Always trying to be a better person

[Dimitrios Tsatiris MD @DrDimitrios]

Dear physician,

What hurts most is the betrayal.

You sacrificed the best years of your life to become a physician.

You skipped countless family events.

You took on hundreds of thousands in student loans.

You thought the sacrifices would be worth it.

Only to enter a system that undermines your autonomy, dismisses your expertise and interferes with your ability to best care for patients.

🔬As the editor of @SurgEndosc, I'm with JAMA on its new AI rules. No AI in peer review, no invented citations. Easy call.
But let's be real-nobody's putting this genie back. I can't tell when an author ran a paragraph through a model to clean it up, and neither can you. I’m not sure trying to police the software makes sense. The question I care about: will a human put their name on the work and vouch for it as accurate and not faked?
This is a platform shift, like the PC was. You either learn to use it well or you get left behind. Medicine won't be the exception.

My 2 cents on research during medical school & residency:

Research success is easy to metric (20 articles!!) and communicate on the CV in a highly visible way.

Mastering clinical medicine is nearly impossible to metric or report accurately on a CV.

The inevitable result = students & trainees are pushed to focus on research (at the cost of spending less time learning clinical medicine).

This is a major problem. For most trainees and students, skimping on clinical knowledge while mastering the dark art of publishing scientific articles won't serve them well in the long run.

@PeterItebimien @BrownJHM I think we should consider starvation ketosis too. I know this is a case of methanol poisoning, but jumping to the conclusion that homeless = alcohol/drug user can cause us to miss other things. I think getting serum/urine ketones can be helpful so that we don't miss starvation

Brief reminder that the 3 different lumens of a 'triple lumen' central line are *not* equivalent in terms of flow rate.

The distal (brown) lumen usually has a greater diameter and a much higher maximum flow rate than either of the other 2 lumens.
