Weight isn’t the only consideration for emergency medicine dosing, though… There are lipophilic drugs in emergency medicine. CT scanners aren’t the only thing used in emergency medicine, point-of-care ultrasound is used by physicians too.
It’s not like biological sex is irrelevant in emergency medicine.
Cisgender women have a naturally higher percentage of body fat than cisgender men, so lipophilic drugs have a larger volume of distribution in women. They sink into the fat tissue, stay in the body longer, and can take much more time to clear out. Overlooking sex-based variations in volume of distribution can be dangerous in an emergency situation, it absolutely can result in adverse drug reactions.
That kind of information can be a factor in an emergency medicine situation, it’s not worth pretending that it’s not the case.
Medicine is one of the areas where biological sex is actually relevant.
I liked Dune and Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu both well enough.
No I haven’t, and I don’t know anyone who has been either. However, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, and I agree that people should be able to talk about it without being stigmatized or harassed - I wish more people agreed about that.
That is some serious doctor money flexing lmao
I’d do the same too if I could afford it though lol
They only have text on the home page, so I’m not super hopeful about that, but then they do link like 10 different compatible clients
100% it would have gone differently if they didn’t have a police officer in the family lol
You think he actually knows what AGI/GAI means? lol
I find this thread kind of weird, how like, we have people practically saying Amazon is the best thing ever and then we have people saying Amazon is the most evil thing/company ever etc.
There’s no in between, no nuance, nothing - it’s either one or the other. I find that pretty interesting.
You should look into TMR controllers, they are a lifechanger! No need to replace them.
Honestly I am not surprised at all that they have this. I’m more surprised that this information became public, but with AI I suppose it was inevitable.
Welp, there goes my backup career plan lmao
Society is so cooked.
This is actually so true lmao literally South Park even mentioned this recently tbh.
No, because I often use Cloudflare, and I end up getting emails when Cloudflare notices a new SSL cert, and I don’t want to get those emails every 6 days. I already get more than enough emails in general.
I think it would require reddit to die off even more than it already has, which just may happen.
This is true. Laws are for poor people.
That’s the problem with Lemmy. It’s not large enough to have active niche communities like gaming handhelds like Retroid ones, Anbernic ones, Steam Deck, etc.
It depends on whether the projects want to target their devs (forums, GitHub, etc) or end-users of their projects (Discord).
Discord servers can be archived thanks to projects like DiscordChatExporter, honestly often better than forums (since forums often have CF to prevent attacks and bots etc), but I think not many people know about.
The biggest problem is Discord doesn’t respect your privacy unlike forums hosted by communities usually do.
I mostly agree with you, but it’s not like overdoses caused by medical errors don’t ever happen either. Because it has a longer half-life (due to biological women commonly having a higher percentage of body fat compared to biological men, for example), medication levels can build up (as you mentioned) and result in adverse effects if you make a mistake with dosing. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics do matter too.
Just because it’s not common (because physicians are trained to handle it appropriately) doesn’t mean it’s not possible.
Like you said, demographics (including age, biological sex, etc) do matter.
