penultimatestraw 473 Posted January 15, 2018 My doctor uses web md all the time. Hes always pulling up articles anout different vitamins or terrifying diseases, and printing them out, whenever I see him. Its no different than me using google to grab blocks of generic code, whenever I work on a new enhancement. Hes a bit of a spastic though. Maybe we both suck at our jobs.Web MD is fine for explaining medical topics in layspeak. But you wouldn’t want your doctor using it as a primary medical reference. Like any other profession, there are a ton of on-line medical resources. There is a site called Uptodate that many health professionals use, and contains fairly in-depth information. But it requires a subscription, and is lacking when the diagnosis is more obscure. Ideally, you’d want your doc to use sites like Uptodate, read a couple of the major journals and attend at least one major conference a year. Unfortunately, few doctors adhere to this standard, especially those with busy private practices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The whole para prefix works for digby on so many levels. I used to call him a paradoctor because he reminded me of the Danny Devito character in Rainmaker who couldnt pass the bar so he referred to himself as a paralawyer.

Voltaire 4,630 Posted January 19, 2018 Keep in mind you are on a FF Bored overall,if you were on a site catering to music lovers the results might be quite different. That's the charts. This song is great - see how it spent six weeks at #1! Google: greatest hits of the '80s. Hell, I did myself the first day. Then I could just use that as a cheatsheet and parrot the results that the site tells me fan acclaim came up with. Granted there was a lot of good ones there too but I was unhappy with what I was looking it. I took it as just suggestions. I wasn't going to sell myself out taking songs other people like because they wound up high on the poll while mine didn't. If we were on a site catering to music lovers, it'd be segregated by genre and the voting would be bouncing around upside down and backwards depending on which site we chose. We all like what we like. I'm not sure saying any set of music lovers is any better than any other set, even when those people prefer rap or 90s music. Who am I to judge? I just know what I like. When I took Rush - Tom Sawyer in round three, jerry posted a comment "That's a big fock you to the charts, it topped out at 34" (or something). I didn't even know that. I didn't look. I took it because I focking love it and thought it was the best Rush song. I'm disappointed the song wasn't better received when it was released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didnt pay attention to the charts unless I was curious about the chart history of a song I liked. I just relied on memory to recall those early days of watching mtv and what I liked, what I didnt and what I was listening to on 8 track or cassette at the time. I made a draft list from that and stuck to it. As I said before, there are some sh!tty songs picked, even though they were damned popular at the time.

First off I did say might be different in my post.Secondly,I did not allow a chart to pick my draft,had I done that I easily would have had all #1's including some Michael Jackson and rap,which I had none because like you I took what I liked and said as much early on in the draft thread I'm choosing songs I wouldn't be ashamed to have blaring if I pulled up to a stop light with my window down.
