Here’s the thing, emerging scientists aren’t going to flee to do science elsewhere…they just won’t do the science.

We will lose at least one, if not two generations of knowledge if we don’t get this shit sorted out immediately.

To understand medicine's future you must read Dr. Bot Charlotte Blease nails #PatientsUseAI in a beautifully composed work. Don't miss it.

This book is superb. I have a LOT of thoughts about patient empowerment and restructuring the health system (to benefit both patients and docs), and I would have written this book, if I were able. But I don't have the skills of @crblease.bsky.social! open.substack.com/pub/patients...

There's more to it than nursing; this appears to be a next logical step toward making A Handmaid's Tale into Federal policy. Did you notice that *all* the professions cut out by McMahon's DOE are ones dominated by women?

It makes it harder and more expensive for women to pursue careers they want.

I honestly believe that an objective of this administration is to undercut both education and healthcare so that they end this horrible era of a healthy middle class that is well informed and well served. I honestly believe that.

This is what happened with my family… A comment on another excellent post from @susannahrfox.bsky.social

Honest question: does the place where you go for care actually care about care?

This was the most intelligent, perceptive discussion I've ever had about patient empowerment with someone who's not primarily *in* healthcare. And that's a significant sign: I've always said that the more we "liberate" access to tools and data, the more healthcare will become what we want

Woohoo! Fabulous episode!
#PatientsUseAI

Host Peters Lee and I had lots of laughs and deep thought, and Chrissy Farr is amazing - I knew that her insights come from her own experience as a patient and pediatric mom.

Elon Musk’s Demolition Crew Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has been unleashed on federal agencies. ProPublica is attempting to document who is working with him and what they are doing.

Over the past several weeks, ProPublica has identified dozens of people who worked for DOGE.

#ICYMI: We just added 20 names to our tracker, bringing the total to 66.

Man who self-describes as "happens to have two cancers" says this about #PatientsUseAI.

Hey @burtrosen.bsky.social - I've been thinking (for real) - would you call this "DIY healthcare" or "DTC" (direct to consumer) or "patient autonomy" or what? (Legit question - been pondering this on LinkedIn)
