Dropping tomorrow: a thank-you to my readers.

I created a free guide to the seminal GLP-1 clinical trials—the studies that shaped the field and continue to inform clinical care.

Nearly 10,000 subscribers in just five months is beyond anything I could have imagined. This is my way of saying thank you.

OH: “i’ve switched to Kimi from claude for a bunch of work. it’s just so much more fun because it just does the thing instead of lecturing you”

Woke lobotomized models are the enemy of American competitiveness.

There is no failure. Only do and learn…

We think clinical AI should be boring in the good way.

Not "trust us, it's magic."

More like: "here's how it works, here's where it breaks, here's what we did about that."

1/ Time to get off the fence re: AI for colon polyp detection? The CADeNCE trial in @AGA_Gastro:
334,000 colonoscopies, 139 VA facilities = largest real-world randomized study of CADe.

@nikillinit Congratulations, @nikillinit!!

Physicians deserve the paper too, not a paywall.

Exciting news today!

Doximity is now on desktop.

And the Clinical AI Suite just hit 150 health systems and 8 of the top 20 hospitals in the country.

@mcuban @ErikKaiser @mcuban - ASCs are still largely underutilized in the US. The majority of proceedures done in a hospital can be done in an out patient asc, at a fraction of the cost

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

@ErikKaiser You can do that today. There are hospitals that believe they do this exactly. In particular, ASCs.

7 stories we are watching today at Becker's Healthcare

1. Hospitals face growing fallout from ACA coverage cliff Alan Condon. Some serious impact from the reduced consumers using the exchanges and payors pulling back in several markets.

2. AI is finding cancer earlier. Are systems ready for what comes next? A fascinating piece by Elizabeth Gregerson.

3. UPMC to buy system from CommonSpirit, enter Ohio: 6 things to know. Kelly Gooch and Alan Condon. This makes geographic and likely a lot of business sense for UPMC and for CommonSpirit Health. UPMC has 40 hospitals. CommonSpirit has 137.

4. Judy Faulkner: Why Epic has only lost 1 customer. Giles Bruce. It's remarkable the vision and discipline and overall skills and drive that Judy Faulkner has.

5. The next phase of the GLP-1 boom. A terrific piece by Paige Twenter. $131.9 billlon in business done in 2025. Medicare will start to cover for obesity.

6. 7 physician specialties see pay drops Mariah Taylor. This article based on a Medscape report highlights these specialties.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation: -1%
Nephrology: -1%
Dermatology: -1%
Oncology and hematology: -2%
Pulmonary medicine: -2%
Allergy and immunology: -3%
Psychiatry: -3%

7. We are so excited for two big events Becker's Healthcare hosts in June. We have each the first Rural Healthcare Leadership Summit. We also have the orthopedic, spine and pain management driven ASC conference this June. Jessica Cole for more information.

Our mission @ThroneScience is to build the smoke detector for colon cancer.

In the lab, we're currently able to detect fecal occult blood (microscopic blood in stool) 100,000x more sensitive than the naked eye

We're still a ways out from commercializing, but the weight of our mission propels us forward.

More Americans died of colorectal cancers last year than all traffic accidents.

Succeeding at our mission means we have the opportunity to save more lives than Tesla + Waymo, combined.

It would be interesting if there was third-party testing and authorization for peptides the same way there is for supplements. An external stamp of purity and authenticity.
