Def not a math major (BS/PharmD), but your explanation was like seeing through a visual illusion for the first time! lol

I was always taught PEMDAS growing up, and that the MD and the AS was read left to right in an equation like above. But stating the division as a fraction completely changes my mind now about how this calculation works. I think what would happen in a calculation I use every day if the former was used.

Example: Cockcroft-Gault Equation (estimation of renal function)

(140-age)(kg) / 72(SCr) vs (140-age) X kg ➗72 X SCr

In the first eq (correct one) an 80yo patient who weighs 65kg and has an SCr ~ 1.5 = 36.11

In the latter it = 81.25 (waaay too high for an 80yo lol)

edit: calculation variable

Well a very merry unbirthday to you as well!

This is correct… there is 2 things to remember here

1. CVS only has nurse practitioners, nurses, or pharmacists that are doing the screening, and must refer for certain cases
2. There are 2 types of UTIs….

• complicated and uncomplicated
• Men ALWAYS have a complicated uti due to the anatomy of where the uti is located
• women can have either, these NPs are only allowed to treat UNCOMPLICATED UTIS and must refer all complicated cases to a physician.

FYI it has nothing to do with insurance

I would like to see them add what kbin does with 3,6,12,etc hour options for top, active, and hot

WOW! This is really cool! Seems a little unrealistic in real world capabilities for now, but very cool. I wonder if phone manufacturers will limit cameras in some way going forward. Kinda reminds me of Sony once had to recall a camera that could see through clothes where something is found to be nefarious later after release due to unintended advances in tech

Nothing is ever free. You pay somewhere.

Mullvad the best VPN around (IMHO) is 5euro (5.40 usd)/Month … Not very expensive (one again IMHO)

PIA is what, $40/yr, or something like that

I wouldn’t risk it without a VPN. I guess you could use TOR or i2p, but I don’t use enough of either to make a valid comment on its use.
