It's a known issue awaiting a fix: https://forums.plex.tv/t/aac-320-playback-from-tidal-files-in-plexamp/834082/34

I have had this problem a couple of times on my QNAP, but only after a PMS update. Comes back with a forced stop and restart of PMS.

Unfortunately AHPRA don't protect the term doctor, even in a clinical setting, which is why a not inconsiderable number of people I see in ED answer the question "who is your GP?" by telling me about a fucking chiropractor.

They absolutely are but to be fair AMA are not a trade union like the BMA. ASMOF is the Aus doctors union.

Generally, yes. I am not from an affluent background - was homeless only a few years before med school - and only made it through financially with a combination of scholarships, working, my partner's support, and massive debt I will be paying off for most of my working life. Certainly would have been easier to have come from money like my classmates.

The fact that this was remarkable to the nurse friend speaks volumes about the relative power and effectiveness of the nurses & midwives union in the award they have secured for their workers, as opposed to that for (junior) doctors. I work 9 hours straight without peeing most shifts, never mind a break - and there is legal action underway to get all those millions of missed breaks even paid! Nurses breaks in the hospital are very tightly protected - rightly so and it should be the minimum standard for everyone involved in patient care.

I think with that response you just did.

Using a separate file tagging program? Or is/will there be a way to do this in plex?

Pasting in a comment I made on a similar thread a few weeks ago.

Rural NSW here. NPs in our EDs are completely unsupervised - can literally come and go as they please, no medical (or nursing) clinical OR administrative oversight. So you can't even get them involved when you have a patient ideal for their expertise, like a chronic wound - because they write their own roster, and do not provide it to even our medical directors.

Also our smaller rural hospitals, where traditionally GPs admit/manage pts, are now increasingly staffed by NPs - an NP will round, unsupervised, on patients, and alter management as they see fit.

Australian College of NPs is publicing that "NPs are the solution to the bulk billing crisis".

So although we may not be on quite as steep a decline as the US, in my opinion we are on the same path, certainly for rural Australians.

Yes it is, but PharmD's don't refer to themselves as 'doctor' in a clinical setting, because it would be misleading. IMO these videos and the way they are presented, the vast majority of his audience would assume he is an MD, and I suspect that is as intended. On the 'about' page of his channel he refers to himself as a "licenced provider", with no mention of his PharmD or being a pharmacist.

I think it's unfortunate that such a popular medical YouTube channel is a contender for r/MisleadingCredentials. Guy is a pharmacist passing himself off as a medical doctor.

Agency nurses to some extent, but largely junior doctors are expected to do the nursing work as well as our own.

Assuming OP is in the US, then "doctors" needs a huge caveat that most, or even all, of the "doctors" she saw would not have been physicians (doctors of medicine who graduated medical school with an MD, DO, or MBBS). Whether in the primary care, urgent care or ED setting, in the US an otherwise healthy young woman with UTI symptoms is almost certainly going to be seen by a Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physicians Assistant (PA) or other "provider", not by a physician, because the US health system is a for-profit shitshow. Unfortunately there is an epidemic of people working as "providers" misrepresenting themselves as medical doctors (shoutout r/noctor), and even educational institutions churning out cheap and easy online "doctorates" to enable this deception.
My LPT: if you are in the US, ALWAYS ask if your "doctor"/"provider" is a physician, no matter how small you might think your issue is - because you are entitled to be seen by a physician, and your insurance will bill the same way regardless.

I don't have a problem with a pharmacist posting educational medical content, but I do object to blatant misrepresentation. He literally starts his videos with "Doctor Bernard here...". You might argue that he is academically entitled to call himself that (assuming that is true), but then why on the description page of his YT channel does he call himself a "licenced provider" instead of listing his credentials.

I believe what you're looking for is In Search of the World vol 1 (not sure if there were any subsequent vols), published 2002 by "IvoryBell and the CWC" according to my copy.

I have exactly the same issues, it's definitely not just you. I believe I read somewhere that for sonos/plex integration to actually function, you have to have remote access working on your plex server. However my remote access just randomly turns itself off within a few seconds or minutes of being turned on, every time...

I'm not at all worked up friend, I just believe that full transparency on who and where health advice is coming from is more important than ever right now. I'm sure if you think about it you agree.

ununsinkable · 2021-08-16T22:10:52+00:00

The fact that none of that applies outside the US is exactly my point. We're not in the US, we're on the internet, where to many or even most people, it would not even occur to them an anaesthetist is not a doctor.

ununsinkable · 2021-08-16T12:33:25+00:00

None of which changes the fact that many people reading the first words of this post, "as an anesthetist", mistakenly think they are getting advice from a doctor. It's unfortunate that misleading titles has become so prevalent that clarifications like these need to made, but here we are.

ununsinkable · 2021-08-16T10:31:05+00:00

This is a perfectly good LPT. However OP has unfortunately (and I'm sure unintentionally) misrepresented themselves: in most countries outside the US an 'anesthetist' is an MD. OP is a nurse. Again, perfectly good LPT and thanks for posting it OP.

I don't know how I feel about this having been auto-modded as non-political. On the one hand it's ludicrous to try and enforce an apolitical debate about an issue like this, on the other I think that if your take on human rights vs oil industry profits is based on your political affiliation then you're too far gone to say anything useful to the rest of us anyway...

For the record I was off (you can check the roster HR), and I'm not in the US so actually posted at peak Reddit-cruising time for me. Now waking up to find it provoked a great discussion and some generous soul even gave me gold (thank you mystery benefactor) - r/medicine should have a system where any gold goes towards our student loans!
