How should we feel about the incoming deluge of AI-generated text in our electronic health records?

(if you don’t want to read, the answer is, “not good”).

Beautifully said, and could not agree more.

Pleased to share my article: “Taking Back Control of Our Learning Environments: In-Person vs Virtual Learning”.

As #MedEd leaders, let us not give in to the apparent triumph of virtuality in education, where much is lost.

One of the common criticisms of NephroCheck and other biomarkers of AKI is that since we don't have a treatment for AKI, checking these do not change what we do.

But I think this view isn't thoughtful.

Given that most of the contrast associated nephropathy we see after cardiac cath has been shown to be meaningless hemodynamic changes in creatinine and not actual tubular damage, we could have avoided scaring a generation of doctors in to believing in contrast nephropathy had we evolved from creatinine to biomarkers.

Similarly, how many heart failure patients have gotten inadequate diuresis because of panic over a bump in creatinine? I suspect, had we transitioned to biomarkers of kidney injury, cardiologists and nephrologists would have been more confident in pressing forward with needed diuresis.

Better diagnosis would allow better management despite not having an AKI pill (yet).

@ParijatSen11 Agreed.
I don’t mind it to get a quick birds-eye view to make sure critical things are done as I review a plan, but frankly for young trainees especially I think it impairs understanding of the overall picture and making connections. It feels superficial.

Louder for the cheap seats in the back…

[Parijat Sen @ParijatSen11]

Unpopular opinion but the systems based approach in the ICU never made sense to me. Problems based approach gives a true overview
“CVS: Hypotension, needing pressors
GI: massive lower GI bleed” doesn’t mean much
“Hemorrhagic shock 2/2 massive lower GI bleed does” 🤷🏽‍♂️

#TipsForNewDocs

Clear presentations on rounds:

Present in the same order every time (like filling in blanks in a template).

Don't editorialize objective data- state facts.

Don’t wander into A/P until you get to the A/P- you and listeners will get lost.
