Sadly cost barriers hit patients who need care most (we see this in gynecology too). Delayed care = worse outcomes 👏👏👏

Published ≠ proven. Clinical trials exist for a reason. Just saying ;)

Physics laureate Anton Zeilinger followed his curiosity to India where he discussed the possibilities of parallels between eastern philosophy and quantum mechanics with the Dalai Lama. Watch our 2022 interview: bit.ly/3x2yTOi

We need EVIDENCE-based medicine - where are the RCTs? Anecdotes aren't proof... just saying ;)

DecodeME proves ME/CFS is biological not psychological! Like endometriosis - dismissed until we proved you CAN see it on ultrasound. Just saying 😉

VAERS is passive surveillance (anyone can report anything). A report does NOT mean the vaccine caused it 👍

Puzzling update to Jazz up our World Cup weekend with sobering results of the confirmatory LAGOON trial not showing superiority of neither lurbi alone (in fact trending worse OS) nor lurbi/irinotecan vs SOC chemo (topo or irinotecan). What does this do to current 2nd line lurbi approval and enthusiasm in maintenance setting w starlatamab looming large and new ADCs trying to take a big bite of small cell in the meantime? Sounds like this is more of a murky LAGOON… not the blue one might have hoped for… prnewswire.com/news-releases…

RT @kaclk: Good for Canada I guess, but I’m pretty sure sure the UK also has a health care crisis so not a great look when your limited doc…

Doctors, the opportunity has never been better to build your own practice. Not sure where to start? @Mav_Med is launching soon with my exact playbook-full of my biggest mistakes so you don’t have to make them!

One realization I’ve had while building Respocare Connect AI: When people first see patient records, clinical events, documents, notes, scans, and reports being captured and organized, they often assume we’re building another administrative platform. We’re not. The data isn’t the product. The intelligence is. A blood test isn’t just a document. A SOAP note isn’t just text. A CT scan isn’t just a file. These are clinical events. Each one represents a moment in a patient’s journey. The reason we capture and structure those events isn’t to create another place to store information. Healthcare already has plenty of places to store information. The purpose is to give our agentic clinical assistant the context it needs to reason. Agentic AI is only as good as the memory and context surrounding it. When an AI can understand a patient’s longitudinal history, connect clinical events across time, retrieve the right evidence, and behave within governed clinical boundaries, something powerful happens: Information becomes intelligence. That’s why we’ve spent so much time thinking about clinical events, memory, retrieval, behavior, and governance. Not because we’re building a better filing cabinet. Because we’re building a system that can help clinicians make sense of an ever-growing mountain of clinical information. The future of healthcare AI won’t belong to the companies with the most data. It will belong to the companies that can transform data into trustworthy clinical intelligence. That’s the difference.

"Accept less or leave" for health pros keeping us safe. What a choice. No wonder talent goes where it's actually valued 👍

Spot on - you have to measure tools on what they're FOR. We don't judge an endometriosis ultrasound on whether the image is 'prettier' - we judge on diagnostic accuracy 👍

We need to teach that vaccines DO work. Misinformation like this puts real patients at risk.

An excellent source to quote from the DecodeME study of DNA from 000s of ppl, next time some so-called expert claims mental illness is driving #mecfs:

Careful with cherry-picked data. Statins DO have their place when appropriately prescribed. Just saying ;)

And for further context: The proposed long term capital gains will get taxed at a 30% floor. This is equivalent to the average tax rate paid by someone on $225,747 pa taxable income (excluding Medicare levy)

This piece is hyperbolic, devoid of connection to healthcare in Canada. 16 million attend the ER/year where we don't do MAID. That alone contradicts the "life is cheap" suggestion, as almost all of healthcare is to preserve life and limb. 👇👇👇 We dedicate great expense and effort so that life is not "cheap". Let's for sure critique MAID, but let's keep it linked to reality. The statement MAID is evolving into "an on-demand service for nearly anyone experiencing illness" is journalistic recklessness and bizarre for those Canadians that actually attend to real patients in real hospitals and real clinics. The cheapening of this discourse happens when it's suggested the 3 million people with hearing loss in Canada are opting or thinking about MAID when one man with hearing loss (and mental illness) received MAID. I do find it highly questionable a mentally ill man with hearing problems received MAID, and the House of Commons testimony in this case lacks hundreds of relevent data points to conclude what really happened and why. To say "this country has become a place where death has become the solution to suffering" is shameful and untruthful. I haven't seen this suggestion in clinical reality. What I have seen is thousands of real patients with serious and disabling illness fight, and fight, and fight on to live - supported by a legion of nurses, doctors and other health professionals. It's not true Canada just kills people who have an illness or suffering. Critique MAID, but keep it honest and linked to reality. @RobynUrback theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…
