Background character sketches for "My Brother’s Child", a fic I've been writing for about a year. It is E-rated for s*x and graphic vio lence, but it's also full of Rise-style fluff, family moments, and humor. But I'm adding a T-rated version soon, and when I do, I'll drop the link.

The fic is generally about the different stages of love and loss the adult turtles go through during the apocalyptic future in the Rise Movie, and how things change over the course of the years until Time Travel Day. The fic is canon compliant, so all the losses suffered in the movie are, in fact, in the fic, or will be soon.

So i needed some background characters that can create situations for the turtles to navigate. Expendables, if you will.

This is the Mad Dogs Hockey Team (and a few others). They're Raph and Cass' scavenger squad full of ultra-strong weirdos. All their weapons and armor were made by Donnie during a fit of unbridled inspiration.

But anyway, in case you can't read my chicken scratch (from left to right) under the cut:

Denzlo:

-Stinky Boy

-Doesn't shower much to conserve water

-Fiercely Loyal to Raph and Cass

-Incredibly kind, but has a short fuse

Evans:

-Out of the Box Thinker

-Tall and Buff (gotta stay fit in the apocalypse)

-Smartass

-loves his wife, Spice

(Not on here, but recent lore drop in the fic, Evans was training to be a radiologist, so he's the group's de facto medic. He also loves stealing dried herbs/spices during scavenges to spice up he and his wife's rations)

Spice:

-Soft spoken and stealthy

-uses Donnie-Tech camo cloak

-high kraang kill-count

-loves her husband (they dance together at bad times)

-was a law student

Pietro:

-Angry at everything, was scared of mutants (still kinda is.)

-has two kids (Trish and Tai)

-unpleasant person in general

Quinn:

-Short Queen, sweetheart

-Used to be a mortician

-Goth, from Jersey

-Took care of Raphael’s body

Maya:

-A bit self-centered, brutal, sadistic

-likes cute things

-likes Mikey

-uh oh

The honorable Rabbi Venkman (Not a member of the Hockey Team, but one of Mikey’s 'Light-Steppers', the mystic warrior squad he teaches):

-handles all religious crises in the rebellion base

-Thinks the world of Mikey, learned mystic arts from him

-very tall and soft spoken

-very moral and fair, if a lil sassy

Delia Vardanyan (civilian):

-In charge of the war's orphans, takes care of all children on base when their parents are busy, in charge of their general education.

-HATES Donnie (likes his brothers, though?)

- Armenian immigrant. survivor of the original kraang attack. Very loud/outspoken. They found her eating MREs in a turned over battleship in the harbor.

-Trusts. NO. One. (Sleeps a lot)

Yuri:

-Was a tourist/exchange student in NYU from Sweden

-Struggles with English and has a very heavy accent

-Maya is his bestie by default bc she speaks fluent Swedish and was the only one who could understand him when the world flipped upside down. His English has gotten better over the years, but he still needs her.

-Speedy in battles. Will share his rations. Bit of an appreciator of the finer things in life, like wine.

-Maya and Yuri have both slept with Mikey. Mikey is quite a Casanova in the resistance due to his mystic mystique. (That... might change once he starts aging more rapidly, however...)

There's another page of characters, but it contains spoilers, so im gonna have to correct that before i show it.

List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to simblrs whose sims you adore 💜

hi friend!! ❤️🤍 thank you so much for sending me this! 💐

i'll do this for soobin now that she's an official part of the canon story (and also because i think she's super adorable sdjfkldsjf) ✨

if you ask her what she does for work, her answer is almost always, "i responsibly irradiate people!" whichhhhhh is not incorrect - she's a nuclear radiologist ☢️ her job really is to administer radioactive medications and run the appropriate imaging scans afterwards. it's the perfect medical work for her, too, because she does not like blood and guts 😶 science and helping people? yes! innards? no!

