Hello /sci/, i'm being sued
I am a male OB/GYN fresh out of residency. 6 months ago I got a job at a private clinic. The patients are largely middle to upper class, and I love my job.
Since i'm a new doctor, the vast majority of the patients I see are for gyno and not obstetrics.
As a male gyno, naturally I get fewer patients. Our clinic has 4 full time MDs, 3 of which are women and me, who replaced a male doctor who was very much loved by the community.
Here is my issue: I'm being sued
As a male OB/GYN, I've faced a lot of hardships. There has to be a female nurse on hand for all the examinations for legal reasons. A lot of women prefer to wait months for the female doctors rather than see me. I can totally understand that.
The reason i'm being sued is because of a MtF trans patient. This person came for a pelvic exam two weeks ago. Immediately, this patient was hostile when I asked perfectly routine questions that I ask of any patient. A lot of their medical history was blank and it took a long time for me to piece together the information needed to give an accurate diagnosis.
From my standpoint, there was very little I could do for them. I specialize in female anatomy. A normal pelvic exam involves looking at the vagina, cervix, then examining the womb and ovaries....none of which this patient had.
So, i'm currently being sued for discrimination, from a patient who literally did not have the biological parts that I specialize in.
What should I do, /sci/?
its their word against yours, and everyone knows that trannies are whiny little bitches.
with that being said, your private clinic should be handling everything, not you.
>>8139418
They are, naturally. The thing i'm worried about is because i'm so new, it would be easier for them to throw me under the bus and hire someone new rather than fight this person.
Honestly, what did that patient expect?
They aren't gonna get a pregnancy test, they can't use birth control, they can't get cervical cancer or ovarian problems.
Is this some kind of civil rights martyrdom shit that I shouldn't worry about?
>>8139413
>being sued for discrimination, from a patient who literally did not have the biological parts that I specialize in.
wow that is so ignorant and bigoted op, might want to check your privilege next time instead of resorting to these cis white male patriarchal facts and logic
What are some methods you have used to increase your IQ?
Do IQ tests until you become a biobot.
>>8138239
Don't be a faggot and actually do shit that matters like learning now things instead of thinking about your IQ.
I went back in time and fucked my own mother, ensuring that I would have the highest IQ my genetics would allow.
>scientism
Why do people in STEM have such myopic world views? I thought "because science" was just a thing in general society, but people in physics seem to just as fundamentally misunderstand empiricism and the goals and bounds of science.
Why do people believe that science is asocial and apolitical? Why do they believe that "science" is the only valid form of knowledge? It sends a shiver down my spine when these kids in my classes, who are obviously bright, are so neglectful of the world outside their cozy academic bubble. You are not a better person for knowing science, and knowing science does not qualify you to comment or hold an informed opinion on things outside the realm of science.
And science is not everything. That statement makes me want to rip my fucking hair out.

If we're gonna play this game, I'm an honors physics major in a highly selective program and I do computational physics research with a professor in a world renowned theoretical physics institute.
Our planet rotates around a star, our sun alongside the solar system just rotates around our galaxycore, galaxies seem to rotate around each other. Assuming there are actually several other Universes, do they rotate too?
>>8137791
>Assuming there are actually several other Universes, do they rotate too?
Depends first on if the bulk actually exists.
You'd also have to assume that the universes existed in some extra space to be able to move. There's no reason to expect something like that
>>8137806
why
What is the science behind how long you last in bed/how many rounds you go for/how you perform?
How long do you last in bed /sci/?
Do you go for multiple rounds?
Multiple rounds? Hah, oh my, no. LTR, buddy. We're lucky to fuck once a month. After one round, we're more concerned with figuring out where we left off in The Wire than in making a bigger mess of the sheets.
>>8137592
LTRs do that?
I'm in an LTR LDR so we fuck lots when we get to meet.
>>8137614
That's how mine started!
Then I moved in with her. Don't ever do that.
So in this particular game, a drop rate of a particular item is 1/384. There are 3 unique items with this drop rate.
I would assume this would mean the chances of receiving any drop is 3/384 or 1/128.
This is where it gets tricky. If I wanted to calculate the odds of something dropping I get confused as to what I would do. Say, I repeated this process 100 times, meaning that I've hit this chance of 1/128 100 times, would the probability of me getting this item be 111/128 (symbolizing 100 attempts)? Or is this a gambler's fallacy and my odds are still 1/128?
Let's say I got two items back to back, so I luckily hit this 1/128 twice. Would my odds be (1/128)^2 or would it be different?
Like let's say I got a drop after 2 kills. then another drop 3 kills later, would my odds of that happening be (2/128)*(3/128)?
>>8137578
>I would assume this would mean the chances of receiving any drop is 3/384 or 1/128.
Depends if the odds are independent - i.e. does one of the items dropping impact the odds of the other two items dropping from the same kill.
>Or is this a gambler's fallacy and my odds are still 1/128?
Correct. If you want to calculate the aggregate chance over the 100 attempts that at least one drop happened, however, I believe you can take the inverse probability 127/128 of nothing happening and raise that fraction to the power of 100 attempts, resulting in approximately 45% chance of no drops over that period, which means approximately 55% chance of at least one drop over that period. Calculating the odds of more detailed outcomes would add a lot of complexity.
>Let's say I got two items back to back, so I luckily hit this 1/128 twice. Would my odds be (1/128)^2 or would it be different?
Believe so but I'm rusty.
>Like let's say I got a drop after 2 kills. then another drop 3 kills later, would my odds of that happening be (2/128)*(3/128)?
Again, I'm rusty, but I suppose using the above technique, (1 - (127/128)^3) * (1 - (127/128)^2) = 0.7%. Someone else can probably correct that.
>>8137578
>Say, I repeated this process 100 times, meaning that I've hit this chance of 1/128 100 times, would the probability of me getting this item
36,932305226788006779354614874355%
>>8137578
If you wan't to find the odds of getting at least one drop in 100 attempts you start by calculating the odds of not getting anything after 100 attempts and subtract that from one.
1 - (127/128)^100 = 54%

