Well as a medical professional you should know that the answer is meth, obviously

Much respect! I worked at a level 1, all run by CRNAs, the best group of providers I’ve ever seen.

30 hours without sleep should not have you going delirious and disassociating.

> Medical error is estimated to be the 3rd leading cause of death in the US leading to 250,000 deaths each year.

This is a highly controversial article. Among other things, it considers any intervention that leads to patient death an "error".

In other words, suppose you have an advanced brain tumor. Without treatment, you will die in 6 months. Your surgeon offers an operation that can cure you, but has a 10% mortality risk. You accept the risk.

According to that paper, if you die on the operating table then your death will be counted among the 250000 "deaths by medical error". To avoid errors, surgeons should not operate at all on high risk patients.

I don't think most people would equate known risk with medical error. And that's the only way the authors end up with such a high figure.

There are “dialects” in mainland China that aren’t just different languages, they belong to completely different language families.

Is there a word for a visual reminder?

Not a visual mnemonic so much as something that makes you remember some specific process or task?

I'm thinking along the lines of visual landmarks to remember when to turn when driving - turn left after the gas station with a giant tree.

Or leaving something out of place in a conspicuous area to remind yourself that something needs to be done.

Essentially, the word for a visual "make you think about something relevant".

You people seriously think that our bodies don't get used to caffeine?

you get almost 0 effect from it at some point

That’s why you’re not a surgeon, right? I’m imagining this whole thread being about Navy Seals. They’re just different. It makes sense that someone who started an operation finishes it. It’s like learning an entire machine no one has ever seen, working on it, and then handing it off halfway through to someone else who has never seen it. Except the machine dies if you take to long to figure it out again.

Typically surgeons, proceduralists, and anesthesia are outside contractors. This varies and some or all can be hospital employees, especially when the hospital is an academic medical center.

This is how a surgeon can have what’s called “privileges” at multiple facilities.

Thank you for the reply, appreciate your insight!

No, bit in fringe cases it is still considered "missing link".

Mainstream idea is simply time and interbreeding. Geneticists can trace neanderthal DNA in modern humans which helped strengthen the claim that there never was a missing link at all. It was all compatibility and time like any other animal on the planet.

There are those who make the claim that we where "helped" but they usually have everything they are tied to their viewpoint, much like flat-earthers. Ignoring any proof that doesn't support their theory no matter how well tested and explained.

Earth, heh.

Aside from that, in the solar system I'd put the best odds on subsurface oceans in some of the outer moons or deep in the crust on Mars.

You should provide the context where you found them if you can, I or someone else might be able to help out more in that case.

"Darwinism" and "Darwinian" aren't really something I would think of as technical terms but are usually used to refer to some form of evolution involving natural selection....so if I were to hazard a guess, I would say that probably what they are talking about is something like a genetic algorithm, so maybe searching for information on that will help.

"Well, that's how I learned to do it, and I survived. These kids just need to learn to toughen up."

The old saw is that a language is a dialect with an army. Basically, there's a lot of overlap between the two, and the difference isn't so much technical as it is political/social.

One of the reasons is you can't do controlled experiments in macroeconomics. Can't start with 3 identical countries and try them with higher, normal and lower interbank rates, while making sure everything else is the same.