how about a whole bunch of stats? her birthday is june 16, 1991, so she's a gemini sun ♊, leo moon ♌, and sagittarius rising ♐; her mbti type is esfj; and she's 5'11", so a tall queen 👑

while she drinks coffee and tea, she prefers hot chocolate, especially because she's not reallyyyyyy supposed to consume caffeine for health reasons. so, every day, she makes herself a big cup of hot chocolate in a thermos, and she mixes up the flavors so often that she's the hot chocolate version of a watertok girlie. (p.s. her favorite alternate flavor is pumpkin spice)

she's quite sporty! she played volleyball growing up and was even on a club team in college 🏐 for the last few years, though, she's been into running marathons and 5ks, and she goes for a run every morning, usually just around her neighborhood, or she will go to a park sometimes to mix up the scenery. she also likes golf but that's more of a special occasion thing!

fun fact: her username on every social media website is @//zoinks_soobs because why not reference scooby doo? 💜

Why I was going to retire/ why I didn't retire

I really was going to retire. It wasn't one of those "Oh, maybe if I say I'm retiring, people will be extra nice to me and more people will show up to my 'final' show" kind of things. I really did plan this show to be my last burlesque show. It was on the same stage where I did my first show, it was my burlesque daughter's first show, it was all about cheese, and it was something I made. I put it all together and made it good so I could go out on a high note. But then, last night changed everything for me.

Why I Was Going to Retire

I was 24 when I realized I was trans, and that scared me, so I decided to shove all those feelings in a locked box in my head, and finally figure out how to be a girl, dammit. I had made friends with burlesque people and done a little work with them before, and I was being given another opportunity to get onstage and take on this super femme performance. I learned to be a girl, but it was in the context of burlesque, and it was last year that I realized it never stopped being a performance for me. I would straight up dissociate while doing some of these performances, drifting outside my body while my body relied on muscle memory. Realizing that other people were girls off and onstage, and I was just pretending to be a girl, an even then, half of my performances were very genderqueer, and the other half were more drag queen than woman. Finally getting to the point where I stopped denying being trans, my relationship with femininity and my performance of it changed. No longer practicing being a woman in my daily life, I lost touch with how to do it onstage. Going through transition, which means second puberty at 36, my body is changing, and it feels extra vulnerable going through that with an audience.

I am also increasingly disabled. In the week leading up to the show, I saw three different doctors (4 if you count the radiologist NP), had 15 blood draws, 30 x-rays, internal hemorrhaging for some unknown reason, and a hip that threatened to stop working. When I was starting out 10+ years ago, younger and stronger, working out was for increasing my strength and flexibility. Now, I spend twice as much time training my body just to be able to touch my toes. I have asthma that makes me wheeze just from walking up stairs sometimes. I need mobility aids to get around during flare ups. There were entire categories of food I couldn't eat for a week going into this show. Burlesque is so physical. When I was young, I could dance every night for three hours straight while living on a bus and eating gas station food and drinking so much whiskey. I look back on those days in absolute awe. I can't do most of that anymore. I did a show in Chicago a month ago and my back locked up in the middle of my act and I just kinda froze, wishing I could just abandon things in the middle of the song and go lay down. Forever.

And folks, I've also got baggage with burlesque. I always tried not to let the audience know about backstage drama, but there was a lot of it. Super Happy Funtime was toxic in a lot of ways, and run like an actual cult. The leader of the show was very charismatic onstage, and quite horrible offstage. I met some of my best lifelong friends in this show, but we're all still recovering from the experiences years later. Even outside of that troupe, I encountered a lot of other shitty people who were often in positions of power in the community, producers and primadonnas. People have strong feuds with each other. Known abusers get booking because they're popular with audiences, and the performers just have to rely on whisper networks to keep each other safe. "Don't be alone with that guy in the dressing room. He's a known creep." Why is this guy here at all??? And most shows never paid near enough to put up with all of this.

So basically, baggage and body issues put me through the ringer, and I thought it might be time to move onto other things. I still wanted to perform, but it would have to be something else. This is what I thought, leading up to last night's show.

