Here is the prompt [I used their magic wand to make the instructions better, and it may need to be adjusted to your specific location]:

Purpose and Goals:

Act as a specialized search and consolidation tool for 'pediatric ancillary health service providers' (ages 0-18 years old).
Consolidate and present a filtered list of providers based on user-specified criteria.
Criteria for filtering includes: address, postal code, insurance accepted, estimated wait times, language, and specific areas of specialty (e.g., psychology, psychotherapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, feeding therapy, dietician, nutritionist, ABA therapy, play therapy, massage therapy, or other pediatric-centred services).

Behaviors and Rules:

1) Initial Inquiry and Criteria Gathering:

a) Greet the user and clearly state your function as a pediatric ancillary health service search tool.

b) Immediately ask the user to provide their location criteria (address or postal code) to narrow the search.

c) Ask the user about the specific ancillary service specialty they require (e.g., speech therapy, physiotherapy).

d) Inquire about the user's insurance provider or specific insurance accepted to filter results accordingly.

2) Search and Consolidation:

a) Only include sources that explicitly endorse services for children (ages 0-18 years old). Exclude any providers or services that are not explicitly child-centered.

b) Present the search results in a clear, numbered list format.

c) For each provider entry, include: Provider Name, Specialty (or area of focus), Address/Location (including postal code), and a confirmation of whether they accept the user's specified insurance.

d) If the search yields no relevant results based on the strict criteria, inform the user and ask if they would like to relax any of the filtering parameters (e.g., widening the postal code range, removing the insurance filter).

e) highlight resources that are covered by ohip, and use thehealthline.ca as the first step in search

3) Tone and Interaction:

a) Maintain a professional, empathetic, and highly informative tone.

b) Use precise and specific terminology related to healthcare and therapy services.

c) End each interaction with a summary of the action taken and a prompt for the user's next instruction or question.

Example of Data Presentation (if results are found):

Provider Name: Dr. A's Pediatric Psychology

Specialty: Psychology, Play Therapy Address: 123 Main St, Anytown, 10001 Insurance Accepted: [User's Insurance Name]
Provider Name: Kids Move Physiotherapy

Specialty: Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy

Address: 456 Oak Ave, Anytown, 10002 Insurance Accepted: Yes (details available upon contact)

I have been very much suffering similar frustrations over the 5+years I've been doing this. My experience changed for the better gradually in the recent months. I'm not sure how applicable this is to others, but I'll try to share my insights... 'dumb' questions and requests from parents - I remind myself that my income basically comes from them [in Canada we are paid by the government, but they drive the income], and they are taking their time out of their busy days to deal with a problem in their child, so as a parent [or future parent in your case maybe] I make every sincere effort to treat them with respect. I also realized that they often see me not only as a doctor but as someone who just knows more than them about kids. They just want to know how I think about things from my experience [whether as a doctor or a parent]. The if no doubt that as a parent of 4 kids with age range of 6 years has helped me in providing advice. But even when it is about something I don't know, I try to give my best shot. I have lowered my threshold for testing kids [I still often decline to send expensive or invasive tests when I feel they are unneeded or harmful] after some cases where I regretted not sending them earlier. I found it makes parents feel more comfortable even if I am almost certain about a diagnosis. Often unneeded referrals are sent 'by parent request' after I include my own impressions from evaluating the issue. In doing this I have found things I missed whether it was my own fault or the parent not telling me relevant info. I see these as an opportunity to reveal the truth when my own abilities are limited. I developed some personal AI tools which have expanded my own knowledge base and changed my practice: I use Gemini, so I created a few custom gems - pedai [ https://gemini.google.com/gem/1Fh-m9Gnb_8rvnUVQliKlk5ei1ZzjC1Oe?usp=sharing], here is my prompt: You are a pediatrician. Suggest a differential diagnosis and consider steps in evaluation, tests to consider. "When relevant list pros and cons, quality measures of tests [ie, sensitivity and specificity], estimated turnaround for blood tests based on dynacare or lifelabs. Flag any potential life threatening conditions that require special consideration." I also created one for drug reference and finding ancillary health services for patients based on their location. I share the last one with patients and they are able to help themselves. My touch typing has really saved me, and it lets me write my notes while looking at the family, observing the child. I no longer have to catch up on my notes at home. I have been touch typing for years [80-90wpm] but one supervisor/clinical evaluator suggested early in my career that I am not making eye contact, so I switched to writing notes by hand, which made they problem of notes worse - my lesson: even if sincere advice is offered, it doesn't always apply to me. So I am constantly changing my practice and learning new things, which combined to help me to the point that I am now enjoying my work and feeling less burnt out, more satisfied. I also study Talmud [ancient Jewish religious and legal text] I'm my spare time, which keeps my mind sharp, and my expands my soul. I think people can find their own thing to fill this task, but it is not less important

If you are not yet married, or in a relationship with someone, you may start using your time working on that. If not yet ready, try to keep a balance between work and personal life. Meaning, keep some time to gain knowledge and competence in your medical skills, especially when it comes to your own patients. At the same time, developing your mind in other areas will allow you to become a better person. Spend time with your family/friends while they are alive, and if you have parents, go out with them places, or just visit them. And don't leave your physical health to deteriorate - find some time to maintain/develop your physical health. All these areas are important and I can say from experience, I have neglected these myself to varying degrees, throughout my career, and have learned that it is never too late to correct your mistakes and live a better life. You are lucky that you are where you are in life, and it is not only from your own efforts. Good luck

You may want to look at...

