I’ve been using Autosync for years with good results first with Drive and Dropbox and now Pcloud. Supports a lot of different cloud services though not Proton which is why I haven’t started using that yet.

Oh yeah, a lot of common causes need to be evaluated plus we need to assess if the person should be on blood thinners due to the risk for a clot in the heart that can travel to the brain. I’ve admitted quite a few patients for new onset Afib due to their underlying causes as we didn’t think they were good to go home. Admittedly most people would be fine and we can be too cautious due to legal liability and physician anxiety over bad outcomes but considering the possible consequences, it’s not a terrible thing to do that.

Afib, which commonly causes palpitations, should be seen in the ER if you can’t get in to your PCP that day. Could be caused by a lot of things and a work up is warranted including lab work, echo, etc if new.

If you in the US, you’re primary care doc’s office wil havel an after hours number to call if you’re not sure. Unfortunately you’ll likely be told to go to the ER if it’s heart related because we have to err on the side of caution since we can’t evaluate you very well over the phone. Urgent cares are hit or miss since they’re staffed mostly by mid levels who may or may not be well trained but they can handle sore throats/colds, simple cuts/infections/foreign objects, STD testing, etc. depending on their facilities. I’ve been to one without basic labs which is crazy. I’d suggest calling you doc’s office first to see if they have acute visit slots that day. A lot will.

I’m not sure, only ever used it with my PC. As for the touchpad, haven’t noticed not having it but I mostly play COD and older aRPGs.

I just got a 8BitDo pro 2 because every PlayStation controller for the last 4yrs has broken in less than 6 months and it’s great. Feels good, connects over Bluetooth, and has Hall effect joysticks that aren’t prone to drift, which was the Sony controller main issue. All for $50. I think I’m done with Sony controllers.

Yeah, a good physical therapist will push you past your limits. From personal and professional experience, mental limitations will hold you back when you’re rehabbing. With my less uptight patients I’ll tell them physical therapists don’t give a shit about your pain and discomfort, they’re there to get you better. I love those fuckers, they do wonders.

Well shit, I grew one town over from there. Pretty sure that’s right by our cliff diving spot on the Croton Falls Reservoir. I never went in it most kids in highschool knew some “facts” about that mine.

Schwab app works for me on Graphene and that’s my main bank/stocks app. I’ve found I don’t really need all my credit card apps or my other bank app. I check once a day if that and just keep a bookmark. It hasn’t been bad at all.

Oof this is definitely wrong. A blood thinner is one of the most important things whether a patient is taking or not. It’s the nurses job to let the doctor know whether the patient is compliant not only for medical reasons but for documentation. That’s outside the argument about profit in healthcare in US, that’s basic medicine. What if that patient falls and hits their head? Do we need to know if they’re on s blood thinner? What if they’re hemoglobin starts dropping? What if they need a procedure? What tif their platelets start dropping? Etc, etc, etc.

Don’t be a dick and not do your job, that makes your coworkers miserable and puts people in danger especially in medicine. I agree with burlit being and issue and chronic understaffing but be an adult and quit or move positions if you don’t like it.

Thanks, that looks legit, especially considering they got a Nobel for the process. Red blood cells wouldn’t work though, no genetic material to tell the cell what to do. Skin cells sure but deeper layers before they ditch their nucleus. The bottom layer of your epidermis is already made of stem cells that continuously produce new keratinocytes (skin cells). That’d make sense as a starting point for what they did. I’ve been in medicine for seven years and there have been all kinds of crazy claims made but researchers so I’m always skeptical.

Do you have a link for the paper that describes the process for converting blood into stem cells? Curious how they went about it because making red blood cells into stem cells would be hard since they have no nucleus and no DNA. I googled but couldn’t find anything about how they do it.