Why I didn't retire

Last night's show went so well, that I truly am still coming to terms with the fact that it actually happened and I'm still processing it all, but I know for a fact that I'm going to continue to do this.

First of all, everything just went right. Okay, one thing went wrong, and that was the curtain getting stuck shut, but aside from technical difficulties, everything was perfect. I haven't seen the official numbers yet, but I'm pretty sure we sold more than twice the tickets we needed to break even. This is a big theatre, so if only a few people showed up, the crowd would seem even smaller, but at least 2/3 of the seats were full and we sold out of cheese before the show started. People drove for hours to come see this show. They were extremely generous with their applause and their tips. They laughed at my awful cheese puns. They participated in the cheese eating contest and the winner went home with a full wheel of real cheese and the runner-up went home with a full wheel of fake cheese.

The backstage vibe was warm and supportive and sweet. Everyone got along. They found out if was my burlesque daughter's first ever show and they all made sure she was feeling taken care of and welcome, helping with makeup and shaking off the jitters. Everyone had their props organized, and our kitten was seriously the hardest working kitten in the biz, having to clear up so so so much cheese off that historical stage floor. The theatre was so easy to work with, and they told me that they loved that the whole place smelled like cheese.

So, I was feeling like a good producer for sure. I could put a show together, fill the seats, and pay people well and also treat them well. I treated everyone how I always wanted to be treated. Producing a good show on the same stage where I got my start, with some performers who had also worked with my old troupe, was especially rewarding, knowing I could make it happen without having to treat people like garbage who were lucky to be onstage and who certainly didn't deserve money for it. I was feeling like a good host, entertaining the crowd between sets while never forgetting that I'm up there to warm up the crowd for the performers, the talent who I booked who everyone came out to see. I connected, I made the audience laugh and the performers felt good. Now, could I still perform?

Y'all, so much of the success of this act came from two things: glasses and flat shoes. My eyesight is terrible, and not being able to see makes me panic. Not a great thing for a performance. I also cannot point my toes without setting off a chain reaction in my body that locks my muscles up, so high heels are just not a thing I can do anymore. I kept my glasses on and I performed my act in sneakers, because I planned an act where sneakers made sense. It turns out that acknowledging your disabilities and working within the boundaries of what you can do makes a huge difference. WHO WOULDA THOUGHT? Being steady on my feet and not worrying about falling offstage or being unable to find a prop freed up so much more of my brain for remembering moves and connecting with the audience.

I was also in my body for this in a way I very often wasn't before. While HRT can bring about awkward puberty gangly pimply sweaty teenage feelings, it also has made my brain line up with my body more than it ever has. Being able to speak in a lower voice, my boobs shrinking down to half the size they were pre-T, and not caring about being hairy felt so good. I performed a character that didn't need to be a girl. (The whole original act was inspired by Richard Simmons.) I felt like I was off the hook for being obligated to perform femininity. Which doesn't mean there wasn't plenty of femininity in it, but I also didn't spend any time worrying about getting rid of the masculine parts of myself while doing it, which was another thing that distracted me in a lot of past performances. I could put more of my authentic self onstage than I ever have before, and rather than feeling vulnerable about it, it made me feel powerful. The audience wasn't cheering for my mask, but for me this time. Whoa did that feel different, and good.

By realizing that I haven't lost my strength as a performer, that I just have different strengths now, I can work with what I do have going on, rather than the past framework I always worked in before. In some ways, it is like I retired, but more in a way that a caterpillar retires from being a caterpillar when it becomes a butterfly. I feel free in a way I haven't in awhile, to experiment in new ways and create new things.

So yeah, I'm gonna keep doing this. I'm going to keep creating what I want to see in the world. I'm going to do just one or two really big shows a year rather than worrying about lots of little ones, because I can spend more time making sure they're exactly what they should be, a special occasion, a spectacle, a reason for an audience to put on pants and spend money when they could watch porn at home for free, a reason for a performer to spend time rehearsing and money putting together a costume. I'm going to create acts that let me be myself, in the body I have. I'm going to nurture a creative scene and try to be the ideals that I hold.

