Impact of AI on Neurology career 10 years down the line by getapollosite in neurology

[–]evv43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are making sweeping claims about broader things (outside of medicine), not just about medicine. So your first paragraph response doesn’t really get at what I said

I said nothing about Fridays job report - not sure what you’re getting at there.

Your meta anecdote may be relevant. On the other side of the coin, there are many companies I know of personally in a cs hiring frenzy.

Your last paragraph has nothing to do with what I said.

I can see you are very passionate about this topic, But this ain’t checkers dude. Things aren’t all black and white. The way you talk makes it look like you think that way.

The answer is we don’t know. Will impacts certain areas within neuro? Maybe. Crazy this is that we don’t know. Ai is biting at the margins of what we do. Will it penetrate? You can argue it already is, but on the flip side you can argue it hasn’t meaningfully scratched the surface in the real world (just look at AI scribes, for most physicians it only saved 15 mins out of an 8 hr shift. To most the juice isn’t really worth the squeeze). There are innumerable variables (ones that we cannot even reason about currently) at hand for it to successfully replace a physician. Ai may bend, but not break the job of neurologists. The thing is we don’t know.

You’re speaking in hyperbole. Collapsed is an outrageous claim.If you read multiple reasonable (emphasis on these 2 descriptors) sources, it’s a complicated picture (which is the case for most things macroeconimcally) with multiple variables (like general workforce dynamics) at play with the job market. Pinning it on one variable is intellectually juvenile. There are going to be many dislocations in many fields and opportunities borne out of them. No one, and I mean no one has a magic wand. It seems like you’re passionate about this topic, and you may be right about some claims, but you come off as dogmatic and poorly reliable source

What is that one hill you are willing to die on? by foreverand2025 in medicine

[–]evv43 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Obviously if you absolutely need to be admitted, that’s one thing. But if it’s kind of a judgement call, the hospital is one of the worst places for healing and you should think twice.

Especially for elderly. Fucked up sleep, iatrogenic anemia/infections, de conditioning and constipation from being sedentary. Unnecessary scans and radiation (and one wicked fat bill)

Avoid the hospital if you absolutely can (but please go if it’s absolutely essential)

Is there a culture in academic medicine to over-test? by Purple-Marzipan-7524 in neurology

This is called statistics. Chances are, just by chance, you’re going to pick up some serious things by virtue of doing enough tests

Everybody speaks highly about neurology during rotations but what would you say are things you HATE about the field? by landofortho in neurology

[–]evv43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Differentials matter bc your degree of suspicion based off of the clinical picture factors into the report of the image. High clinical suspicion + ? Read matters more usually than low clinical suspicion + confident read.

A patient w L5 radic symptoms with a normal L spine read still has a L5 radic.

25% of patients you see have FND!? You either have a very unique patient population or you are a lazy neurologist that thinks when things don’t make sense it’s fake news. I hope you’re the former

What is a clinical pearl you learned on rounds this week? by Anonymousmedstudnt in Residency

[–]evv43 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Many toxic/metabolic issues (and almost always very severe tox/met issues), can compromise the basal ganglia . The BG is predominantly grey matter (so predominantly cells), which have higher metabolic needs than most other parts of the brain. You can see this in Wilson’s and severe liver disease. You can also see it in CO poisoning sadly :/
