MD/GP. Zdravnica DM. Family medicine is the best. Also, science rocks, and so does Terry Pratchett. And when I grow up, I want to be paleontologist, write a fantasy novel, and understand quantum physics.

Do diets cause eating disorders?
I've seen the claim made many times online, so I looked into it. Surprisingly, best evidence seems to show that if anything, diets REDUCE the risk of eating disorders.

Do Diets Cause Eating Disorders?
Despite the common claims, the answer is probably not.

The Rules of Anaesthesia are fantastic. Is there an equivalent for intensive care? If not, what would you include?

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.

Respiratory infections spread mainly through the air. That’s why they affect the lungs.
Masks, worn correctly and consistently, reduce the spread of respiratory infections.
Respirators work better than masks.
Washing hands isn’t wrong, but it won’t stop airborne transmission.

I honestly believe all LLM results should come with a disclaimer reminding people that the thing doesn’t (and absolutely cannot) know any facts or do any reasoning; it is simply designed to *sound* like it knows facts and frequently sweeps some up accidentally in the process.
I really think many if not most of the LLM fail cases are people trying to use it as a search engine. It is the opposite of a search engine.