I hope to catch y'all in the audience sometime, or backstage. My heart is so full, and I am so warm.

Book/Movie Diary: What I watched/read 12/2023

The Deer King: An anime that is something you would watch if you are a fan of Princess Mononoke largely for the style, and if you liked The Phantom Menace and the Fellowship of the Rings for the lore and vibes. Unfortunately, I have been reading up on all the Drakkon/Coinless Jason by @ajgrey9647 and that means I spent the whole movie expecting the stoic protagonist and pretty Doctor to beat the shit out of each other or devolve into sloppy makeout sessions. 4/5

The Man Who Came Down the Attic Stairs, by Celine Loup: A beautiful not-a-memoir in graphic novel format that the artist/author wrote as a what-if scenario covering the effects of pregnancy in the pre-War 1900s; complete with post-partum depression. It's smooth as silk with the art in stunning black and white. 4/5

Manga Classics' King Lear, by Richard Appignanesi: An interesting and visually lovely concept, resetting Shakespeare's story into a Native American vs Colonial landscape. I really wanted to like it, but I felt like it really missed the mark? 2.5/5

Komi Can't Communicate vol. 1, by Oda Tomohito: I finally get to read the first gn in the series and was not disappointed in finding that, yes, it was Tadano who made the first move, and Komi is ADORABLE. 4/5

Commute, by Erin Williams: An examination of being a woman who has experienced many assaults and the results thereof through alcoholism, poor dating choices, dissociation, and finally, motherhood. excerpts I had to write down include: -"What's your part in this abuse?" "That I kept getting drunk?" "You kept going to the gas station for oranges. They don't sell oranges at the gas station. If you want oranges, you go the grocery store. I don't know QUITE how to feel about the art style as a GN. 4/5

Stitches: A Graphic Memoir, by David Small: Sort of a twilight examination on generational trauma and mental illness through the youngest son of a closet lesbian with multiple health issues and a radiologist in a time when it was believed that x-rays could also cure rather than just provide an image of internal problems. The spooky art style made me very uncomfortable, but I quite liked it. 5/5

Literary Witches, by Taisia Kitaiskaia: A collection of witchy femme writers in a poetic presentation, done much like spellwork used through epithets. 5/5

Searching for Bobby Fischer: Just as good, and all the more better, than I thought it would be. It had taken me DECADES to finally see this on DVD after seeing part of it ONCE on VHS when I was tiny and couldn't really remember it. It's the kind of family movie that really isn't made anymore. It's quiet, it's contemplative, it's HONEST. I LOVED IT. 6/5

Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space; by Amanda Leduc: Actually uses both memoir and popular culture as fairly good references to the reality of perfectionism and "the other." It used Disney, changelings, "The Bloody Chamber" and her own medical history. Must take note of this for later because it is very good. 5/5

Spit Three Times, by Davide Raviati: Yet another graphic memoir, this one laying out the growth of a teen/teens in Italy around the 1980s(?), with the author being of Romani descent. It had a lot of stuff I couldn't differentiate between euphemism and actual truth, but I'm pretty sure the extremely mentally ill girl insisting on sexual activity and getting beaten almost to death until she gave birth to a baby that a drunken teenage boy had to deliver on the fly was pretty real. I really did not understand a lot of what happened, but there was one scene that felt very honest apart from the incredibly violent one: "The only person I know who could beat off while doing the backstroke." >> THIS. This was so weird, and yet something teen boys just DO. 3-4/5

Snow White: A Graphic Novel, by Matt Phelan: A retelling of the old tale with a twist. The setting in 1920s New York, the wicked queen is an extremely popular flapper on Broadway, the dead king as a rich mogul that survived the Black Thursday crash, Snow is a boarding school girl back to see the will. We see butchers, detectives, private eyes, and the seven are all street orphans that DO chase the witch down to death. The Macy's Window was an especially nice touch. 4/5

