Medicine is a field in the service of humanity. It’s that shared humanity that makes it as much an art as a science as Osler taught us many years ago.
AI is a tool. Like all tools in our toolkit we have a choice to use it intentionally, we need to use the right AI models for the right use cases, understand their limitations and evolve our skill sets as all our tools evolve. We need to make sure that every tool we add to our toolkit is patient centric and helps us improve outcomes, decrease cost of care delivery, improve access to care and prevent fragmentation & harm.
Our patients and families deserve the very best. I often wonder, can AI help me become the best possible version of myself as a physician and leader? I think AI-based operational efficiencies, task shifting for tasks like documentation, chart summaries etc; efficient access to EBM synthesis at the bedside can help us improve the translation of evidence to the bedside, can help us get some valuable time back to see the human being behind every patient, every disease.
Like @EricTopol shared in deep medicine, AI has the potential to make us more compassionate. I think it’s an exciting time where we might have a real opportunity to put “care” back into health care and move the focus from disease care to human centric care. No one wants to make errors while taking care of fellow human beings, if AI can help create a safety net to prevent Swiss cheese models in care delivery, it might help us uphold two key principles: Primum non nocere (First do no harm) and Non Sibi Sed Omnibus (Not for self but for all). AI is not the “why” in medicine but it can be a part of the “how” @simonsinek
@IndiGo6E Hi!! Let me try to put this as civil as I can because it’s really hard after what we went through. So we traveled from Doha to Hyderabad on Indigo flight 6E1314 on 11/28/2024 and found that 3 of our 4, check in baggages missing. There was no proper response at the
accountability and transparency, I think you should probably have second thoughts about running an airline business .The customers should not face this for your screw ups and it is definitely not our job to keep on chasing you.
ICU stories: Eldelry pt w CAD s/p multi-vessel PCI / DM2 / HTN presented to the ED w epigastric "burning". Symptoms much worse with laying down & while eating. No relief w iv famotidine; got relief with morphine. Troponin I elevated and peaked at 1,000 (nl <15). ECG:
We all saw it coming, the nephrologist shortage is real and is massive. Will it means less duties will be directed to Renal? (eg transplant to surgery? Na to Endo?) More salary? Open gates to foreigners? Re-thinking the field? Or just work double time?
For student coming onto #cardiacsurgery: here’s a primer on cardiopulmonary bypass I usually give between rounds and incision
You won’t pass perfusion boards from this 🧵but hopefully you’ll feel more oriented at the table.
