Very true. Could be counting 50k IR sensors that count how many items pass on a belt. (Plus maybe a PIR motion sensor in the bathroom )

Many (most) antihypertensives need periodic monitoring for electrolytes or kidney function. In Mexico, they are not going to get sued if you go into renal failure as compared to the US. Partly done for you and partly because of the sorry tort system in the US
Does it have a decent mobile app for alerts?

Do you have any other info on how to do this? I've looked for this but cannot find how to do
Except it is.

"Tissue is the issue"

I have yet to see any of my radiologists differentiate a lung nodule that was actually a metastasis from the colon (which can easily miss on PET ) from primary adenocarcinoma/small cell/etc. Neither a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor from an adenocarcinoma based on a CT or PET.

I have (and often) see my patients incidentally discover masses on imaging. Perfect example- a pancreatic mass on imaging. Next stop is an anxiety filled few weeks while they wait for their biopsy to be scheduled. You then have an additional radiation exposure as these are CT guided. You hope the radiologist doesn't poke a hole in a nearby vessel, induce pancreatitis just by doing the biopsy itself, nor develop a subsequent infection related to the procedure. They then wait an additional week for pathology to result, often only to see normal pancreatic cells indicating this is a cyst.

All of this is often the result of looking for a seemingly innocent diagnosis. Eg an ultrasound to reassure your patient that their abdominal pain is not their gallbladder.

I had a similar event earlier today with a cervical lymph node seen on an ultrasound. Thyroid nodules, renal masses, lung nodules. How long do you have?

What the?
The only feasible way I see for removal is via donation or some form of hemodialysis. As the saying goes, the solution for pollution is dilution (or at least in the medical sense!)

Yeahhhh this crap is on every computer in the hospital I'm at (minus the ones on XP of course)

Just look at GoodRx recently to see how this veiled this threat is

Thank you for ambient2mqtt! I have been using that for a bit over a year now to interface with home assistant

My mirror less Olympus does this as well. Set number of f stops, exposures etc all in-camera
Gold standard we use in oncology are the National comprehensive Cancer Network - https://nccn.org There are guidelines for almost all malignancies and their standard methods of treatment. They are very detailed. They outline (many flowcharts) what to do on the second, third and sometimes 4th recurrence of malignancy.

You need to register for an account to view them, but it is still free I believe. You'll find out more than you would want to know there

Mostly this because you can easily tell when the switch occurs on your mpg gauge, but also increased friction from higher viscosity of lubricants, denser air and subsequent drag increase, increased tire rolling resistance etc
Oh man. Top 100 link at bottom is great. I just spent a good 15 minutes laughing
12v valves off Amazon. Don't get the cheap plastic ones. Get the brass versions

as long as you don't run several at once, can power from old wall wart with a few amps rating. I'm using a meanwell PSU so I can power a few other things - IR lights mostly

I prefer the same but still for important uses I'll write native code to serve as a back up - e.g sprinkler auto shut off after x minutes
