💬 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. https://t.co/a7CV5VXIqe
Among ICU patients with a central venous access device, locking with 4% t-EDTA reduced the incidence of a composite outcome including bloodstream infection, occlusion requiring alteplase, and catheter removal vs control fluids.

@thekaransinghal This looks fantastic and promising as we see our daily workflow getting streamlined with the help of AI, like a personal secretary to help in documentation, besides providing clinical insights, HIPPA compliance should be enforced by default rather than optional.
A great resident or fellow learns to navigate uncertainty, communicate clearly, prioritize well, and balance self-care with professional duty. They take ownership, remain teachable, and design care around the individual patient. Just as importantly, they understand exactly which studies support current practice, including who was studied, what treatment was given, and what outcomes were measured. Knowledge matters, but so do reliability, judgment, humility, and the ability to connect evidence to the person in front of you.
In a randomized controlled study of 1,298 participants, performance of humans when assisted by an #LLM was inferior to the LLM alone when assessing 10 medical scenarios.

Habits so simple you think they’re not worth doing, but have a profound impact on your life:
- Not touching your phone when you wake up
- Not thinking about work after work is done
- Putting a book down once you find an idea worth thinking about
- Setting aside time to do nothing for 10 minutes a day
- Going on a short walk after each meal
- Eating a meal without a screen in front of you
- Saying "I don't know" instead of pretending you do
- Asking "What if this isn't actually a problem?" before trying to solve it
- Letting yourself be bad at something instead of expecting perfection
- Trying to understand something you disagree with instead of looking for flaws
- Defaulting to "no" until you think through the commitment
