Many years ago I hurt my knee playing sports. I was referred to the orthopedist for one of the local pro teams. After keeping me waiting for 2.5 hours, he diagnosed a cartilage tear and recommended surgery. I was so mad at his manner and tardiness I left without scheduling. The next week I got a second opinion from a much younger doc who was likely more current on the recent medical literature. He looked at the same MRI. He said he could do surgery now but his advice was to wait 30 days and see if it healed on its own. It did. Medical reversal is when a practice that became widely used is later shown to be ineffective or even harmful. Examples like meniscus surgery show the need to keep gathering evidence. A not immaterial part of the practice of modern medicine doesn't improve health, and may be net harmful.















Milestone: The Claude Portfolio just passed $15,000,000 in capital on Autopilot. 'Capital' here refers to those who've connected their brokerages and allocated funds to follow Claude’s stock picks automatically. What started as a $50K experiment to test whether Claude’s agents could outperform the market has grown into a social-driven investing community. Appreciate everyone following along as it continues to evolve.
