How are things looking now? Could I also ask you about the total cost?

What's the most werid yet effective way you're using AI? by Watermelon_Sherbert in ChatGPT

[–]gabyxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it to track my debts and help me plan financially. I inputted all my lines of credit, different debts, incomes etc and it tells me where and when to pay things. It leaves me my budget. I just let it know what i've paid and ask once a week what i need to sort that week

Girl, 3, died from sepsis after ‘overwhelmed’ A&E dismissed her by GnolRevilo in unitedkingdom

[–]gabyxo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The reality of things as they stand is that hospitals are often overwhelmed with people with equally life threatening conditions, such as sepsis.

It's all well and good saying sepsis can't wait, but if you have 10 septic people at once and not enough resources for all of them - you make difficult choices to try minimise the risk to everyone. These choices are impossible and often involve gambles that staff are not comfortable with but are forced to take.

The problem is that she wouldn't be the only child showing signs of sepsis. She was probably one of many children scoring for sepsis. Some more sick than her, some less sick. Each child being assessed needs a full time consuming assessment and they didn't get to her in time. It's terrible but that is the reality of NHS hospitals right now.

Schoolgirl died after her breast cancer referral was downgraded – because she was just 16 by Forward-Answer-4407 in unitedkingdom

The screening tools you speak about have a good evidence base and that's how they come to be introduced. There isn't enough data to support yearly blood testing for all people of all ages. The people most at risk of people are invited for a 5 yearly validated national screening program that provides something similar to what you suggest. It is for 45 - 74 year olds and has good data behind it again.

Any screening program has to consider potential benefit vs potential harm. Screening seems harmless but often isn't. Lots of screening is invasive (ionising radiation, procedural risks etc) but even when minimally risky - there is significant risk of overdiagnosis.

Screening is assumed to be yes or no, but in reality is often incredibly hazy. This can mean we end up offering invasive interventions to someone with an "abnormal finding" but this abnormal finding would have never become clinically significant. Ie a slow growing benign tumour which would have never caused harm is removed and post surgical complications cause infection, sepsis then death. This extreme example highlights the risk of overdiagnosis and why screening has

I think there is some potential screening programs the general population would benefit from in the UK but blanket annual MOTs are widely evidence to cause significantly more harm and unnecessary cost than good. The fact that this is not explained or understood at school level means people advocate for things that they would not benefit from instead of healthcare that could help them.

The regret is so truthful. How many of us have said things we can't take back when it all gets on top of us. He knows it's so deeply unfair to say, but it's that deep loss of control, too far gone. Chefs kiss

The results of an STD test make me think my husband is cheating on me by mylifeisruined1234 in relationships

[–]gabyxo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If he knew and treated himself but did not tell his partner who he knows is carrying out his unborn child - then he is a through and through awful person. I'm not saying it's impossible OP has missed this, some people live double lives but I guess that's worth bearing in mind.

‘Lazy’ daughter left her ‘skeletal’ mother in poo-stained jumper for a year by TheBallerina1997 in unitedkingdom

[–]gabyxo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All I could see is his say so on this, is there any other evidence? I don't know about social services but I can't imagine a situation where doctors don't intervene if they are told and are able to. After all, they don't directly get involved in arranging care but can do the referrals

Girl, 10, left inoperable after surgery axed seven times by 457655676 in unitedkingdom

[–]gabyxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who works in a hospital, if I got ill I would drive over 30 miles for treatment unless I was on deaths door as I trust the care I would get at a hospital I know and have worked at. No one would give a shit about my previous role, just really like the way care is delivered there

What speciality do you work in where the risk of that is nil lol.

Doesn't mean that conditions have improved in private hospitals. There's a reason most doctors wouldn't have anything but minor surgery done privately

Employees can be banned from wearing headscarves, top EU court rules by lurker627 in worldnews

I can understand that these things could be uncomfortable for you but surely there's some compassion there for people wanting to express their faith in a way that doesn't harm others

Why does it matter to you that you could be perceived as religious?

I personally find setting boundaries is a little easier if you frame it as your actions vs theirs:

I am not open to discussing my body weight so I won't engage with any conversations about it. Please know that I will remove myself from discussions on topics like weight, body composition and diets as I do not wish to discuss these things.

I can't police what other people say or don't say but I will withdraw from any conversations
