💬 Viewpoint: #AI-enabled tools in clinical education offer real-time guidance and personalization but raise concerns about automation bias, illusion of explanatory depth, and erosion of clinical judgment if uncritically adopted.

I am incredibly proud of my officers and staff who have worked so hard to save the lives of children, investigate the horrific incident from yesterday, working with partners to provide reassurance to our communities and now they are facing this level of violence from these thugs

[Sarah Almond @almondsarah]

Afghanistan is the ONLY country in the world where female education is a barred.

903 days since the Taliban banned girls from school. 444 days since Taliban banned women from university.

Speak up Afghanistan’s women & girls📢

A real privilege to be doing research into such an important condition for children and their families. We are so grateful for the support of @BowelResearch and the families who support this work!

Labour pain is notorious for being one of the worst pains in the world.

Does anyone seriously think we'd be offering sterile water as analgesia if men gave birth?

Women deserve better than this.

Apparently my dad is doing the ortho oncall on Boxing Day. It’ll be a surprise to him, seeing as he’s a retired biology teacher. I’m sure he’ll cope admirably.

[Lucy Easthope @LucyGoBag]

Full of apologies… full of deference… full of self deprecation and emojis so they don’t hate us. When will women in some of the most senior positions in the land be able to stop writing emails like this?

@TariqAlanazi_ @KatyMcconkey @mmamas1973 @TheSaudiHeart @SACIS_KSA @alhabeebw @hamedsghamdi @MBalghith @AlkashkariWail @mirvatalasnag @FFayoubi Sometimes I forget to accept history as a justification for contemporary female exclusion.

@KatyMcconkey @mmamas1973 @TheSaudiHeart @SACIS_KSA @alhabeebw @hamedsghamdi @MBalghith @AlkashkariWail @mirvatalasnag @FFayoubi Indeed….where are they?

[Rodrigo Gerardo, M.D. 🟧 @RodGerardo]

I’m honored that Dr Yancey’s children let me tell the story of their father and his contributions to surgery. His recognition is long overdue! Thanks to @AshGosain for encouraging me to present at #SAAS2023

[Sarah Almond @almondsarah]

Glad I have not met this person as my doctor or as a colleague.

[Sarah Almond @almondsarah]

@RoshanaMN @TMitchellFRCS @RCSnews My colleague suggested he probably wasn’t concentrating on his reply because he was so busy doing all the hard cases….

@SophieRunning And the reply from the President of our Royal College:

[The Guardian @guardian]

Patients have better outcomes with female surgeons, studies find

[Roshana 🦴 @RoshanaMN]

Apart from the fact there are now multiple studies that show women have better outcomes than men

Not one flawed one, but multiple huge ones

Where is the reflection? Where is the humility?

It is right to scrutinise the evidence BUT are limitations & ‘associations not causations’ all you had to say?

[Women in Surgery @WomenSurgeonsUK]
