@queenamichallah I feel like this one plan also does a lot of heavy lifting as a presumed basis for certain fanfiction authors depicting Robb as a military genius

[id-vortex @id_vortex]

@esbatre One thing I will give the author, though, and that is as far as this style of art goes she’s consistently gotten way better than average covers. Too bad the Emily Skrutskie book wasn’t as fortunate!

[id-vortex @id_vortex]

@esbatre Where to even start? The NAMES? The random capitalization in the tag line? The adult debut that’s still YA except maybe there will be some almost certain to not be particularly well written on page sex? + I’m sorry but Emily Skrutskie did this concept first & actually did it WELL

[id-vortex @id_vortex]

@unintrstngcritt @Isanthropia Both things can be true! And are, in this case.

@Dr_JSA @NeleHelena Isn’t minimizing your own cognitive bias part of your training, though? And isn’t the point that you would still NOT skip the Bayesian approach in order to make sure you didn’t miss something for that exact reason? A patient suggesting a zebra shouldn’t make you not see a horse.

@delicance3363 @Isanthropia Please stop cherrypicking, no one is upset with doctors JUST for asking a lot of questions if those doctors are not ALSO being dismissive of & possibly gaslighting the patient. The latter is the issue, & you’re not catching anyone out with such disingenuous fake inconsistencies.

“SantaCon outed as a criminal enterprise” feels so narratively tidy that I am stunned this is not a recycled story from 2018

@Carolebelanger7 @coupdecoeur @OliveSiffleur @anxiouscatmom @iseeuliars Ha, the other day I told an orthodontist during a consult that I’d studied anatomy & he said “where, on Google?” Me: “No, cadaver dissections… but there’s a lot of good material on Google/YouTube too if you know where to look”. Or at least there used to be before AI took over!

@pressedten @NotOmniseed @lilleethaa @jabberwock951 I don’t think anyone in these threads is upset by the idea that a doctor might be TOO thorough, but if the same doctor is dismissive of the patient’s input—even if the input is ridiculous—it’ll be harder for them to help that patient because the patient isn’t going to trust them.

[id-vortex @id_vortex]

@pressedten @NotOmniseed @lilleethaa @jabberwock951 It’s about asking the *right* questions, but also part of any successful interview is to meet the patient or subject where they are. Listening to people helps establish trust & then often you can get the answers you need so you can help them—or whatever the investigative goal is.

[id-vortex @id_vortex]

@uffdaput @Isanthropia Of course patients sometimes lie, but you might want to differentiate lying by omission vs giving false information. Every patient absolutely does the first at some point, even if only by accident—including when they’re doctors themselves!—but the second isn’t 100% universal.

[id-vortex @id_vortex]

@RealRavalicious @rbmichae80 @jabberwock951 Fair enough, but I think your earlier comment doesn’t read that way & there’s a lot of miscommunication & frustration on all sides here—+ you’re often dealing w/ scared/traumatized patients who’ve had documented negative health outcomes due to providers who didn’t listen to them

[id-vortex @id_vortex]

@KyLV902 @Isanthropia This also shows a profound misunderstanding of ADHD, which is not a condition that the reality of someone having can be affected by whether or not they believe they do.

[id-vortex @id_vortex]

@pressedten @NotOmniseed @lilleethaa @jabberwock951 And yet many never ask the questions they should, and patients are routinely misdiagnosed or have their symptoms dismissed (especially women, PoC, poor people, the chronically ill or anyone with a difficult to diagnose condition… the list goes on)

[id-vortex @id_vortex]

@ShowRayanne @jabberwock951 💯

[id-vortex @id_vortex]

@RealRavalicious @rbmichae80 @jabberwock951 Rather than just being like, “well if you want to diagnose yourself you should go to medical school”, I mean

[id-vortex @id_vortex]

@RealRavalicious @rbmichae80 @jabberwock951 Also if I tell a doctor my symptoms & ask how they would r/o or confirm a specific Dx which matches those symptoms, I’d hope they would just answer the question & give a basic explanation of what else they want to look at & why they’re ordering whatever tests they’re ordering etc