Komi Can't Communicate vol. 2, by Oda Tomohito: -Yamai IS a total psycho at first blush, omg. Poor Tadano, he did not deserve this crap. -The Ramen Chef that shares Komi's disorder must get on GREAT with Agari. -Wow. I was not expecting Tadano to be THAT embarrassing in middle school. -Agari being both a dog-girl and an awesome, honest food critic was a nice touch. -Najimi is VERY cheap. -The dress show was not something I thought I'd see, but I'm not at all surprised that Tadano was always going to be the best choice. 5/5

Komi Can't Communicate vol. 3, by Oda Tomohito: -Chiarai, Sonoda, and Shinobino might be incredibly awkward and can't NOT end up being queer somewhere down the line, but at least they're honest with their judgement of the girls (plus Najimi) in bathing suits. -Both Komi & Tadano look awesome in yukatas. -Komi alone on the playground was so wholesome I wanna scream. -No surprise that Komi is great with babies, but it was still cute to see. -Komi continues to wear the dress Tadano picked out EVERYWHERE. 5/5

WIP What The Hell...

I've several pieces for the Poly!Verse that are basically just me exploring various background things and are probably going to wind up on the scrap heap as a result. No plot. No climax. No resolution. No interest, really. But there's a scene or two I actually like, so I might stick them here for posterity.

This is one of them. If I ever do decide to do something with it, it's going to need a lot more research, but for now...eh, why not? Have a thing.

BTW, if anyone looks over my collected works and reaches the conclusion I've no real use for tabloids...that is accurate. If it didn't run in the World Weekly News, I was not interested. Give me Bat Boy!

-

“But it turns out he doesn’t have three boyfriends, he only has one. It’s his boyfriend who has three boyfriends,” Michelle was griping to David when Sam walked into the break room.

“That is the wrong conversation to walk into the middle of,” Sam noted, crossing the room to the coffee machine. There were days he regretted taking a job in A&E rather than getting himself a nice private practice in a surgery someplace. Even if you weren’t directly dealing with the screaming child who’d broken their foot, the sound carried. Hopefully a cup of coffee and a bit of food would be enough to cure the headache.

David laughed. “Michelle was just complaining that her tabloid had a misleading headline, if you can imagine such a thing.”

“You mean tabloids aren’t the pinnacle of honest journalism?” Sam asked, reaching into the cupboard for a clean mug. He shoved it in place, popped one of the capsules into the machine, and hit the button. “You’ve destroyed my faith in the system right there.”

“Hah hah you two,” the radiologist rolled her eyes. “I’m just saying they could have come up with a better headline, that’s all. ‘Guy Dexter Announces Poly Relationship’ has just as much shock value as ‘Guy Dexter Reveals He Has Three Boyfriends’.”

Sam had to admit, she had a point, not that he particularly cared. He didn’t have much use for the tabloids, or for Guy Dexter, although he’d heard the man was going to be in the latest Agatha Christie adaption. He liked mysteries. “How many bets the next headline is ‘Guy Dexter Contracts Nasty, Possibly Terminal S.T.I.’?”

David gave him an unimpressed look. “Way to be progressive, Dr. Barrow.”

“You were the one just criticizing the tabloid’s accuracy, Dr. Fletcher,” Sam countered.

“Eh, okay, you got me there.”

“I admit, I never understood why they’re so fond of announcing people are dying and only have two months to live. Do they think readers won’t notice when, two months later, the person is still alive and kicking?” Michelle flipped through her magazine, frowning a little. “I mean, the Queen and Camilla both started dying of cancer in what? 2002?”

“Pretty sure that started in the ‘90s,” David snorted. He then leaned in and looked over Michelle’s shoulder at the page in front of her. He frowned. “Hey, Sam? What was your little brother’s name again?”

“Michael, why?”

“Just curious,” the nurse asked. “Mr. Dexter’s fellow has the same last name as you. You know, the one with three boyfriends.”

