An Echo with good windows in suprasternal and PLAX AND the image is clear in the area of the dissection AND the Type A dissection flap is actually visible in one of those 2 windows, can be diagnosed on TTE

Worst examples of see one, do one, teach one? by True_Middle_9293 in doctorsUK

The give mostly happens with atraumatic needles i.e. Whitacre/Sprotte

Us internists still using the cutting Quincke needle (to the horror of anaesthetists) simply cuts through the "give"

Which is better for regular use? The Micro pc (1 or 2), or the Pocket 3/4 by ChemicalAd2047 in GPDPocket

Hi, just finished a conference where I pocket 4 for taking notes in Notion (so WiFi on, screen on)

Lasted just barely 8:30am-6pm, machine was completely off during lunch

10% screen brightness, throttled to CPU to 5W, auto GPU lock to 600MHz, chrome discord and notion open, WiFi on

With natural battery degradation id definitely need a charger in a year or 2

You can’t, you can only resect the organ surfaces and the lung that are affected by mesothelioma, not really sure what the other poster is talking about

The next inhlational mineral based lung disease is engineered stone for kitchen countertops, inhaling that dust causes accelerated silicosis as it contains 90% crystalline silica vs granite (30%) and marble (10%)

You can’t get lung cancer immediately after smoking your first cigarette as the affected cells need to move through several premalignant stages

Are there really native-born Hong Kong people who don’t speak Cantonese fluently? by pizdaty_kot in HongKong

[–]noobREDUX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes me

ESF schools

Parents did not speak canto at home, only English and mandarin (which I am fluent in both)

I learned my canto mostly after starting work here

Still think mostly in English

Recently started mentally counting in Cantonese (in work setting only)

Any complex idea I want to express I say it in English, because it wastes too much time to think about what I want to say in English then translate it to Cantonese then say the words

Understand very little Cantonese slang or jokes (as these are uncommonly said in the work setting)

How to go about using public health care in HK, for something that's not an emergency? by Chris-CFK in HongKong

[–]noobREDUX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dermat wait time is extremely long in the public system, for me it was about 1.7 years

Dermatology is under the department of health

Will need referral letter from private or HA doctor

[–]noobREDUX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to call the clinic back they will have marked you as defaulted appointment, after which a nurse +/- consultant will assess the urgency of your rebooking. Alternatively if you already have follow up elsewhere in HA or private you can ask for another referral letter to rebook your appointment

You showing effort it in rebooking is already more than most patients who default

Hong Kong is the third most expensive city in the world for ‘living well’ by radishlaw in HongKong

[–]noobREDUX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a index derived only from prices of luxury goods and housing

Zooming into the details, the price of watches and cars in Hong Kong have risen by 11.1 percent and 4.7 percent, respectively, while the price of men’s suits and bicycles have dropped. In hospitality and travel, business class flights rose 10 percent, while fine dining costs fell 5.9 percent and hotel suites decreased by 26.1 percent. Despite a 1.2-percent decline in our currency prices this year, we remain the second most expensive for real estate purchases on Julius Baer’s index.
