Today we’re announcing otto-SR, an AI workflow to perform systematic reviews 3000x faster
By using gpt-4.1 and o3-mini, ottoSR beats humans at all tasks
In two days, we conducted 12 work-years of Cochrane research–finding 2x more relevant papers and altering key conclusions 🧵
This is my dear friend, Nakita.
Nakita and I were medical school classmates and both interns in New York City. Nakita tragically took her own life on May 26.
She is such a beautiful soul. She was so fun to be around. She was intelligent, charismatic, and confident. (1/x)
The staff at 129 Peter St asked me to spread this list of drop-in centres. They have specific days and hours so require a bit of reading but they are more likely to have capacity. Hopefully they can be useful to someone.
Like many ED providers in Toronto, I often send ppl experiencing homelessness to the shelter referral centre at 129 Peter St. I figured they would get a place to rest, food, and a shower while waiting for a shelter bed. Today I visited the centre and realized I was wrong.

Early in the pandemic, guidance for #OAT changed around the world, in part supporting more flexible access to take-home doses for people treated with #methadone & #buprenorphine. This change has long been requested by people with OUD. We sought to evaluate this change. A 🧵

At the beginning of c-19, @UHN implemented a hospital wide intubation team, including the ED. We surveyed 178 physicians, nurses, and anesthesia ass’t: https://t.co/AT4DTzCIvb
Tldr: opportunities to improve incl. joint sims, formalized handover, and shared decision making
To health care workers and patients who have extensive experience in the health care system, this joke is problematic. It directs ridicule at the patient. You come to the conclusion that the patient is lying and that the doctor THINKS the patient is lying. This is not good.
