Subsequent encounter means you're seeing the doctor again for the same problem. So if you got sucked into a jet engine and lived somehow you'd probably be seeing the doctor a bunch of times, and the second doctor visit and all later visits would be encoded as "subsequent encounter"

I love weird icd 10 codes, my favorite is V91.07, burn due to water-skis on fire. Like has that ever actually happened? If so please post link, I must know.

I think this would be an interesting article for discussion. Some of these articles in popular media I feel adopt an overly hostile tone toward doctors and assume the worst of a situation. Part of this is the necessity of health care privacy laws that prevent us from getting all sides of a story which could shed more light on a situation.

I think it also ignores the huge flipside problem of this, confidently telling someone they have a diagnosis even though you shouldn't and they don't. For instance I often see someone who's been referred to me and told confidently they have a deadly disease or a genetic disease, told everyone in their life they have this, joined online support groups, and made big life choices based on that info, but they actually don't have the disease. And the information the diagnosis was based on was nowhere near confident enough to say so. It was right to seek further evaluation and there may have been some abnormality, but even if the diagnosis should be mentioned as a possibility, the patient shouldn't have been told they definitely have this thing yet because the certainty was just not there. Anyway, I think there's lots of interesting aspects of this article to think about.

A fascinating condition. You can walk away, come back ten minutes later and have the exact conversation in the exact same way even down to the person's vocal intonations. It is uncanny. Truly gives you existential "oh my god I'm a meat computer" thoughts if you ever see it for yourself.

Luckily if someone gets this they are back to normal in less the a day, and it's uncommon to have multiple episodes.

Well that's enough internet for today. Geeze. So glad these people are being tracked down so they can be brought to justice.

On the instances where hot is working, I think it does work pretty nicely for this. Hopefully it'll be up and working everywhere very soon with the next update. When I'm on an account with an instance where it's not working, I tend to switch between top-day and new. Going into individual communities as well you can easily see what was popular.

I think as an end user of a platform like reddit, it's easy to just want to browse a site and look at some interesting content when you have a few minutes downtime and not think much of it. The vast majority of people on the site aren't even really contributing to content in any way. I barely ever did until hearing about the fedverse.

What got me to care and take the effort to start up here wasn't even really the recent reddit move specifically, like sure this was a crappy thing to do on their part and they've done a lot of bad stuff before too. But it was seeing all these social media platforms and web services in general go one after the other becoming worse and worse for the users and ever more invasive. I think it's just clear now that a centralized social media isn't sustainable and going to work, and will always have that end result.

What's so appealing about the fedverse is I think it's a model for how these problems can be avoided and services can still go forward. I think the best we can do is be active on the fedverse, make it an appealing place to be by contributing, with programming skills if we have them or fresh content if we don't, and continue to point out how these big web companies continue to fail us.

No that was super funny. Crashing the UK economy seemingly overnight all in a bid to save the richest people in the country a few bucks? Now that's not funny

I found this server via the join lemmy site and really like it, but noticed the communities here don't appear on https://browse.feddit.de/ which seems to be the way most people are finding communities across other instances. I was wondering if that was deliberate, and if not how to get the mander.xyz communities listed so that those at other instances who are interested in the communities here might able to find them and participate.

How are those out there who grade essays or teach writing skills planning on dealing with the monumental advances in easily accessible ai language models this year?

Starter comment: pharmaceutical industry reps in the article had the nerve to call drug price negotiations extortion? Meanwhile you have companies like biogen bragging to investors about how their ridiculously priced drugs could bankrupt Medicare. Maybe if they didn't spend the vast majority of their revenues on marketing and saved a higher percentage for actual r&d they could have more reasonable pricing.

Republicans racing to gut programs that help keep the government budget balanced and others that actually massively benefit their own districts. Highlights of the article include $375 million alone spent by the pharmaceutical industry lobbying to try and kill provisions to allow the government to negotiate drug prices.

Yeah not sure what that headline is about, I enjoyed splatoon and thought it was a pretty unique game. More games in the genre is good, spurs innovation and new ideas. No sleep lost unless someone has some toxic brand loyalty. I hope this game does well.

The Reuters article is a little light on what's included. Wanted to post a free article anyone could access. Lots of good information, multiple lines of evidence, and interesting soviet history of the dam in the actual article Reuters is citing.

From the history of pretty crazy self experimentation in medicine, a doctor has a cutaneous branch of his own radial nerve surgically cut. He then meticulously documents the progress of nerve regrowth, initial total numbness followed by neuropathic pain, and a partial return of sensation over time
