  • Doctor here, please do not fear me.
    Isolated swelling of one leg is a sign of deep vein thrombosis which can lead to pulmonary embolism which are kinda serious. You should have that checked out right now. Heart failure as another commentor said is unlikely since it’s only single sided. Lasix is also not the treatement of choice for this since single sided fluid buildup is very rare.

    Ofc. It could be totally benign, but from across the screen without further information this is hard to judge and it could be deadly so better be safe than sorry.





  • I am against AI and LLMs but the reason is quite simple, a lot of modern writing is offical bullshit to get stuff approved. Research grants, medical therapy approval, offical work mail that has to sound professional, job applications (insofar that noone cares what you write, they want a standard template and pick a candidate along qualifications anyways.). All these texts cost a lot of time and it makes no difference if a human or some copy machine writes it. And tbh. were it not for all the disadvantages of modern LLMs i would use it for the exact same reason, because sitting at a grant application for two hours while others do it in 5min is fucking useless and exhausting.
