Obligatory: this meme uses POV wrong
Shit, I’ve seen them looking things up on Google and WebMD now.
“For reasons we can’t explain, we are losing her. We don’t know why. She has lost the will to live.”

“It’s alright, Scro. All kindsa 'tards lead kick-ass lives. My ex wife? Totally 'tarded. She’s a pilot now…”

Cool user name.
Thankee sai!
That’s exactly what I had in mind.
And then, a couple of seconds later, over his shoulder you see a plane crashing.
…how come no tatoo?
Why don’t you have thisss
Xitter be like
First they would start with:
As a large language model…
Can someone translate this caption from kid-pidgin to English? Google just gave up.
Your doctors don’t know shit they just managed thorough med school with the help of the internet.
Not a future scenario btw, already the case.
Point of View: It is the year of our lord two thousand and thirty, and your doctor has told you “I do not know brother, that is tough.” Because they used a large language model throughout their college classes.
The only slang here is POV and idk which are fairly common acronyms. Maybe you’re posting in the wrong thread by mistake?
I used ChatGPT through nursing school. It may not have the clinical judgement of the smartest nurses I’ve known, but it’s nowhere near the retardation of the stupidest ones.
In favor of ChatGPT powered medical professionals:
No Cluster B personality disorders No Generalized amxiety disorder Did not come out of medical school dependant on Vyvanse and/or Adderall.
Also another serious question: why the fuck are you trying to demonize an anxiety disorder? In fact while I am here why are you trying to demonize personality disorders caused ultimately by childhood trauma?
I can understand making the argument that someone with NPD doesn’t belong in medicine for safety reasons. But anxiety disorders? Really? How is that going to impact their performance? Surely someone with anxiety is more likely to double or triple check things that others would miss.
Now why would someone taking medication for an illness be a bad thing? If the purpose of medicine is to treat illness then surely the doctor taking theirs can only be a good thing, no?
If it’s used as a performance enhancer it’s not an illness, and its odd how most pharmacies in my area completely sell out of ADHD meds around the time of finals/midterms. And Ive been in a relationship woth an Adderall abuser, its not pretty.
Now if drugs in general were legalized this would be less of a problem as there wouldn’t be pharmacies running out because of recreational or off-label use, but I will get off that soapbox for a second.
NT people who are using amphetamines or methylphenidate for performance enhancement are idiots. There is only one area where these things can actually improve NT performance, and that’s in situations where you absolutely need to stay up at unusual hours. That’s why militaries across the world have used them, and some countries continue to use them. Soldiers falling asleep during battle is apparently not ideal. Outside of that scenario though I have only seen evidence of it harming performance overall. Even in military use the USA military have switched to modafinil for a reason.
Adderall is an amphetamine derivative, so I can’t imagine it’s good to abuse that long term. Being prescribed it by a doctor does not count as abusing it though. The fact that people think it is abuse is part of the reason diseases like ADHD are so stigmatized.
As for the phenomenon of running out in the midterm and finals: it is entirely possible that some people with legit ADHD only need their medication during times when more is being demanded of them. I don’t think it’s fair to punish these people. There are also people with prescriptions selling the stuff though, which isn’t great, but again could be resolved through legalization.
