<p>>everyone communicates differently<p>Yes, and those differences have an intrinsic value. As an example, my comment's "cover" communicates my discontent and frustration with "AI tone". As a matter of fact, my "cover" here became the discussion itself. Thus, my comment's "cover" is not actually a cover but a part of the communication. In contrast, the "AI tone" is just a cover to make a writing look superficially more professional without adding any value to the communicated idea or emotion.</p>

<p>Those firms have no say over which treatments are preferred on which patients in single-payer health systems. Actually, it is the exact opposite. When there is a single payer, they can haggle on behalf of the entire population so they have huge leverage over the treatment costs. The government can simply say "You either sell at the price that I want, or lose access to the entire market in this country.". That's why American drugs can be 10-100x more expensive than the rest of the world.</p>

<p>>The big-medicine industrial complex is always trying to get you to have worse health so they can maximize how much they bill you when you finally break.<p>Ok, if this is the argument that you want to use, here is a counterargument that completely destroys your viewpoint.<p>Most civilized countries don't bill the patient, and it is entirely funded by either taxes or mandatory public insurance. So just like how it is in "big-medicine industrial complex's" best interest to maximize profits, it is in the health system's best interest to lower cost. So if whole-body scans for otherwise healthy (as in no symptoms) people means less profit for those companies, it means less cost for the health system, which would mean they would be promoting (or even requiring) whole-body scans. MRI machines are much cheaper than doctors.</p>

<p>Yes and no. Some are just way overconfident in their knowledge of medicine and human body, while it is miniscule compared to the average physician's. Medicine is a field much larger than people realize. It is easy to think you know a lot when you don't even know how much you are missing.<p>Having a reason doesn't make it any less dangerous though.</p>

<p>That is relatively benign compared to what I've seen before. I normally refrain from repeating misinformation, even for debunking it but I will make an exception (or two). I've seen comments ranging from "salt intake doesn't increase blood pressure because you pee what you don't need" to "blood glucose levels aren't good for diagnosing diabetes".<p>Edit: OK, that's not really a "range". I have no idea why I phrased it like that. Both are very dangerous statements that can be life threatening if the wrong person believes it. I just hope that comment didn't cause any diabetic ketoacidosis cases.</p>

<p>Medical doctor here. Please don't get health advice from hn comments. As a matter of fact, I advice against reading anything about health on hn, as the risks of dangerous misinformation far outweigh any useful information you might learn here.</p>

Anki is a long term tool, writing something down once isn't. The time spent creating cards is better spent on doing more reviews.</p>

<p>Slightly (or very) off topic, but I think it fits so I will write what I feel about people talking about their AI experiences. Feel free to ignore my opinion. I just wanted to know if there is anyone who feels the same way.<p>Listening to someone talk about "their chat with ChatGPT" etc. feels very annoying. It's like they are explaining a dream they had in detail but even less informative or useful because a dream might suggest something about their state of mind. However, content like this (to be fair, this specific one isn't that annoying to me especially compared to "AI said this and that" kind of stuff) has absolutely no constructive value (to me) and feels almost schizophrenic. Maybe I feel this way because people around me, unlike the average HN user's social circle, have only superficial idea about how AI works but are very interested in using it.</p>
