Under Shakira Law:
- all breasts are only allowed to be small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains.
- hips are not allowed to lie.
What other laws am I missing?

We have never run a sham-controlled RCT for total knee replacement.
Not once. The most commonly performed orthopedic procedure in the United States, 700,000+ per year, has never been tested against placebo.
And yet when low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) for knee OA is presented, the first objection is always: "Where's the sham-controlled data?"
That double standard is worth naming out loud.
Here is what LDRT actually has:
→ 2 positive sham controlled trials (Korean and Iranian)
→ A 292-patient prospective RCT (Russian) with 11 year follow-up
→ 4.5x difference in pain scores at 36 months across every domain (pain, stiffness, function, quality of life)
→ Plain-film radiography and MRI at 10 years showing a statistically significant reduction in marked progression
→ A 50-year European safety record with no meaningful toxicity
Here is what the treatments currently in OA guidelines have:
→ NSAIDs: known cardiovascular, renal, and GI harm at chronic doses
→ Glucosamine/chondroitin: failed large RCTs. Still in some guidelines.
→ Corticosteroid injections: emerging evidence of accelerated cartilage loss with repeat use
→ TKA: no sham trial. Ever.
If LDRT was a pill, it would be in every guideline.
The evidence bar being applied to LDRT is not being applied to anything else in this space.
The critics aren't wrong that we need a multicenter sham-controlled trial. We do. That's the ask.
But the argument that the current evidence is insufficient to justify treatment while we continue recommending interventions with weaker or more harmful evidence bases is not scientific rigor.
It is asymmetric scrutiny.
The field has been waiting decades for a non-surgical, disease-modifying treatment for OA. The data suggests we may have had it all along.
That conversation is overdue.

Subir el sueldo de un médico con solo el salario base y pretender hacer ver que cobra eso es manipular y engañar. Pero coger el sueldo de un médico con 5 guardias + tardes y peonadas y compararlo con el de otro trabajador con una jornada laboral de 40h también lo es.
@agarzon@DiegoDazAlonso1 Hace tiempo que venimos hablando de ello, Alberto, pero a la defensiva. Los profesionales con dedicación exclusiva y ejercicio exclusivo en la pública son la gran mayoría.
Ellas son las trabajadoras de la residencia de mayores de Sedaví. Lograron subir 2 pisos a pulso a los 124 ancianos en los pocos minutos en que el nivel del agua creció varios metros. Salvaron a todos los mayores. Solo el pueblo salva al pueblo.
Oh so that really sweet person who was enjoying Doctor Who for the first time and was making a really enthusiastic thread has now left because of Doctor Who fans.
That tracks. Fuck I hate this fandom.