If evolution is self-replicating matter adapting to presented circumstances, why did we evolve sentience? It's not necessary for life on this planet.
>>8137144
Evolution is not adaption. Evolution is a population-wide change in genes. This does not necessarily mean the population has adapted to anything. And it does not mean such changes are "necessary," whatever you think that means.
>>8137144
niche adaptation
Who says sentience evolved? Perhaps it's more of an "after effect".
What do people usually do with tutors?
There is a tutor in my area I would like to hire (mostly because of how hot he is), but I don't know how these things work. Does he provide questions or something?
Please don't waste his time.
just go on a date with him then
ITT: things you learned from reading the philosophy of science
I learned that science uses experiments and observations.
Thanks, philosophy. Without you I would of never know this.
Albert Einstein is the smartest man in the world who invented E=mc^2
>>8136716
This is fucking creepy
>>8136716
Well yes you don't need to read p.o.s. to know that but if you for some reason wanted the justification for experiments and observations you would have to.
I learned that experiments need to differentiate between different hypotheses. If an experiment gives the same result no matter what hypothesis might be true then it is useless.
Hi /sci/ i just wonder if anybody know if gallium can dissolve in water because i just buy 40g and i melt it with hot water and it seem that the water is darker
>>8136671
lel, why would you use hot water when you could merely palm the container and use body heat to melt it?
And also some of the gallium seem to have formed little black grain is this gallium oxide
>>8136676
It is a lot quicker

What is it about people in STEM that makes them horrible autists and debate philosophers and act like smug cunts in general about things?
Is it something in the water? People somehow think having a PhD in a very narrow field of physics or math gives them the authority to speak on anything
>>8136440
Not all STEM majors are new atheists.
>>8136441
Of course not every person in science is terrible, but I wasn't saying that
>>8136440
>I can imagine a world without physics but not mathematics
this math guy made me cringe
First of all, I'm fully aware of how autistic I sound.
Secondly, I'm really interested in becoming more intelligent, and I'm interested in hearing your thoughts/experiences. Here is what I've been doing so far:
>self-learning calculus, although it isn't used in my degree. This is basically to do practice questions, which I feel is good exercise for the brain
>reading lots of fiction and non-fiction. I try and vary the non-fiction as much as possible, reading into economics, machine learning, history etc
>doing lots of walking outside whilst listening to fairly informative podcasts
>lots of water, good food, and sleep
>>8136409
Stop walking listening to informatives, that's innatural. Use long walks to relax, it will help
>>8136432
I meditate daily in order to relax
What's your goal?
For me, most of my progress has come from pushing myself, and straining/trying to deeply understand material. Without a concrete goal in mind it seems like a lot of your efforts would be wasted. What happens when you get to something that's much more difficult than your used to? Do you stop and give up when you stop making progress because you have no reason to push yourself?
Is this? No subjects. Degrees that are are and science. Is the end of true intellectual thought at hand anon?

Also, why every read this futurology shit? It's probably wrong--it's definitely wrong. Ten years from now, my peers who endorse all of this shit will be the ones in academia. They're gonna keep that fire alive.

Question for an astrophysist or astronomer or anyone who might know. I'm reading Sagans Cosmos book and he mentions that there were several stars born in the cloud of interstellar gas and dust that formed our sun but that they have been separated. Was it the angular momentum that allowed them to leave because they were at a far enough distance from our sun that the sound gravity was negligible . Or was this cloud light years across?
>>8136282
Why don't you read an actual astrophysics book?
1. The cloud was light years across.
2. The external gravitational pull was greater than the internal gravitational pull.
star nurseries are commonly huge. next.
