I can't recall a @UCSF grand rounds that was more fascinating or mind-blowing than this far-ranging discussion of #ChatGPT's implications for healthcare – clinical, research, and education – by @atulbutte, @AaronNeinstein, @SaraMurrayMD & @LowensteinMD. https://t.co/QKRbMi5Uvt

You cannot know the treatment for every disease (that's why there are specialists) so focus your energy on diagnostic algorithms.
If you can put together symptoms --> diagnostic plan, you'll know who, when, and where to refer.

honestly I highly suggest seeking careers outside of medicine while in medicine. my creative journey has given me a serious glimpse into the ways skills that are undervalued in medicine can be boons outside of it & it’s given me great perspective
A dear friend and incredible physician, so proud of @DorreendaneshMD and grateful for the humanity she brings to her practice and the entire field of medicine!!
Had a patient tell me he if he’s gonna get COVID, he hopes it’s soon because he already met his deductible. Nice little health care system we got ourselves here

When you and a pt are at an impasse, encourage a second opinion.
If the 2nd opinion agrees with you, you look great.
If the 2nd opinion is different, you learn something new.
Regardless, you and the pt benefit: win-win!

It would be cool if for Mother’s Day we collectively worked to achieve things that would actually benefit mothers like childcare, universal healthcare, pay equity, and maternity leave policies that enable bonding and don’t cause harm. But sure, flowers are nice.
I just heard that Navajo Nation, which has done a heroic job wrestling the coronavirus to the ground, is now donating extra PPE to India. The Navajo have been a model of resolve in fighting the pandemic, and are now a model in supporting others worldwide who need help.

Pt prescribed a med- on follow-up, is not taking it.
Wrong: "Pt is noncompliant."
Right: "Pt unable to take med because __. We discussed strategies including __."
Don't start chart rumors - understanding problems >>>>> labeling patients.
