With improvement, he was able to report that he had recently noticed new-onset facial acne and cherry angiomas, fatigue, insomnia, subtle ataxia, and polydipsia, further suggesting bromism. He also shared that, after reading about the negative effects that sodium chloride, or table salt, has on one's health, he was surprised that he could only find literature related to reducing sodium from one's diet. Inspired by his history of studying nutrition in college, he decided to conduct a personal experiment to eliminate chloride from his diet. For 3 months, he had replaced sodium chloride with sodium bromide obtained from the internet after consultation with ChatGPT, in which he had read that chloride can be swapped with bromide, though likely for other purposes, such as cleaning.
Gradually, over the course of a 3-week admission, his chloride and anion gap normalized and psychotic symptoms improved. He was tapered off risperidone before discharge and remained stable off medication at a check-in 2 weeks after discharge. His bromide level ultimately was 1700 mg/L (21 mmol/L; reference range, 0.9 to 7.3 mg/L).

Wild case of ChatGPT almost killing a guy by telling him to substitute sodium bromine for table salt (sodium chloride) #medsky www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...

Labour is shameful. They told us they wanted to end the cull, but now they've changed their mind.

Share if you're furious and want the cull to end immediately!

NatureScot, supposedly an organisation that cares about nature. Then why did they license the cruel killing of 500 young gannets?!

What a joke!

Hi hi, as that wizard show now is getting an audio book series, just a reminder that there are so many people in the queer space making audio drama for free that’s amazing so please go support those, instead of the terrible wizard woman who’s literally funding to make trans people’s lives worse.

Share to spread the truth. Hunts pretend to care for their hounds, but really they are just here for a sick pastime. It’s time to end hunting.

They burn our land so the rich can shoot birds for fun. It wrecks the climate, kills wildlife - and it's legal.

ONE MP showed up to oppose it. One. This country is a playground for the elite.

Depends when in his career Scorsese was. In an interview in The Essential Doctor Who: The Master he said he used to be really picky about what roles he accepted which led to him not having any work for a while so now he pretty much just accepts anything.

We’re in a child poverty emergency, and it'll only get worse unless the Government does more. Gambling giants don't pay their fair share but taxing them more could raise billions to help children.

The government could easily implement Swift Bricks into people's homes - but they choose not to.

Why?

Because they couldn't give a damn about nature.

JK Rowling tweeting got a boycott of M&S, stretching facts to the breaking point, and making the world a worse place for absolutely everyone.

JK Rowling tweeting got a boycott of M&S, stretching facts to the breaking point, and making the world a worse place for absolutely everyone.

The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

Nigel Farage supports fox hunting, proving he is part of the elite. The majority of us want to see hunting banned for good. A vote for Reform is a vote to keep this cruel vile "sport".
