Some doctors sharpen themselves with courses.
The best? Sharpen by teaching.

Every time I taught juniors, I discovered angles I’d missed in books.

Teaching forces you to think differently—
and it sharpens you as much as it helps them.

Has teaching ever sharpened you?

Healthcare staff failed at this.
And they’ll keep failing if nothing changes.

Postpartum psychosis is rare, but deadly.

What makes it worse? We miss it.

Sleeplessness brushed off, mania mistaken for joy, paranoia dismissed.

When appendicitis hides behind a sore throat.

A physician battled fatigue & sore throat for months, only to discover perforated appendicitis requiring 47 cm of bowel removal.

Not every sore throat is just a sore throat.

AI is now being built into CME platforms.

It tracks your answers, your specialty, and your learning history to suggest the most relevant modules.

For busy clinicians, this could save time. But I wonder, can an algorithm really spot our blind spots better than we can ourselves?

Publication Writing = The seed (evidence)

Medical Writing = The soil (education)

Health Journalism = The sunlight (awareness)

Medical Copywriting = The water (growth/action)

Regulatory = The fence (safety and compliance)

Grant Writing = The roots (resources and funding)

@readswithravi Absolutely...

Every medical writer faces the same challenge: balancing accuracy with clarity.

. Write only for doctors, and you risk losing patients.

. Write only for patients, and you risk losing precision.

. Write only for regulators, and you risk losing engagement.

@WHOAFRO @UNFPA To @WHO, @UNFPA, and global partners:

We don’t need more reports. We need action.

✅ Subsidized maternal health insurance
✅ Enforce emergency care regardless of payment
✅ Invest in access where poverty still decides life or death

A pregnant woman in Nigeria lost her twins.
Not because doctors failed her.
Not because she didn’t seek care.

But because she couldn’t pay ₦28,000 (~$35) to be admitted.

No mother should pay before being allowed to live.

@WHOAFRO @UNFPA — this must change.
#maternalhealth

[Sayid Omar @SayidOmar_]

@WHOAFRO @UNFPA This tragedy reflects the Three Delays Model in maternal health:

1️⃣ Delay in deciding to seek care
2️⃣ Delay in reaching care
3️⃣ Delay in receiving care

She faced all three. The last delay — care denied due to cost — is the most devastating.

[Sayid Omar @SayidOmar_]

Doctors are leaning into AI to understand the science and make decisions.

But AI alone can’t turn evidence into practice.
That’s what MedComms is for.

As AI becomes part of every doctor’s toolkit—how should MedComms evolve to stay relevant?

[Sayid Omar @SayidOmar_]

Did you know lawmakers in the U.S. now mandate nutrition education throughout medical school?

That shift matters because preventing chronic diseases isn’t just about treatment—it’s education.

Don’t just update us clinically; design CME that actually changes how we care.
#CME

Writing isn’t a puzzle you solve by memorizing rules.

Some days the title comes first, other days it arrives last. Sometimes you need an outline, sometimes you just dive in.

The only constant?

You don’t get better by learning rules. You get better by writing.

@GadzhiIman's videos used to dominate.

Then his voice changed — not his fault, but the copywriters'.
Loyal fans noticed, stopped engaging… and the algorithm followed.

Creators: your voice is your brand's heartbeat. Guard it.

A threat will be isolated.
A pawn will be used.
Resources will be exploited.
The ordinary will be ignored.

But the unknown will always be watched with awe and fear!
