The hypothetical version of me that is your patient has been mostly reassured by that response. I just don’t want to be paying for any potential eavesdroppers’ therapy bills on top of my own. Realistically, I know that nobody cares what’s going on in the exam room with me unless they’re involved. Think most of the lingering concerns would be addressed by whatever I can hear (and for that matter, what I can’t) being picked up by the system and sent to speakers as well.

Also, once you get the frequency range thing hammered out, your patients can show you where it hz. Bad joke aside, this has me wondering whether there’s anything that would be improved by applying some basic filters so you could focus on one range of frequencies, maybe even apply a pitch shift to move those sounds into a range your hearing aids can handle better.

Here’s why I’ll never be allowed to make medical devices: my next idea would be to hide autotune and a few guitar/bass pedal effect filters in the code so you could live out some rock and roll fantasies on the job. Air guitar takes on a whole new meaning when you’re playing along with respiratory noises.

Thanks for the detailed reply, hope you find nursing to be the right combination of engaging, challenging and rewarding to enjoy the career.

Not suggesting that what I’m about to describe is a common reaction but I’d be a little uncomfortable with the privacy implications of the setup. Is there a light to show it’s on? How about a physical switch to completely interrupt the mic’s connection when it should be off? Don’t need a bored nerd down the hall with a Flipper tuning in for some free entertainment in the form of my colonoscopy results.

Sad reality is that this is probably the coolest likely outcome. Coin toss between regular graffiti and some nazi shit the rest of the time.

These predatory industry contracts are out of control.

The correct prescription lenses.

absolute shit thing

Well, yeah, I think that’s been established.

If you feel like you’re starting to come out of it, bring us back there with you.

That’s why it’d be startling to find a startling.

I propose “startling” if the mutation is enough to qualify as a new species. Sort of like the opposite of an endling and you get a fitting double meaning as a fun bonus.

Lawyer.

The smart people have done their nerdy number-wizardry and said it’s not going to work but if your huge slingshot was tall enough to reach into space, you could just put the spaceship on top and call it a day. How to get it there is an exercise for the reader.

I don’t see that lens option.

Nothing.

The term is advertisement (or “ad”).

You got the extra minimal version at no additional cost, how lucky.

I’ll make a nice meal and reflect on what’s driving us further from the country we’re supposed to be. Thinking of it more like memorial day until there’s something to celebrate again.

A tank full of sharks and gloves that dispense a sticky concentrated chum mixture with each hit. Get a couple good body blows in, knock them into the water, let nature (+/-) take its course.

All 10 of course. Rather keep it discreet though, don’t want anybody asking awkward questions about why I carry around bags of fingers, whose fingers they are, that sort of thing.

Probably start eating brains. Too close to a major population center to think I’d get out and away without being bitten at least once or twice.
