Laundry Day

@stormchasevideo @atrupar Median HOUSEHOLD income was $46,500 in 2005. So you are full of shit that you were on food stamps while making more individually than the median household income

$50k/yr wasn’t even affordable living in 2005. I made that and was in food stamps, ended up losing my house thanks to the corruption in the 08 Goldman Sachs/Paulson billionaire schemes. My kids have these “good jobs” now, and it takes two or three roommates just for them to make rent and still have food. This country has a government that has become destructive in its means. The greed for power and wealth has decimated our country and our economy.

Fox Business reporter: "Also, these guys, they make pretty good money. Some of them over $50,000 a year."

@ianeilbacher @awgaffney And those that I then refer on to get a tilt table test or perform orthostatics on? Almost always normal. Then go to a different doc to try and get the dx again. The folks masquerading around thinking they have the dx are ruining it for ppl like you who do have it.

@ianeilbacher @awgaffney x.com/crapitsben/sta…

@ianeilbacher @awgaffney Great! Then you are one of the very few ppl who can verify their diagnosis, obviously different than what I was describing!

@crapitsben @awgaffney Do you have evidence for this claim? Because my provider ordered a tilt table test after an in office NASA lean test and I was then diagnosed with POTS post covid. I'd like to see your evidence here because it just sounds like bad faith suspicion.

@internetuserf12 Says the quack.

None of these illnesses are rare or mistakable to an experienced provider. If you don't understand them, that's a you problem.

@DirtyHamasnik @awgaffney I see it every day in clinic. Medical record notes say “35 year old woman with history of EDS/POTS/MCAS who establishes care today for primary care…” and then gets referred to me, a specialist. I ask the pt for the records from the doc who dx’d them. They can’t provide them.

@crapitsben @awgaffney yeah that doesn't happen outside your imagination

@Old_Jake @singingsox @awgaffney Great. So if a doctor with a minimum of 7 years of medical education are making these mistakes, then how much confidence should we have in NPs in making the right diagnoses when they have a fraction of the education?

@crapitsben @singingsox @awgaffney Meanwhile, actual doctors are known to misdiagnose Lyme disease as ringworm.

@kirstymecfslife @awgaffney I see it every day.

@marissabruner @singingsox @awgaffney In the patient’s medical records. You know your doctor can see other providers’ notes in your medical record, right?

@crapitsben @singingsox @awgaffney “see” where? your imagination? are you attending the appointments with them?

@singingsox @awgaffney Because those are the providers I see misdiagnosing people with these garbage bin diagnoses

@crapitsben @awgaffney You’ve mentioned NPs across a few comments… is there a reason you think they’re incapable of diagnosing this? Tilt table isn’t the only way when the standing & lean tests exist. Tilt tables aren’t fool proof & don’t simulate daily life/actually standing. autonomicneuroscience.com/article/S1566-…

@Rijsixmj_669 A pathologist is not taking your blood… you mean phlebotomist?

Every time i need to do bloodwork its an argument with the pathologist Me: I'm anaphylactic to latex can you confirm your gloves are latex free Them: I just have these gloves (shows their hand) Me: I get that but I need to know if it has latex can you check the box or I need to find another pathologist Them: why? Its just gloves Me: And its just I'll die, can you check the box for "no latex" label. I also can't use your sticky tape or bandaids to hold the cotton so I'll just hold it to stem the blood as they have latex in the glue Them: Tape and bandaids are fine *tries to put either on me* Me: Again, they have latex but if you want to perform anaphylactic first aid go for it [sarcastically hands my epi pen over...and now they fuck off with their insistence of using tape/bandaids]

@AnhedoniaOakley @awgaffney hEDS?

@crapitsben @awgaffney Geneticist actually.

@HalfThePerson @awgaffney Interesting. Every patient with “POTS” I’ve ever sent for testing always has normal orthostatics and negative tilt table test.

@awgaffney It takes 5.8 years to get a proper POTS diagnosis Only 25% of pts are diagnosed within the 1st year of symptoms 69% of POTS pts are misdiagnosed with anxiety If anything, POTS is severely underdiagnosed dysautonomiainternational.org/page.php?ID=184

@IsabelleRayza @awgaffney I’m sorry you’re doctorate is from where?

@awgaffney We have strong measurable criteria for POTS and hEDS, with the hEDS criteria being officially revised later this year. Beighton scores and tilt table tastes have a very high standard for diagnosis, and while MCAS or Lyme are harder to diagnosis (ill admit to having a gap in-

@AnhedoniaOakley @awgaffney Diagnosed by an NP I bet

@awgaffney I’ve been formally dx’ed. The only “benefit” it conferred me was being treated like a medical oddity in vulnerable moments. People are not doing this for fun. I literally have to spell things for “specialists”. I get zero diagnosis specific care or attention, quite the contrary.

@suzyleebee @MTD_MED How did you get colored pencils vs just pencils lol

@MTD_MED Foreign body. Colored pencils??

CT Scan of a patient with a history of schizophrenia who presented to the ER with abdominal pain. What’s the diagnosis?

@GazLear @gudanglifehack Thank you!

@gudanglifehack Need to switch off access to control centre when the phone is locked so they can’t switch on airplane mode

Your iPhone has been stolen. The thief turned it off. Find My shows “Offline.” Your data, your photos, your mobile banking—it’s all in his hands. But if you’ve set up these three things beforehand, the thief is just holding an $880 piece of metal that can’t be touched.

🚨MIT researchers have mathematically proven that ChatGPT’s built-in sycophancy creates a phenomenon they call “delusional spiraling.” You ask it something, it agrees. You ask again, and it agrees even harder until you end up believing things that are flat-out false and you can’t tell it’s happening. The model is literally trained on human feedback that rewards agreement. Real-world fallout includes one man who spent 300 hours convinced he invented a world-changing math formula, and a UCSF psychiatrist who hospitalized 12 patients for chatbot-linked psychosis in a single year.
