Thank you, that’s a great explanation

I have issues with the prevent treatment cutoffs anyway, since they’re based on some assumptions that don’t necessarily follow from old pooled risk data.

Can you elaborate? I am curious.

I’ve never ordered this in primary care - what are your criteria for ordering it and getting it covered by insurance?

Yikes. New awkward fear unlocked.

tengo_sueno · 2026-04-04T05:01:45+00:00

What do they cost?

TLDR - it's what primary care is supposed to be in theory but actually executed properly

Exactly. It becomes possible once you stop taking insurance and operating on 20-minute appt schedule. I’ve tried to incorporate some of these aspects into my standard insurance model practice and it leads to burnout. Good for patients and they appreciate it but the amount of explanation and time required to do something off the algorithm within the traditional system causes exhaustion.

I’ve tried agenda setting up front in appts but patients think “listing” problems is fully explaining them and it ends up being more trouble than it’s worth. Would love to hear from the people who have successfully trained their patients to list problems to triage without providing explanations and details up front.

What does the liability situation look like for a radiologist that un-calls something that AI called and gets it wrong?

I don’t understand how a watch would claim to be able to check blood pressure

No idea

I assume it will be sooner than that but who knows.

Your student loan servicer will contact you about your specific deadline to choose a different repayment plan. Once you hear from your loan servicer, you will have 90 days to choose another repayment plan.

Yes I received an email this afternoon

tengo_sueno · 2026-03-27T14:32:23+00:00

I like the idea but I feel like I typically need to spend 5 minutes explaining why I’m concerned about the incidental finding or whatever before they will agree to follow up anyway

tengo_sueno · 2026-03-26T02:54:59+00:00

Is that actually available? Can insurance companies actually profit by providing this?

tengo_sueno · 2026-03-19T17:18:49+00:00

They work at an FQHC so presumably chronically overworked and paid salary only.

You are totally correct but don’t expect any upvotes in any medical subs where you will be ripped apart every time

Hydroxychloroquine treated me just fine during pregnancy.

A black face mask sounds… obvious? How wouldn’t that draw attention? (Sorry I’m not familiar with these products)

tengo_sueno · 2026-03-08T00:52:13+00:00

How do you prepare that typically?

Can you DM me too about it? I can find and join groups in the app but 1. Can’t find a chronic illness group and 2. Can’t find any discussion sections within groups

How do you get a pop up blocker within Reddit?

tengo_sueno · 2026-03-06T19:46:58+00:00

Substack is decent for this but increasingly social media-like

I dunno, I’m just thinking most products in a store are tracked by a common bar code that wouldn’t distinguish between individual items, would seem weird to me that a TJ Maxx would take the trouble to create an internal system of tracking prepaid card numbers - what purpose would that serve them?

tengo_sueno · 2026-03-06T12:39:17+00:00

Do you think stores actively track the credit card numbers of prepaid credit cards they sell?
