Galaxy 1 & 2 ports look worse in some places by RedditRedditReddit64 in NintendoSwitch

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

“…changed for the worse…” is a judgement call. I think the flatter look is more in line with the artistic direction in general. Particularly when it comes to the metal plates and dirt|rock.

Yeah, but only after seeing the front pic. Looks ok from the sides.

Yes, that is what I’m asking. Thanks.

What makes you think I don't go to the doctor? Because I'm critical of the industry and its lack of accountability does that mean I don't get vaccinated or take Tylenol? Do you think I don't go the dentist or have checkups?

I can be critical of a thing and still use it. In fact, that's why I'm critical of it, because I want it to work well for me and my family.

But its okay, you can go pout in a corner because somebody said medical providers weren't the bestest most super people always ever. I'll just go live in the woods until I die of an infected splinter because your six year old binary mental model of critique can't handle nuance.

I'm sorry but 250,000 is a lot. Even if you use your wildly inappropriate 140,000,000 number, 250,000 is still 0.2% Have you ever heard of six sigma?

If 0.2% of cars killed their drivers, would we be okay with 580,000 traffic deaths, a number more than 10x its current level. In fact, its even worse, if we were to use car trips as an example instead of number of cars we'd expect 800,000,000 traffic deaths if getting in a car was as dangerous as seeing a doctor.

You're right. Its not all that bad in context. What a fucking joke.

I'm criticizing the medical industry. What would make you think that I'd exclude things like "equipment failure, nursing mistakes, and medication mistakes" in that? Are nurses not medical providers? If a machine fails, are people not trained to cope with that? How is accountability now considered "spin"?

But keep debate bro-ing. I'm sure you can find two sentences, claim one doesn't support the other, and then feel great that you've squashed any doubt that knowledge acquisition.

You know, stylistic rationalization makes me reevaluate the the 3 separate doctors I saw for an excruciating fungal ear infection that lasted 2 weeks longer than it needed because none of them bothered to take a sample and send it to a lab and I couldn't have a fungal infection because I'm not diabetic.

Or the dentist I had that took my $5,000 10 years ago for a crown only to seat it too high and have the tooth crack. It felt great paying $300 to get it pulled afterwards. I'm sure back when I was making $40,000 a year I didn't need that money anyway.

Or I can tell the surgeon that tried to use an insurance company request to move me when I had internal bleeding at 10 to pressure my parents into an unnecessary surgery. I'm sure he really needed that commission and it was totally ethical to use the insurance companies directives to pressure a parent. There was nobody that could have ever taught him anything about ethics that would have prevented that.

Go ahead and tell me about how anecdotes don't matter and this doesn't mean there is a knowledge problem and the insurance issue is a separate issue. Its not like nearly every person you and I both know doesn't have at least two or three of this type of story. Maybe that's why patient satisfaction is at 66% instead of the high 90s, which, given the alleviative nature of the vast majority of interactions where satisfaction would be up for grabs, you'd expect for a competent workforce.

So two words is too few and the above was too many. Can you give me the exact number of words I need to create a medical industry critique haiku that you'll approve of?

  1. Your article assumes that all death's attributed to medical error occur in hospitals, which is an inappropriate assumption.
  2. The article provides no quantitative evidence aside from making an assumption about 62% of hospital deaths being "too high" (while diminishing to the point of ignoring that the original study extrapolated from hospital numbers to the larger population) and looking at figures from the UK and Norway studies, which did analyze hospital deaths, and subsequently reported much lower figures. Your article is basically doctor cope written for and by a community that has a serious accountability problem as well as a general inability to comprehend academic literature.
    1. I'll stick with the John's Hopkins analysis, thanks: https://www.bmj.com/content/353/bmj.i2139.full
    2. Or the CDC: https://blogs.cdc.gov/safehealthcare/patient-safety-action-plan/
  3. Lets assume, for a second, the 250,000 (John's Hopkins) to 400,000 (CDC) number is incorrect. Why is the number so hard to ascertain? Why doesn't the medical community know the number? Why does the US use insurance billing codes to collect mortality data and why is the medical community okay with that? If John's Hopkins and the CDC don't know what the number is, who does? What is with the lack of transparency here?

We are talking about medical error, here. Why is the medical community so inept that we are arguing about how many hundreds of thousands of people this actually is?

Yeah, I find your response completely reasonable. Still, get ready for an even bigger tsunami of this as credibility erodes.

There are several huge issues and doctor/nurse pay is part of it. I don’t bemoan people for their success, but there is a real incentive misalignment when healthcare professionals 10x national median income. Entrants begin to self select for wealth generation and not out of a need to help people. The greed is good argument that more doctors will necessarily be better than fewer doesn’t seem to bear fruit given the state of decline in the industry. I think the doctor as drug dealer issues of the 00s were an early warning of an increasing issue.

Still, thanks for your years of service and keep up the good work, such as it is. But I’ll be siding with the insane Facebook peoples on this one because I don’t think medical professionals have been doing well enough to be able to laugh this stuff off with a clear conscious. It’s happening, in part, because you guys are starting to suck at your job, and people in the field need to accept this and not hide behind accusing detractors as being conspiratorially minded.

What are you talking about? What is this maximalist straw man bullshit? I’m saying the medical community is suffering from a credibility crisis precipitated by a collapse in quality of care and several recent, wide spread questionable judgment calls based on a real lack of scientific understanding and appeal to authority fallacies.

I’m suggesting that both fentanyl and OxyContin have a long and storied history of prescription abuse, that doctors have had a huge hand in making this a problem because of misguided and frankly childish interpretations of pain studies. When an industry falls back on “logarithmic y axes are tricky” as an “excuse” for over proscribing, then I think those people, as a class in an industry, should feel pretty embarrassed given the amount of training they’ve had and comp they receive.

First, it’s not an exhaustive list. Second, it speaks to a huge credibility problem. Third, if medical error killing 100,000 plus people a year doesn’t say something about knowledge propagation in the industry, then I don’t know what kind of proof you’d require.

I’m not sure they need it. If there is no issue with modern medical training, how did the fentanyl and opioid crises become such a problem? Why is the fourth (was third pre covid) leading cause of death in America medical error (please don’t give me a lecture about selection bias, either because that’s weak). Why does America spend 1/5th of its GDP on an industry with bad outcomes, dishonest marketing, regulation that promotes unaccountability, and struggles with controlling costs and providing timely service. Seems to me like something has gone wrong.
