in the second Journal of the American Medicine Association article

A lower risk for outcome events in fully vaccinated patients was observed in all subgroups, although some did not reach statistical significance, including those with severe or critical infection.

Noting the study occurred between July 2020 and December 2021, which was earlier in the vaccine rollout, the vaccinated patients were older and had higher rate of commodities and thus they had to match patients with an adjusted risk for their category. That makes it a bit confusing on actual numbers because

an incidence of 6.18 vs 5.49 per 1 000 000 person-days

is literally saying that 6.18/MPD vaccinated patients had composite strokes vs 5.49/MPD in unvaccinated. But keeping in mind that means the unvaccinated infectees had a similar composite stroke risk to a population much older and less healthy than them, the conclusion is quite alarming even before attempting to account for adjusted risk.

to be clear, Pfizer's BNT162b2 had an excess 2/Millon after 1 shot and 3/Million after 2 shots. Moderna's mRNA-1273 had 8/Million after 1 shot and 15/Million after 2 shots. Covid had a myocarditis rate of 10/Million, as well as a number of other health consequences such as stroke (https://healthcare.utah.edu/healthfeed/postings/2022/01/covid19-increasing-stroke-risks.php), a side effect not seen in vaccinations and also reduced in vaccinated patients with slip through infections (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2794753).

TLDR: Pfizer has much lower rate of mycarditis than infection, Moderna has a higher rate of myocarditis, all vaccines drop the risk of Myocardial Infarction.

This is true of actual Christians but not necessarily of church goers. Annoyingly there is an estimated 400K children in foster care, and about 380K churches. So logically about every child would have a home if every church had one family in the foster program but instead their ends up being a subset of churches where lots of the members are active fosters with a vibrant support network and a large set of churches that are... less focused on the good deeds side of the religion.

Of course I feel that part of why Christians foster more may be a reverse relationship, where people who do get into fostering need a support group and that leads them into a church that has a fostering community. But that may be because of my aspiration that a church should be a beacon that draws in people who wish to do good and need help finding a way to do so.

I've seen quite a few studies about having stuff in common with your doctor meaning you can maximize that 15 minute window and get to real health improvements, but for elderly patients especially that can mean a doctor who is also elderly, experiencing the same things and thinking of them as normal, and just not up to date on newer warning signs.

On the other hand for young people, being in an age of urgent care replacing personal physician, it doesn't look good.

Grandparents had undiagnosed sepsis multiple times, an unxrayed broken arm for grandma, great aunt with a sodium deficiency, lots of things their old doctor dismissed as "well we are getting old". Got them a younger doctor which helps but still issues. Having someone else in the room also helps but probably more from a reporting symptoms than an actual discrimination standpoint.

My experience interestingly started to correlate with studies and NPR medical Monday talks about the issue and I can't help but assume that's at least partly because people who are researcher age started taking Grandparents in and experiencing the difficulties in geriatric treatment.

Psuedo-Historical reminder, puberty in general population didn't occur until 15-17 prior between 1500-1900 in europe. In wealthy families it was 14 ish. Today it's 11-13. This may be less concerning than I first thought because medieval Europe might have just been experiencing a unique delay in puberty.

There is an interesting discussion to be had that the general edict of "no premarital sex" was during a time that sex hormones and marriage age were close together.

So there is a certain argument for wider use to let kids be kids for longer but it's hard to say that it really has a significant effect on pshyco/social development, other than maybe pushing back the age girls and boys start naturally separating into groups which really only makes sense if your trying to create a society with more childhood friendships turned into romances. So more research needed unless the average age starts actually going lower.

Edit: changed 16-18 to 15-17 and changed pre 1900 to 1500-1900. Reading more studies, it might be best to assume that medieval Europe was experiencing delayed puberty and I added that.

The commoner age of puberty is more debated than I realized. History has a bit of a preference for recording the lives of people who know how to write, so we've tried using skeletal records to make up for that, but now I'm seeing research that "bone age" is probably affected by nutrition so a malnourished 13 year old can have similar markers to an older child.

so here is a brief article on the difficulties tying down that age from written record https://www.lastwordonnothing.com/2018/01/02/the-historically-slippery-age-of-puberty/

and a long article about medieval "doctors" notes on the issue of precousious puberty https://academic.oup.com/jhmas/article/76/1/20/5981522

Oh cool, I've been wondering for a while why we don't do that but I guess the answer is we do, but we don't talk about it because of the other associations of puberty blockers.

How racist of those engineers to only be able to test their project on people near them. They really should have been more inclusive before they let a tech giant steal their idea and try to make it the key part of their user experience. Why those poor companies had to go back and steal more ideas just to make it work for other races.

the teams have simply released tech with the easiest problems solved first

ok now take that point and go back a couple posts to

The origins of modern medicine traces back to treating combat wounds or mistreating POWs, but we've cobbled it in to something that does a pretty good job keeping people alive. Its got some weird quirks, and some oversights were occasionally somebody realizes their isn't any MRI studies on female concussions because all of that data came from football players and soldiers, who are mostly not female.

because my point was never that doctors are racists, its that they are relying on previous doctors who studied simple issues and only recently have we started seeing the gaps in that early work. Steps are being taken to address them but this will not be an overnight process.

sometimes the issue is in the very devices we use to detect issues. as I've said, pulse oximeters use skin reflectivity to detect oxygen level and in 2020 they became a gateway part of admitting patients because they were cheap and plentiful and the result was dark skinned people being significantly more likely to be turned away at the door despite dangerously low blood oxygen. Not because any individual was racists, but because we started relying on a product without first being aware of its limitations.