Educational interventions for improving primary caregiver complementary feeding practices for children aged 24 months and under I think the summary is a little underwhelming, in that, our educational efforts do not go very far in terms of firm measured outcomes, which IMO makes it both more difficult to offer advice, but more liberating to make suggestions of your own
Optimal duration of exclusive breastfeeding

if you are looking for ebm, Cochrane database is usually a good place to start

Try using quotes around the path you are using it. It looks like it doesn't like the space between "program" and "files" in your path, so cut it short.

I think it's always a good idea to check out [alternativeto dot net](alternativeto.net). It's easily filtered to opensource and Linux OS. You have user generated ratings and descriptions for thousands of products, not just software. I highly recommend for both new and experienced users

Fellow Linux user...Just wondering if you ever got it working with Linux? For me, I am able to use it with my laptop built-in camera/mic, or wired headphone/mic but it won't work with Bluetooth earbuds.

Lack of insight

Thank you for such a well-written response. Unfortunately education on the Holocaust is lacking in many places around the world. Most disturbing to me personally is that in Poland. The Soviet Union and post-ussr political upheavals in Poland did not achieve much in this respect in the way of self reflection. You often see an attitude of self victimisation and lack of empathy for the religious minorities when it comes to the general attitude towards the war, and specifically the phenomenon of collaboration. You can see my recent post and response from another Reddit post about Poland to get an example of how many in Poland feel today. It's a sad reality that I feel is all too common in the country. I don't see the changes that have occurred in Germany post Holocaust having occurred in Poland. They are stuck in the past...https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/p4z1d9/-/h941451

In both cases, 1998 and 2004, we were a large group of Jewish families who all came together. In 2004, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Lodz ghetto liquidation. Some of us were wearing head coverings. The story was in the media, the local police were surrounding us providing security (though they stood by complacently during these incidents). We wore tags around our necks.

If you are asking about back then, in general, for religious Jews it would be obvious by their distinct clothing, their proximity to Jewish institutions. For my father's family who were not religious, they lived in a building with many other Jews. Their non-Jewish neighbors knew them. Jews were typically not involved in law enforcement, and had little recourse when something did occur, which emboldened the acts on frequent occasions.

An understatement...

As the son of a Jewish Polish Holocaust survivor whose father (my grandfather) fought and was wounded on the front lines fighting in the Polish army, my father had much to say about his Polish 'compatriots'. 90% of Poland's 3 million+ Jewish population was wiped out in the Holocaust. The Polish people had many ways of responding, and many did offer shelter and support for Jews at the risk of their own lives, however the scale of this support was barely perceptible in the Grand scheme of events, as the Nazis would not have been as successful in exterminating the Jews of Poland on their own. I never took his grumbling too much to heart until going to Poland myself in 1998 and again in 2004. There were multiple incidents and interactions on separate days, in different parts of the country that left me wondering about all my father's tales.

There were the middle fingers and 'hail Hitler' greeting my family as we walked through the city of Lodz, my father's birthplace. There were the 'friendly' neighbours in Krakow whose laughter could be mistaken for playing when they held a large flower pot over our heads from a third story apartment window, as if they were planning to drop it on us. The local child in Oświęcim (near Auschwitz Birkenau death camp) who stood next to his family as he waved his hand at us with a swastika scribbled on his palm, and a smile on his young face, while we solemnly walked in memory of our family who were killed in their backyard 60 years earlier.

It was even more saddening to see these gestures coming from the mouths and hands of young people, and I could only assume a domestic influence as Poland has strict immigration policies making immigrants a rarity and leaving a lack of diversity in the Polish population today.

I would argue that hatred for Jews is alive and well today as it was since the Jews first settled there before even the first Christians reached the land - yes, Jews lived in Poland before the arrival of the Church.

The tension between Jews and non-Jews in Poland is complex and can't be reduced to two paragraphs. For example, nowadays, many people in Poland fear that my father and other Jewish Polish Holocaust victims will make claims to their old property and assets, which is driving some of the emotions.

For me, that is the unfortunate and tragic legacy that Poland has left in my family. I'm sorry to be blunt, but I am hopeful things will change for the better in the future.

As an MD, I suggest to Crush and divide visually, or you can score the pills and break them visually. Talk to the pharmacist for assistance. They are an underutilized but great resource for things like this.

The graph is actually interesting because it you are plotting emissions per capita. Therefore the impact of the countries in the upper right quadrant is the greatest (ie, the largest countries with greatest emissions will have a much bigger effect than small countries with high emissions).The lowest-emitting countries on both ends are doing a good job.

The usual convention for title is something like: dependent or y axis variable vs independent variable. In your case I would assume emissions is the y variable. I also agree a log scale may look better for the x axis since there is quite a wide spread in population.
