Showcasing some of my work done on Procreate
The Snake, The Loss, and The Medical Error: The_Serpent_Error
A glimpse into the BasBaz darkness.
This time-lapse captures
'The_Serpent_Error'. It depicts my wife in chalk, a serpent emerging from her right breast—amputated for a tumor that wasn't there. A hospital error. Drawn in early 2025 during the fear of diagnosis, it embodies a dazed mental state. The result is a double feeling: relief for no cancer, rage for the unnecessary loss. Posted on 8 March, to remind that women need respect daily, NOT once a year. Medical equality is lacking; if men had breasts, exams wouldn't be torture. The road is long

❓️️️Question:
I use my #iPadPro only for Procreate. I'd like to use it for more but can't stand #iPadOS. Any tips to run #Linux via VM on M4 while keeping iOS for my❤️ Procreate? -
Was at a doctor's office yesterday, and was asked to sign - note they never say "read and sign" - an agreement for the use of "Heidi" software, which was described as "note-taking software" along with the usual marketing fluff.
Of course, it's actually just "AI"-powered transcription software, presumably trained on a bit more medical text / patient files than a general-purpose model.
Independent investigations have shown these medical transcription "agents" result in terrible errors in patient files - some obvious, some not - which could result in brutal outcomes for patients, up to and including death by mistreatment / failure to treat.
So I circled the part that inconspicuously noted you can decline, and crossed out the part listing things you're agreeing to, and wrote "DECLINED" below that. Receptionist didn't blink an eye - so I'm not sure if they actually know handle people declining this (I doubt it). Probably she just checked the box on my file saying I'd signed - and presumably accepted - it.

A clinic in Prague mistakenly performed an abortion on the wrong patient due to a mix-up. The incident occurred due to a language barrier and both patients being foreigners. The Czech Ministry of Health called it an "unforgivable human error" and apologized, promising compensation. The doctors involved have been removed from practice and may face personal accusations after investigation. #MedicalError #PatientSafety

CW: Medical Error Is Not the Third Leading Cause of Death
Medical Error Is Not the Third Leading Cause of Death: An alarming statistic shared by countless people is based on a highly problematic bit of data extrapolation & has been used to paint all of medicine as untrustworthy

A very well told narrative of the Therac 25 radiation overdose incidents. Very important to understand for all medical professionals - technology can kill if due diligence is not performed
