BREAKING: Sam Altman and OpenAI are working on a deal between Anthropic and the US Pentagon, per WSJ.
This comes just hours after Anthropic rejected US Defense Secretary Hegseth's "final offer."
Anthropic continues to state that their platform should not be used for mass surveillance of Americans and autonomous weapons.
The US seeks unrestricted use.
„Es muss alle 2 Jahre eine Bestandsprüfung vollzogen werden. Dabei ist die Verträglichkeitsprüfung der Flora-Fauna-Habitatrichtlinie ausgeblieben. Das Gericht hat daher eine Förderung bis auf weiteres untersagt.“
Aber Deutschland kauft jährlich 85 Mio Tonnen Erdöl im Ausland.
Is there an epidemic of Autism, is it finally being recognized more by clinicians and treated…or are some fraudsters gaming the safety net system at the expense of taking resources away from those who really need them? The recent Data Dump @SamirUnni has discussed on @DRsLoungePod is raising some legit questions.
Another great essay by @adamcifu @Sensible__Med
Covid is a sticky subject because so many factual and policy issues remain unresolved and so many lessons remained to be learned.
For me, the most important is how easily too many Americans were deceived and frightened into throwing away our freedoms and turning against one another, following charlatans and demogogues making false promises of "safety." Our leaders failed miserably and betrayed America's ethos.
.@SecKennedy’s team has done hundreds of meetings with retailers to discuss how to use the MAHA political moment to push positive change.

This is one reason why so many people now feel unmoored. As Canadian science fiction writer Donald Kingsbury eloquently put it in his novel Courtship Rite, “Tradition is a set of solutions for which we have forgotten the problems. Throw away the solution and you get the problem back.”

Dr. Bowden is amazing, and I've been reading about the TMB's surreal persecution of her for ~a year. Therefore I was most interested in hearing the POV of the doctors of the Lounge on the situation. Every comment was very interesting and insightful, and I learned a lot.

"Warken will offenbar Freiwilligkeit der elektronischen Patientenakte aushebeln", vermeldet Norbert Häring.
https://norberthaering.de/news/warken-epa/
Hat irgendjemand etwas anderes erwartet?
Norbert Häring weiter: "Ersteinschätzung, Terminvermittlung und Facharztüberweisung sollen nach den Plänen der Gesundheitsministerin künftig über die elektronische Patientenakte (ePA) laufen. Das berichtet das Deutsche Ärzteblatt. Die Zeitung zitiert die Ministerin mit den Worten:
„Die ePA ist dann der zentrale Dreh- und Angelpunkt, über den alles läuft und wo man dann Einblick nehmen kann, wo jemand gelandet ist, ob es das Ersteinschätzungsverfahren schon gab und ob eine elektronische Überweisung vorliegt. Das soll einheitlich laufen.“
Das dürfte bedeuten, dass diejenigen, die der Einrichtung einer ePA widersprochen haben, nach Umsetzung dieser Pläne nur noch mit Einschränkungen und zusätzlichem Aufwand Zugang zu den benötigten ärztlichen Leistungen haben werden."
So you're telling me that when push comes to shove, after years of a 'strategic alliance,' the American base in Doha is packing up and moving to Israel because Qatar isn't really a partner in the effort to prevent a nuclear Iran? Who saw that coming?

R to @Quo_vadis_BRD: 2/ Prof. Degenhart spricht über das „Klima der Angst“, das sich als „grundrechtsfeindlich“ erwiesen habe, über das „Meinungsklima“ (§5 GG), das „sehr stark vergiftet“ worden sei und sich in ein „Freund-Feind-Denken aufgelöst“ habe (Bsp. Vertreter der Labortheorie), und über die Freiheit der Medien, die ebenso beschädigt worden sei.
So hätten sich Medien als „Akkomodationsmedien“ erwiesen, die ihren Auftrag in der „Verlautbarung“ gesehen hätten, nicht jedoch ihre Funktion als „Wächter der Verfassung“.

Regardless of whether you agreed with @MaryBowdenMD what @anish_koka writes is sound analysis. Medicine remains an art with far too much gray to approach things the way we did during COVID- which in many ways was the ultimate unknown we struggled to understand early on. Courage is standing for your convictions to help your patients. More physicians should consider @MaryBowdenMD to be heroic even if they vehemently disagreed with her conclusions. Science is rarely if ever settled and we always have a moving target to help our patients. Respect

Dr. Bowden (@MaryBowdenMD) entered the @DRsLoungePod to talk about her battle with local hospitals and the Texas Medical Board.
The health systems operate like a mafia because there are virtually no levers physicians have to deploy on their behalf.
You have to be willing to lose it all (your ability to practice medicine) unless you back down, pay the fine, agree to “retraining” and walk away with your tail between your legs.
Keep your head down, don’t say anything, and return to your comfortable life is the motto of most physicians.
To the physicians that tut tut about “that’s not how it’s done” - emergency privileges were being granted across the country to any MD with a pulse (research general cardiologist went to NYC to manage vented COVID pneumonia patients) .. and doctors with the accepted social causes routinely criticize health systems publicly.
Dr. Bowden was targeted because she was trying to prescribe a relatively benign medication that was not approved by the establishment. She also opposed vaccine mandates at a time that was incredibly unpopular.
I guarantee you a research cardiologist who hasn’t managed a vent since training is far more dangerous to a vented Covid pneumonia patient than ivermectin. Disagreements about works/doesnt work happen all the time. We should give very wide latitude to physicians to practice as they choose. The medical boards exist to protect their patients from doctors that want to administer cyanide or amputate the healthy limbs of children.. and they do a horrid job of that - focusing on the specifics of ivermectin and privileges (that she believed she had been granted) is completely missing the point.
Bravo to Dr. Bowden for fighting when everyone else wilts away.
RCT: Intraoperative high PEEP and recruitment maneuvers did not decrease the incidence of postoperative #PulmonaryComplications and were associated with more hypotension during open abdominal surgery.
