I thought this was an interesting experiment and I repeated it with my own DICOM. Results are terrible. Claude has complete opposite diagnosis on my ACL, mensci and cartilage.

Claude: Primary finding: Complete ACL tear with the classic pivot-shift bone bruise signature (posterior lateral femoral condyle + anterior lateral tibial plateau edema) and large hemarthrosis. PCL, MCL, LCL, menisci, and cartilage all intact.

Radiologist: English translation of findings & conclusion: Mild joint effusion. No Baker's cyst. Post-ACL reconstruction with minor cyst formation in both the femoral and tibial bone tunnels. The ACL graft shows heterogeneous signal but no complete or recurrent rupture. PCL and collateral ligaments intact. The lateral meniscus appears abnormal, likely from prior partial meniscectomy, with significant cartilage loss (partly Grade 4) at the posterior lateral compartment, osteophyte formation, and reactive bone marrow edema. The medial meniscus shows diffuse signal change from prior repair but no recurrent tear (specifically no recurrent bucket-handle tear). Mild chondropathy with focal cartilage loss on the lateral side of the medial femoral condyle. Cyclops lesion present. No definite loose bodies.

Me and ADHD 5 years ago

I was diagnosed in my late thirties, two years ago. The diagnosis rocked my world.

On the one hand, I struggle with the diagnosis. Everything I read about ADHD felt like a horoscope. To me, it seems everyone will recognize at least parts of the symptoms. People often respond by saying "Oh yeah, I got that too". I have a firm belief everyone is responsible for their actions and, ADHD seems like an excuse. And I don't want to have excuses.

On the other hand, I have taken Ritalin -I stopped when we COVID forced us to work from home- and it helped. A cloud was lifted. Also, I don't longer try to fight and apologize for all the little sounds that make me go bananas.