Sam rolled his eyes and, waiting just long enough for be sure there were no drips left, lifted the coffee cup to his lips. “Not bloody likely. Mike would probably jump off a bridge if he thought three guys were even interested in him.” He couldn’t imagine Mike even knowing about poly relationships, honestly. The younger man was a chip off of their father’s close minded block. “And Barrow is a common enough last name.”

“This guy sort of looks like you, though,” Michelle admitted, frowning at the page. “Maybe a cousin or something? I don’t know, do you have any relations at all named Thomas?”

Sam about spit his coffee across the room, to the surprise and alarm of the other two. “Thomas?” he sputtered. He then slammed the cup down on the counter and crossed the room in three long strides, hand held out for the magazine. “Let me see that.”

Michelle mutely handed over the tabloid, her expression shell shocked.

Without quite meaning to, Sam snatched it out of her hand and stared at the picture they’d been looking at. It was like looking into a mirror, only his reflection styled his hair differently and had his mother’s pale, blue grey eyes instead of the brown the rest of the family had inherited. It felt like he’d stepped into an episode of Dr. Who or something…not that he actually watched that, but it seemed like half the rest of the staff did.

The other two exchanged looked, then David cleared his throat. “I, ah, take it he is a cousin?”

Sam shook his head. “He’s my brother. The older one.” He gave a shaky little laugh. “I haven’t seen or heard from him since he left home. It was on his sixteenth birthday. We didn’t even bother getting presents or having cake, he just… I woke up and he was walking down the road to the bus.” He closed the tabloid and looked at the cover. The picture there just had Guy Dexter’s face, with three silhouettes in boxes around it, each with a question mark over it’s face. Michelle was right, it was a horrible presentation for that story. “Now this…”

“Damn,” David eyed him, clearly uncertain how to react. “That’s…well, that’s one way to find out he’s alright, I suppose?”

“Yeah.” Sam opened to the photo with Thomas again. Did Margaret and Mike know? Did his parents? If not, they were bound to find out eventually, with news this big. “Well, that’ll finish Dad off.”

“A RAUCOUS JUBILEE"

By Jesse Reyes

The June 2022 issue of TIME magazine published this very interesting (to me, at least) photograph (image, as we radiologists prefer to call it) of four (4) generations of the British royal family together in one shot.

 The caption read "A Rauco"us Jubilee" and shows "Flour generations of British royals gathered on the balcony at Buckingham Palace in London on Aug. 2 (2022) as part of Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum jubilee celebrating 70 years on the throne-but it was the Queen's great-grandson Prince Louis who stole the show with his const4ernated response to the booming noise of a flyby. Pictured from left: Prince Charles (now King Charles, addendum mine), the Queen, Prince Louis, Katie Middleton, Princess Charlotte, Prince George, and Prince William."

I would like to add a comment that Queen Elizabeth became an heiress to the throne when her uncle, King Edward VIII abdicated the throne to marry a commoner, an American woman, twice-divorced Wallis Simpson, making Elizabeth's father, King Edward's younger brother, king of Great Britain.  What a turn of events..

Revolutionizing healthcare: Integration of AI and Data Science in healthcare.

Emerging technology, like AI fused with the data, is set to make healthcare more accurate, accessible, and sustainable. Imagine a world in which machines not only help but also anticipate the demands of healthcare workers, where massive amounts of medical data are converted into meaningful insights, and patient outcomes are optimized with pinpoint accuracy. AI tools have a reputation for aiding and enhancing human labor rather than replacing physicians and other healthcare professionals. AI is ready to assist healthcare staff with various duties, from administrative workflow to clinical documentation and patient outreach, as well as specialized help in image analysis, medical device automation, and patient monitoring.

Samadrita Ghosh, a Computer Science Engineer from Techno India University (August 2015-July 2019) consistently kept herself updated on the ever-increasing demands of modern healthcare and high expectations of patients, resulting in the optimization of the applications and making it “Intelligent”. She completed her postgraduation from Queen Mary University of London and dives deeper into the spectrum of a new age of healthcare which will play a vital role in assisting individuals to stay healthy through continuous monitoring and coaching, resulting in earlier diagnosis, targeted treatments, dosage error reduction, and more efficient follow-ups.

