re: Jamie Foxx's loved ones reportedly preparing for worst as his health declines

ChatGPT Ruling on the OT Doctor Thunder Dome:


Both Jizzy08 and LSUtwolves present medically accurate statements, but they're discussing slightly different facets of a complex medical topic.

Jizzy08 is emphasizing the common understanding of a "clot," which is often associated with conditions like venous thromboembolism (VTE), and differentiating it from atherosclerotic plaques that can lead to stroke.

LSUtwolves is correctly describing the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and ischemic stroke, where a thrombus, which is a type of clot, can form due to a ruptured plaque.

As to which argument a medical expert might find "better," that could depend on the context of the discussion and what specifically is being debated. If the conversation is about the general use of the term "clot," they might lean towards Jizzy08's argument. If the conversation is about the pathophysiology of stroke, they might find LSUtwolves's argument more comprehensive, as it correctly details the complex sequence of events that can lead to an ischemic stroke. However, both are contributing accurate and valuable information to the discussion.



I Didnt add the last line of LSUtwoleves argument: "And why would you jump to embolic stroke from afib in a patient with known chronic HTN?" - Updated ChatGPT response below

This additional question from LSUtwolves (Poster 2) adds more context to the discussion and suggests that they might be talking about a specific patient case. The question seems to critique Jizzy08's assumption about the stroke being potentially caused by atrial fibrillation (A-fib), especially when the patient has known chronic hypertension (HTN), which is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis and ischemic stroke.

In medicine, the most common or likely causes are usually considered first, which is known as applying Occam's razor. So in a patient with known chronic HTN, the most likely cause of a stroke would indeed be related to hypertension-induced atherosclerosis rather than A-fib, unless there was additional information to suggest the patient had A-fib or was at a high risk of it.

However, it's important to note that this doesn't necessarily make one argument "better" than the other. Both Jizzy08 and LSUtwolves provided valid points and accurate medical information. It's just that LSUtwolves's argument might be more applicable to the specific case in question if the patient indeed has chronic HTN but no known A-fib.

actually pretty legit. I’m not arguing with anyone, we obviously interpret the layman use of “clot” differently.

Uncontrolled HTN can lead to A-fib however so we can’t necessarily say it couldn’t have been a cause. But LSUtwolves probably knows Jamie Foxx’s complete medical history so I’ll leave it at that. He’s clearly the superior clinician and internet badass doctor.

Good old fashioned medical debate. What topic is next?

This is why the OP and our society is doomed. One dumb arse Twitter account posted this and people ran with it. Now he’s recovering at home and fine

He’s probably been sitting at home for a couple of weeks chuckling at all of the speculation.
