How would you feel if your doctor started using emojis to diagnose your symptoms? Jack took this one too far in the best way. Also, so many teachers are giving up teaching for other careers. What could be causing that?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a great story. The very encouraging cigarettes are
bad for kids, but so are puberty blockers, is the point.
And but so so cigarette. But activists are enthusiastic about
kids taking puberty blockers, so that would be all right. Exactly.
It's ironic, is what it is. This is a story
which pleases my heart and would make any reasonable human
(00:21):
being happy. Messages from your doctor may soon include emojis,
and that's a good thing. So got your cancer results back?
And the emoji is a guy with exes for eyes.
That would be ill advised. No, No, Indeed, emojis could
(00:42):
soon start popping up in medical communications sus there's emails
and letters from doctors. According to news research. While this
may seem a little strange or even unprofessional, study authors
and they did a study on this, say these pictograms
are renowned for their universal appeal and may be able
to replace traditional communication methods and engage more patients. Well,
and they go into this study that was done and
(01:04):
why it makes seven things. We're all so illiterate. They
can't just use the words partly yes, yes, The more
diplomatic way of saying that comes from a bloke at
University of California at Riverside. Emojis have universal appeal. They
can transcend levels of education, language, and age, thereby establishing
(01:25):
a conduit for communication. But where's the need? What's driving this?
You can communicate with emojis, but why are we going
to start when it comes to so if the cholesterol's
too high, they'll just send a cow emoji. You're overwhel again,
your ideas are not helpful. No, how's your pain? I
(01:47):
might send the flat kind of flat staring face. I
might send the oh face, or I might sign the
ah face. Well, they do that with little kids. I
don't know if they did that with your kids, but
they do now. They do the emojis for kids on
a chart, so you can pick. But we're not all
children without the ability to read. I don't understand why
we're doing this. If you're new to the show, Jack
(02:08):
is a bitter anti emojist, Well, really really sick, That
is true, but I don't think that is leaking into here.
I just don't understand why we would go from words
to emojis for medical care, said again. The edgumacated fellow
surveys are usually circulated to patients in a variety of
different stages of their care, but many surveys are wrought
(02:29):
with language that can introduce a barrier. This is where emoji,
which are friendly and universally utilized, come into play by
replacing survey language that can be hard for some patients
to understand. They argue though, that to establish a standardized
set of medically relevant emojis is critical so everybody knows
what they mean, and they point out that for certain
health conditions like stroke, brain injury, or vocal impairments, effective
(02:53):
communication can pose major obstacles, and such scenarios, emojis could
be instrumental. So I don't know, I don't know, just
send you back a thumbs down emoji? How long do
I have to live? And they just have the skull?
Oh oh man, thanks for telling me straight, dad. That
(03:19):
is horrible. You know, that's not nearly as horrible as
some other you know, facts about the current state of
medical care in America. In fact, I've been holding back
on it. It's so depressing. But well, I'll give you
a very very brief version, but a quick word from
our friends at Consumer Cellular. Have you ever signed up
for something only to find out that between hidden fees
(03:39):
being locked into the contract and awful customer service. It
just wasn't worth it. That's what happens with a lot
of people's sell service. You get the bill and find
charges you never knew about, a term you're stuck with,
and no human we'll talk to you about it. I
think that always happens with cell phone bills, where you
get the monthly bill and you think, why is it this?
If it's these things that had up in my head,
it doesn't come up to that number. That's why the
(04:00):
Consumer Cellultor such a no brainer. Not only can you
save up to half on your wireless bill, but switching
is super easy. Activation is free, flexible monthly plans, and
you'll deal with customer selluers most awarded customer service team
and get all the spport you need. That's what they're
most proud of. And yes, you get the same great coverage.
It's the largest premium carriers with five g fou free.
So pick up your cell phone dial pound two to
(04:20):
fifty and say the keyword morning show for twenty five
bucks off. You'll have the option receive one time autodial
text message from Consumer Cellular dial pound two fifty and
say the keyword Morning show to get that twenty five
dollars off from consumer cellular Good people, we got this
texting you guys realize that emojis for your medical care
is one step closer to idiocracy. I would say, Wow,
(04:44):
more harshness. I don't get it. Frownie face, mm, brownie face.
I was having a conversation with my daughter who's in
for a visit. We are having a conversation about education
and that sort of thing, and she remarked that of
five friends from college who got into education as teachers,
(05:10):
four of the five got out in the first two years.
Oh already, several of them in the first year. Wow,
they said, schools are insane. I'm not doing this for
a living. I'm gonna find another way to make a
living having spent you know, their college careers getting educated
on education. Yeah. Well, if you got into that profession
thinking I'm going to teach that kid that struggles with
(05:34):
reading how to read and all the enjoyment that will
come with that, and then you sit in a classroom
like a friend of mine, his wife is a high
school teacher, and realized that kids can just say shut
up during your lecture about whatever. Get up, Look stare
at their phones, then get up and walk out if
they want to, and there's nothing you can do about it.
That's right. You could have a little restorative justice meeting
(05:56):
at some point, but I can't suspend them, can't punish
them that. I think that would be very depressing. And
then the school principle forces you to teach the little
girls that they're probably little boys if they're uncomfortable with puberty. Right,
poop emoji, that's what I'm saying. Hey, amen to that brother,
Pretty cool matter, right, Johnny. We all know what that
(06:16):
emoji is. Although remember a few months ago there's some
article New York Times whatever it was, that generation Z
uses emoji's completely different. The thumbs down means thumbs up,
and a smile means I'm angry, and the poop emoji
means that's the sright alright. You know what young people
(06:39):
get in good line? It's our world. We own it.
I can show you the paperwork. Stop innovating, stop having
fun and toe the line. Hey, young people, enjoy your
tax rate for the bills that we ran up. Uh
you child? That was a Nelson months laugh dipped in bitterness. Anyway,
(06:59):
that's all lead up to peace in the New York Times,
the moral crisis of America's doctors. I happen to play
golf with a handful of saw bones, and boy do
they attest to this. The corporatization of healthcare has changed
the practice of medicine, causing many physicians to feel alienated
from their work. And they're talking about the concept of
moral injury, which often afflicts folks in battle who witness
(07:25):
things or have to do things that violate their core values.
They're like down to their soul values and it causes
what's called moral injury. I want to hear about this
and discuss this. Should we take a break and come
back and get into this because I find this interesting.
I have my own story about that. Yeah, I love
that idea because there ain't a man, woman, or child
(07:46):
among us who's not going to get medical care in
the next six months. You gotta love the fact that
we're driving teachers out of the teaching profession and doctors
out of the medical profession. That's just absolutely fantastic. The
few doctors that remain, right, that's just great. This is
the most depressing radio show I know. It sucks, and
everyone knows it, and everyone knows it
This is a great story. The very encouraging cigarettes are
bad for kids, but so are puberty blockers, is the point.
And but so so cigarette. But activists are enthusiastic about
kids taking puberty blockers, so that would be all right. Exactly.