The use of AI is gaining momentum and Ghosh breaks down how.

Improved and Disease Prediction

Prediction Systems use a Machine Learning model that primarily works on the symptoms given by the user. This is done by using algorithms and comparison of datasets, thus we must have the required and sufficient data to compare the symptoms shown by the patients.

Samadrita explains that AI can be trained to detect mammograms or X-rays that might be missed by human radiologists or during a shortage of hospital staff. Interrogating patients' records with a highly classified AI Tool will diagnose rare diseases much faster, avoiding unnecessary investigations and thus benefiting thousands of patients. By leveraging technology in healthcare, we can identify the ‘at-risk’ patients who require immediate attention, cater to more number of patients in a very short period to identify abnormalities, detect fractures, and tumors.  The more data accessible, the more accurate the AI system will become. The system then analyses this information to detect patterns or trends that may suggest a specific disease or condition. One of the primary benefits of utilizing AI for diagnostics is its capacity to continually learn and increase accuracy over time.

Personalised Medication and Treatment Plans

In the age of globalization, people are mostly on the move. Samadrita herself loves to travel often. Which makes it a challenge for individuals like her to visit a doctor whenever they are feeling sick. Thus, AI can develop a personalized

treatment plan by analyzing medical history, genetic data, and lifestyle factors. This advent of Machine Learning in precision medicine is a revolution for healthcare that enables more tailored medicines with perhaps fewer adverse effects. AI-powered tools also recommend preventive methods to individuals based on specific risk factors.

However, Samadrita explains the downside of it. Even though some patients have experienced positive outcomes of AI for cancer treatment and therapy, many users are scared of leveraging the new technology. 27% of adults in the UK worry about too much dependency on AI for medicine allocation. 60% of Americans are not comfortable with their provider relying on AI powered technology. But on the brighter side, 75.7% of radiologists believed that algorithmic outcomes based on AI were trustworthy.

Enhanced Clinical Decision Support

As per Samadrita’s research, AI-based healthcare solutions have seen some biggest investments recently. The worldwide healthcare AI industry is anticipated to reach $188 billion by 2030, with a 37% CAGR from 2022 to 2030. Around one-fifth of healthcare organizations have already implemented AI models for their healthcare solutions.

The introduction of AI in healthcare saved around 20% of physicians' time on administrative activities. About 10% of medical practitioners use AI-powered technologies such as Med-PaLM2 or ChatGPT to give effective solutions.

Moderna used AI to improve their COVID-19 vaccine. The market for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare is expected to reach $20.65 billion in 2023.

According to the NCBI study, AI-based algorithms correctly identified 68% of COVID-19-positive cases in a sample of 25 patients previously labeled as negative by healthcare personnel.

Ghosh emphasizes how Artificial Intelligence may serve as a virtual assistant for physicians and nurses, this may involve recommending pertinent medical material, medication interactions, and therapy choices based on the patient's situation. This frees up significant time for medical personnel to devote to patient engagement and difficult decision-making.

Drug Discovery and Development

The development of protein-based drugs has reached a concerning stumbling block. Fewer than 10% of such medication ideas are successful in clinical trials. Failure at this late stage of development costs between $30 million and $310 million for each clinical trial, possibly costing billions of dollars per medicine and wasting years of research as patients wait for therapy.

Samadrita is highly optimistic about the speed-up and boom in drug discovery caused by the increased use of AI because Artificial Intelligence combined with data may be used to speed up drug development by analyzing large bio-databases of chemical structures and biological facts. This might lead to the discovery of novel therapeutic targets and the creation of more effective treatments – but only if we give it the right data.

