Obviously Tesla will lose market share, there are many more options now for EVs. If they continue to grow will be the more important metric. Maybe this will push them to actually fix all the issues with them, probably not though.

If only they cared more about basic human rights than their flag

I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that a company in an industry that touts its lack of regulation as a good thing would have a lack of proper internal controls.

lol

the shareholders are unhappy that they’re not getting their guaranteed 15% YOY dividends

That is basically splitting hairs, polyp removal and taking biopsies are considered parts of the procedure, they just aren’t always necessary. Sure, sometimes the polyp is too big and needs additional care.

One additional thing that I think is very important is use that time to understand pain points your boss has. If you know what your boss is trying to figure out then you can tailor your work to try to answer those questions. It also helps to get a general understanding of those sorts of things so you can try and…

They absolutely can prevent colon cancer though. If they detect and remove polyps then that could have very well turned into terminal cancer if left alone. If you don’t have any polyps then of course there is no preventative measure to take.

Prevention and early detection is the intent of the procedure. It’s one of the very few screening tools that can prevent cancer as well as detect it.

Not old enough yet but I will be getting one when I turn 40. I personally know a GI who made me aware that I should get screened early (and who has told me more about colonoscopies than I ever thought I’d ever know). The key is a good prep, if you don’t have a good prep then they might have to abort and do it again.

Know your family history. Talk to your parents and see if they’ve had any polyps. If they have had large ones you should be screened at 40 instead of 45. Try to get information on how their colonoscopies went and relay that information to your PCP, they should be able to see the guidelines to determine if you should…

I tried to like Apple Music but it is just not as good as Spotify. Bought a year so I’ll be stuck with it for a while but will likely switch when it’s done. Not because of the price increase but that makes the decision easier when the one I like better is cheaper, even if just $1.

I feel like a generic “dumb” watch with a timer would be way easier

You’re confusing less time to go through all the same, necessary steps as rushed. The COVID vaccines didn’t get to skip steps, they went through the same process as other vaccines. However, the main difference is the fact that COVID was so prevalent and so many people volunteered for the trials. That allowed them to…

Colonoscopies do not have “mixed results”, there is basically no debate in medicine about the value of a colonoscopy. This study found mixed results when doctors invite their patients to have a colonoscopy. You do not distinguish between the two in your headline.

There are other ways, it’s just that insurance might not cover them and so you’d have to pay out of pocket. There are pills you can take but your insurance isn’t going to pay a few hundred dollars when the stuff you drink is like $20. Talk to you GI about other options if you’re willing to pay for it.

Thank you for writing this so much more eloquently than I could

Ed, I normally really like your writing but this headline is misleading and potentially dangerously so. The study looks at people being offered a colonoscopy, not the outcomes from having a colonoscopy. Your headline makes zero distinction and the lay person could read that and think, well I guess I don’t need a…

Getting mine with the flu shot Monday. Can’t say I’m looking forward to it even though my side effects haven’t been too bad but I’ll definitely take it over the bout of COVID I had this summer. That was miserable.
