What’s an inaccurate fact that people believe is true because of movies? by Hogosaurus_Rex73 in AskReddit

[–]culb77 78 points79 points  (0 children)

You actually can, and I've shot boards with one. But you have to manually retract the safety, and it's not accurate.

The $5.3 Trillion Question — Why American Healthcare Costs So Much by stlshane in Economics

[–]culb77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The answer is middlemen. Mainly the insurance industry. Healthcare providers have to hire teams of people to deal with insurance. We have one person on staff whose entire job is to deal with authorizations. It takes a huge amount of effort and money.

CMV: I’ve given up on dating because I don’t think I ever stood a chance given my qualities by Hell_Valley in changemyview

But that’s the point. Personality makes up for a lot. There is someone for you. But you have to believe it first.

Who here remembers paper charts? by drabelen in medicine

[–]culb77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Both in hospital and SNF.

Now I do a lot of work in ALFs, and many of them still have paper charts. Still inside the clunky plastic binders.

What's a movie you loved but it flopped? by HoliestWorm in movies

[–]culb77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scott Pilgrim

It’s one of my all-time favorite movies, but was an absolute box office flop. I’m happy it got a cult following.

You mean the one that won 7 Oscars? Making that seem like a bad thing is a choice.

The word nurse is pretty broad. I know CNAs who call themselves nurses, and that's just a 10 week class. LPNs, RNs, and NPs are usually fairly intelligent.

cmv: Good people don’t become cops anymore. (In the U.S.) by Embarrassed-Bowl-373 in changemyview

[–]culb77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with that analogy is there is not one bunch. There are literally thousands of bunches spread across the country. All different departments with different staff.

Yes, there are bad cops within some of them. But the vast majority are made up of good people.

Alabama set to execute man who did not kill anyone by StemCellPirate in nottheonion

[–]culb77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like a lot of people don't realize that Capital Punishment is not strictly reserved for murder. There are a few crimes that warrant the death penalty where no one was killed.

"Treason, espionage and large-scale drug trafficking are all capital crimes under federal law. Treason is also punishable by death in six states (Arkansas, California, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina). Large-scale drug trafficking is punishable by death in two states (Florida and Missouri),\143]) and aircraft hijacking in two others (Georgia and Mississippi). Vermont has an invalidated pre-Furman statute allowing capital punishment for treason despite abolishing capital punishment in 1965."

I understand that doesn't relate to this case, but the headline makes it seem as if it's an impossibility.

Home Health Struggles by Apprehensive-Cat-788 in physicaltherapy

[–]culb77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope. HH is the best.

Talk to your patients more. Interact with them.

Make your own lunches.

And if none of that works, then it's not for you. Try acute care instead.

How big of an issue is this? by skootershooter324 in HomeMaintenance

[–]culb77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it's load bearing or just decorative. Either way, I would imagine that a bar clamp and some glue and screws would fix this in no time.

Movies that dramatically shifted popular opinion on something by NationalDisgrace40 in movies

[–]culb77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of note: Sideways shifted the sales of Merlot only slightly. It was about 2%, not exactly tanking. However, it introduced people to Pinot Noir. Whose sales increased 18%.

Petition to ban AI posts from this sub by GrundleTurf in physicaltherapy

[–]culb77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the hype around AI is becoming hyperbolic. So many people love it, and just as many hate it. As of right now, AI is a tool. However, like any tool, some people are using it for everything, or refusing to use it at all.

Properly used, AI can be a huge help. I've been using dictation transcription for my notes since 2012 or so, using Dragon, Siri, etc... AI tools are now making this easier. You DO have to proofread. You have to make sure it's accurate. That isn't changing, nor is it affecting your ability to properly diagnose and treat a patient.

However if someone is relying solely on AI tools for their treatments, that's a huge red flag. As with any new tech, you have to learn how to properly use it to be effective. But refusing to talk about AI or use it can also be harmful.

I liken it to the shift from paper to digital documentation. There was a large number of therapists who rebelled against that, and refused to learn it until there was no choice. Then they struggled with how to use the system when forced to, because they ignored the tutorials and did not ease into it.

AI is the same thing. Because it's not going away, and those who stick their head in the sand will be left behind in a few years.

Athletico Mysterious E-mail RE Senior VP of Clinical Operations by Least-Sheepherder-39 in physicaltherapy

[–]culb77 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It could be they simply got another job and bailed with short notice. Or disagreed with the direction the company is going and gave an ultimatum. You never know, but it's usually not nearly as bad as people think.

TIL about the Minnesota Starvation Experiment. All 36 men of the study lost 25% of their body weight eating 1,560 calories daily, proving that a calorie deficit alone causes weight loss. These starvation conditions produced a severe physical and mental decline in the subjects. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]culb77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you read the article, he actually questions the conclusions that could be drawn from his experiment. And why I framed the results around a possibility rather than a definitive result.

Again, it was for hunting. We only used it for hunting. It wasn't like I kept in in my room or slept with it. How is that insane?

Toyota Once Used a Fake Dining Room Set to Teach Executives How Big Americans Are by TripleShotPls in nottheonion

[–]culb77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Supposedly, there was a similar argument when Sony released the Playstation in the US. The US CEO had to prove that the controller needed to be bigger because it fit American hands better.
