I mean, TBH, what AI song put together by fighter pilots wouldn’t end with a double entendre?

Do you think Huberman and Attia belong somewhere on the figure or adjacent?

“Honor bound on penalty of my soul”
Man, that hits harder these days than I ever would have imagined when I first raised my right hand in a conference room at age 24. Real “When a man takes an oath he’s holding his own self in his hands.” Hard thoughts to contemplate.

So many options out there, it drives me crazy when folks downplay side effects for Depo and Nexplanon/Implanon in particular.

I wanted to strangle the flight doc who told one of my fighter pilots the Nexplanon was “the best fit” for her without going over any other options. Unsurprisingly, unpredictable or continuous vaginal bleeding isn’t a very negligible side effect for a fighter pilot. We took that thing out.

Sad thing is, death/permanent disability rates are gonna be a lot higher in the next “big one” despite medical advanced. And it will mainly be driven by logistical considerations/investments/divestments made well prior.

Let’s just hope DHA leaves us enough clinical bodies with enough current training for that.
Yeah, big emphasis now is on Prolonged Field Care, mil-civ integration (at least for the Euros, can’t say the US has done any of that), done a lot of training with NATO partners on that one.

Yeah man, all of us medics have fully wrapped our brains around the fact there will be no golden hour in a war in the Pacific. Not even close. If you put a map of Afghanistan to scale with the Pacific and look at the assets we had to have for GH…not happening.

Yeah, but that makes my heuristic “the road to hell is paved with unexplained tachycardia” that much more stressful in clinic…

Yep. Anyone who has any questions regarding this just needs to go to a CBRN exercise with the French. Or the Brits. Or any of the Scandi militaries. Same for pilots and oxygen masks.
Make it make sense.

White folks can get PFB if they have the right hair, US Air Force papers cite 20%, but the only citation I can find in the literature gives 3% prevalence for non-black, non-hispanic folks. Whereas yeah…up to 80% of folks of African heritage develop PFB. Draw what conclusions ye may from that.

…for those actually in the humanities professions because we get babied in survey courses. Then of course the comparison is “Geeze I was DYING in Calc II but basically slept through History of Modern China, history is super easy.”

That being said, from watching my wife complete her master’s in Public History, I KNOW that the level of reading and writing he expected was absolutely not at the professional historian level. Not even remotely.
I think most STEM folks just never have a chance to see where the bar is…

…but it was worth it. The man was a fiend for perfect writing and the reading list was extensive. His sections would hollow out after the first week except for the core of students who enrolled specifically for him. He gave every student a 50 page writing guide and your papers came back bleeding…

…very section dependent. Everyone in the honors college knew which History of Western Civ sections were good for GPA padding/tough semesters. However, it was a widely known fact that if you wanted to learn how to write well you took Dr. Robbin’s section. It very nearly sank my sophomore semester…

I think this, that it is about where the bar is for acceptable writing in a UG humanities course, that drives a lot of this perception of the humanities being “easy” is correct.
