Misleading title. Eroded ability to find precancerous colon polyps, not cancer. I am a gastroenterologist that consults at the local VA hospital. They started using Medtronic GI Genius AI last year across the USA. It has a very high false positive rate for true polyps so I suspect this is playing a role in this study in addition to doctors becoming overly reliant on it. Overall I think it is a promising technology once they refine the models.


I had a 2001 Tundra. When I looked at a new Tundra in 2016 it was basically the same interior with the same knobs and controls as my 2001. I ended up with a Ford F150 instead. I think they made changes to the 2017 Tundra interior. Toyota just sticks with what works once they iron out the bugs. Other car manufacturers go for the bling to get people to buy.


I stopped alcohol 570 days ago using the Scott Adams reframe of "alcohol is poison". I quit because my son was abusing alcohol and I wanted to set a better example, and show him that you can still have a good time without alcohol. I definitely sleep better than I did when I would drink socially.

This is a major motivator for me for vices in general. When you say one thing then do another you shouldn’t be surprised when you don’t get any compliance.


I found that out while in medical residency and fellowship. 100% political. Has nothing to do with the validity of a study. It is why I left academic medicine.


I would rather have an eReader that does more like my two Kindle Scribes, but costs a lot more. I will never go back to cheaper eReaders after using the Scribe.


My current biggest money drain is for equipment and supplies for a small farm/homestead we bought last year. Never knew compact tractors with all the bells and whistles cost so much. Plus I like to buy EDC tools off of Kickstarter.


Doctors are not allowed to unionize in the US. Nurses are a different story.


I have been using it for a year since we bought a small farm. I donated to support them just last month. Great app. Only thing I see trip it up is mockingbirds.


As a gastroenterologist for over 30 years the healthiest patients I see are either on carnivore or paleo diet. The sickest patients are the vegans. This article does not agree with my experience.


As a doctor I called out Elizabeth Home's as a fraud when she first hit the scene. I have no doubt her partner is also a fraud.