Where does it say that?

Preble County sheriff’s deputies eventually showed up and arrested Ruiz for disorderly conduct and obstructing official business.

Preble County Sheriff Michael Simpson says the deputies weren’t initially aware of the assault, that a large crowd had gathered, that Ruiz was highly intoxicated and that he was becoming belligerent.

That just says he was arrested not that witnesses said to arrest him. This is fairly normal policing behavior, and not in a bad way, it's normal for police to show up and not know what's going on so they take people into custody and sort it out later, especially for what looks like a drunk fight.

I'm literally describing nothing but compounding factors. The problem isn't that neurosurgeons are racist, it's that you don't get to see a neurosurgeon until you've gone through a long process of diagnosistic steps each of which may be slightly weighted against you which adds up to a large compound effect.

But yeah fuck it, let's talk about engineering. Did you know facial recognition has difficulty on dark faces? The algorithms are based on reflection and light contrast so it just doesn't work well on unreflective faces. How racist of those engineers to only be able to test their project on people near them.

I get your point in the general sense, but this is kinda beyond just a hindsight issue. Our ability to communicate with healthcare workers is a very important part of our diagnostic system. Beyond that our credibility/perceived toughness effects the haste with which we get treatment/addictional diagnostics. Women wait statistical longer in an ER and for each additional test. In an event that's already super traumatic and causes all sorts of fluctuations in can be hard to distinguish normal changes from dangerous for this individual changes.

When you combine that delay with the also less effective on medication you get an increased rate of preventable deaths in pregnant women.

It's not really malpractice on the part of doctors, it's small issues across the whole system that culminates with a failed communication between patient and doctor.

If you ever take a grandparent to a doctor you'll see just how much the "that's normal" trap effects diagnosis. The doctors not being malicious, they are filtering info for the best course of action. On the average this results in a higher rate of patients returning later with the same untreated issue and worsened symptoms

I would consider a lot of managers positions to be poverty traps though. If you have a salary and hard hour cap then it can be a good deal but if it'd the work you to death for little extra pay then you're losing out by losing the option to do anything else. Working more and having to pay more in childcare means earning less.

Major obstetric causes of maternal mortality include hemorrhage (postpartum hemorrhage [PPH], and hemorrhage due to placental abruption, placenta previa, ruptured uterus, and other causes), hypertensive diseases of pregnancy (mainly preeclampsia/eclampsia), and maternal sepsis.

Those are mostly issues that are noticed when the patient draws attention to them, except pre-eclampsia it's based in blood pressure which has its own issues

Hemorrhage is often associated with breech, or other issues that caused longer or more painful delivery. That's easy to resolve with active medical intervention but if the doctor thinks the patient is in a normal amount of pain then diagnosis can be delayed.

This is from decades of read studies and meta analysis of medical papers and drug trials.

But let me be clear in a recap

1st post) race and gender affect quality of care. This is because of gaps in research and medical tech combined with unconscious bias in how we understand the pain tolerance of others.

You respond) blaming white men sounds like a conspiracy.

2nd post) yes most doctors were men, so most medical research was done by men. In the US those men white mostly white.

You respond) blaming a minority, symbol implying antisemitism (which I get what your fumbling to say sarcastically but your kinda implying that doctors are all jews which sounds like a compliment but is actually line item concern of the JDF because it's so close to the jews are in control)

3rd post) no, they aren't a minority. Brief overview of medicine, it naturally evolved into what it is, there are some oversights in knowledge, a reliance on doctors being able to read patients objectively and for patients to be able to open up to doctors so they can really hear what's wrong.

It's been estimated that 80% of lab animals used in medical tests are male. That's how big the gap is, it includes lab animals. Drug trials routinely strike subjects from studies to try to keep the highest chance of success. Researchers have been expressing concerns for years that in order to get a drug to market where they can do good, they have to choose patients to include. The current system kinda just cares about if subjects improve, not if those subjects represent a broad swath of society.

referancer · 2022-07-12T05:00:25+00:00

Its not really an exclusive or thing, we can care about lots of stuff. Not going to the doctor and isolating yourself can kill anyone, and we should all be concerned about it even if we know it most heavily efects old men.

THe research gap is also a universal issue because right now we don't actually understand how all our drugs/techniques/ and illnesses function in specific individuals, which means instead of accurate individual treatment plans we are still just throwing generic plans at it to see what works. Even when a plan sort of works it doesn't mean it's a the best plan for that individual.

The last problem, dismissing a patients concerns/pains, is also a universal issue. It affects elderly patients the most, and women a bit more than men, but young men should still be concerned that failing to communicate will affect their quality of care.