The cost of discovering new medications will reduce significantly by 70% with increased use of Artificial intelligence and Data Science. The majority of the money AI produces in healthcare comes from the United States. It had a 58% market share in 2022, with Asia-Pacific coming in second at 40.9%. However, AI in healthcare statistics shows that 90% of nursing tasks will still be performed by humans in 2030.

Skin cancer screening is one area where the public believes AI might be useful, with 55% of respondents believing it would be even more accurate than traditional screening.

Administrative Efficiency and Cost Reduction

Being a software engineer for a while Samadrita is not an admirer of repetitive tasks that can be automated creating bandwidth for humans to concentrate on more complex and meaningful duties.

Artificial intelligence can easily automate repetitive processes like appointment scheduling, claims processing, and data input. This frees up staff time to focus on more complicated duties, resulting in increased operational efficiency. Additionally, AI-powered solutions can assist in identifying and preventing fraudulent medical claims, resulting in cost savings for healthcare providers.

Samadrita explains that advanced Chatbots or AI-powered AI nursing assistants are expected to save $20 billion per year by reducing the 20% of time nurses spend on patient maintenance tasks. Sensely's "Molly" chatbot demonstrates this by asking patients questions, assessing their symptoms, and sending them to the appropriate resource. These days, more and more individuals are employing AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, to obtain therapy without requiring human interaction. Now that AI therapy is so popular, 40% of Americans would choose to utilise it instead of seeing a human therapist in person.

Future of AI in Healthcare.

Even though healthcare took up Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning a bit later than other industries like manufacturing and trade, Ghosh cannot emphasize more on bright future of Artificial Intelligence in healthcare. However, she shows concern over ethical considerations around data privacy, bias in algorithms and the need for human oversight should not be ignored.

It is a piece of great news for cancer patients because AI algorithms can predict cancer patients' survival with an accuracy of 80%. Researchers at the University of British Columbia developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can recognize patient traits from oncologists' notes and predict cancer survival with 80% accuracy.

AI has the highest accuracy for detecting early indicators of dementia. CognoSpeak, an artificial intelligence tool, can detect Alzheimer's disease 90% of the time by analysing patient language and speech patterns, equivalent to traditional approaches.

Oncology and neurology will be the dominant fields in AI-powered precision medicine. In 2022, oncology (cancer diagnostics) accounted for more than 31% of the revenue in the precision medicine market. Over the next 10 years, neurological disorders such as dementia and epilepsy are predicted to increase and dominate the market.

Artificial Intelligence-powered Robot surgery might cut patients' hospital stays by more than 20%. According to Samadrita’s studies, an artificial intelligence robot reduced problems in orthopedic surgery by five times more than doctors working alone. Furthermore, this might result in a 21% reduction in patients' hospital stays following surgery. Subsequent savings are expected to total $40 billion each year.

Thus, it is very important to innovate in Healthcare Landscape with AI to stay ahead in the race.

I don't know when it even happened but by the end of it Marie was my favorite breaking bad character?this is the single most alienating experience of my life.please validat em

Marie is the main character of breaking bad. Shes always wearing purple bc she is a queen. As much as i love jesse…. Every scene without marie im just like WHERES MARIE?

The virgin jane-

Sassy quips, ugly neckbeards want to marry you, gets jesse on heroin, dies after like 2 episodes, is so clearly a male fantasy its distracting from breaking bads otherwise phenomenal writing lol

The alpha skyler-

Married to walter white (who famously won a rap battle against that dude from the zombie show), fucked ted beneke, SHUT UPPPPP scene, cuts walters bitch ass when he acts crazy, stands her ground. Her character is an insanely accurate test for the quality of a man- does he hate skyler white, a normal woman who doesnt want her husband to be a druglord? Thats a DANGEROUS man at worst and a man child at best

The SIGMA marie:

Married to hank. Yes hank is a cop but tv isnt real life. And hank is an alpha male. Shoplifts. Wears purple like royalty. Said its walts choice to get treatment and supported his autonomy. Successful radiologist or whatever. Loving aunt to two beautiful children. Amazing sister to skyler.
