Blood Transfers??
I thought it was called blood teleportation not a transfer

It is possible to use a Retrival
Augmented Generation where LLM is using uploaded documents, guidelines etc for the analysis. It is also possible to fine tune LLM if accessing through API e.g. control randomness, access different models, discourage or dis/encourage repetition etc

AI / LLMs are tools. Know (roughly) how they work, and use them for their strengths. Avoid their weaknesses (like eating soup with a fork). Good for somethings (coding), less so for other tasks (generating diagrams). Most importantly, always maintain human oversight and be wary of limitations.

Aside from the very exciting physics of radiation, we also attempted to cover critical aspects of occupational exposure for anaesthetists.

Huge respect to @anzca.bsky.social for leaving Twitter behind. Time for other health related organisations to do the same.
