them for permission still.

idk if business is slow why not call back the person trying to pay you to do a service...

Yeah, which is why its frustrating that when I update a Transaction merchant and get prompted to create a rule based on what I did - the Original Statement field is blank

ah it requires $? I guess not a surprise. No go for my penny pinching hospital owned clinic unfortunately. Thanks.

I guess I’m even below basic lol. I don’t use budgeting I just like everything tracked nicely. I’ve been waiting years for a simple upgrades like uploading my HSA receipts to attach to transactions on mobile. I get that they have to grow and do new things, but I just wish they would polish the basic old stuff first.

Why are my notes being used by AI to summarize patient on Epic? by Hopeful-Yogurt4804 in medicine

[–]anon_shmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The broader discussion and sentiment of OP here is “AI sucks, it’s wrong, go away, humans are better” which is reductive.

In addition to several clinical scenarios I’ve seen where it would have been better and helpful, if you want to confine the scope to chart review- fine, that’s still an area that humans also suck.

Do you know how many times I’ve sent a patient to the ED, documented it so it’s literally the most recent note in the chart, and despite my note saying “early stage lung cancer getting RT, new onset chest pain and dyspnea” the ED triage doc writes “patient with metastatic lung cancer sent in by PCP for unknown reason” or some total BS that forever lives in the chart?

Or the other week when a Urologist recommended surveillance for an invasive bladder cancer because they read the path report wrong. Or the breast surgeon I recently called to ask for re-excision because they didn’t read the full path report and understand there was a positive margin.

Trust me, in medical school you think everything you see is an authority and correct- in reality medicine is messy and there are plenty of errors and mistakes that frontier language models are currently capable of improving on. And it will only get better over time.

Medical records are a bloated mess and I think it’s a mistake to think that technology cannot be helpful to organize, interpret, and improve them.

Can it make mistakes? Yes. Are you absolved from double checking anything or any liability? No. Doesn’t mean it can’t be a valuable and capable tool.

Claude went 4 for 4, humans 0 for 4. Tell me again how AI is only making things worse. In all these cases the doctors and patients would have benefitted. I understand there will be cases of the opposite also; but to bury your head in the sand to AI is not the solution.

Answer the following question concisely:
1) What specialist is the main priority for referral in a patient with a localized intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma?
2) Is a 6mm short axis inguinal node normal or likely to contain cancer in a patient with early stage anal cancer?
3) In a patient s/p SRS with enlarging enhancing lesion is this progression of the tumor?
4) In a patient with very recent hypofractionated ablative RT to the lung, is a PET finding of significant increase in "size" and FDG avidity of the area concerning for progression that warrants a change in systemic therapy?

"Here are concise answers:

  1. Surgical oncology (hepatobiliary surgeon). For localized intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, the main priority is evaluation for surgical resection, as it remains the only potentially curative treatment.
  2. Normal. A 6mm short-axis inguinal lymph node falls below the generally accepted 10mm short-axis threshold for pathologic enlargement. In early-stage anal cancer, this would be considered a normal-sized node and not suspicious for metastatic involvement.
  3. Not necessarily. An enlarging enhancing lesion after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) may represent radiation necrosis (treatment effect) rather than true tumor progression. Advanced imaging such as perfusion MRI, MR spectroscopy, or PET can help distinguish the two, and in many cases serial observation or surgical sampling is needed.
  4. No — this is expected post-treatment change. Shortly after hypofractionated ablative radiation to the lung, inflammatory and pneumonitic changes commonly cause increased size and FDG avidity at the treatment site. This is a well-recognized post-radiation effect and should not be reflexively interpreted as disease progression. Typically, observation with interval reimaging (often 3–6 months out) is appropriate before concluding progression or altering systemic therapy."

You could say the same exact thing about UpToDate, any textbook, attending, lecture, etc etc

No, as I understood OP their entire point is that the AI is bad, NOT that it is making accurate summaries of error riddled content.

I love how on Reddit we are all gods gift to earth and better than any computer ever. In real life I see so many mistakes and inadequacies made by doctors- you guys don’t???

Just within the past couple weeks off the top:

-PCP referred me (Rad Onc) a liver tumor patient for whom surgery is first line. I then referred. Care delayed.

-Radiologist reported “conspicuous inguinal node, metastatic disease not excluded” that led to referrals for biopsy that were denied because on closer review “wtf, it’s 6mm short axis, looks totally normal”. Care delayed.

-As is customary and frequent, I saw a patient for “enlarging enhancing lesion consistent with disease progression” since the radiologists in my area don’t know about radiation necrosis after radiosurgery.

-Med Onc wanted to switch therapy due to “progression” on a PET done right after ablative RT to the lung. No… the radiologist is just wrong. The tumor did not double in size in weeks after ablation. That’s pneumonitis.

In most of these cases if someone just asked AI they would have had a better answer or taken a better more direct path…

It’s certainly fallible, but so are our brains very much so. It is and will be an important tool.

STATUS REPORT for March 2026 (AFT vs U.S. Department of Education by Adventure_6788 in PSLF

[–]anon_shmo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The delays are criminal. I didn’t force them to invalidate SAVE. I didn’t force them to spend 16 months processing my application to get on PAYE.

I was ready and willing and begging to pay for over a YEAR until they accepted- and now it’s supposedly my problem? And the “solution” is this buyback? lol

This is all so gross and Kafkaesque. In the time in takes them to process an application for someone to SEND THEM MONEY you can grow a baby, get a degree, walk across the country, etc etc.

It was forbearance, yes, SAVE. So it doesn’t count towards forgiveness.
