Our former med student, Casey Means, will finally have her nomination hearing for US Surgeon General this week. Listen to why she is a poor pick for this important role, using a deep dive into her 2024 book Good Energy as a window into her knowledge, priorities, & perspective.

Congratulations! If you ever visit Bay Area let me know!
Sleep is such an important but overlooked part of preventive & primary care! As of now in real medicine, the general screening that we offer is a really poor predictor for sleep much less dementia (not to mention the lack of access) so I’m so excited for the eventual implementation of this study!
The CDC's new childhood immunization schedule represents one of the most dramatic changes in childhood disease prevention policy in decades.

This case shows that even in states with statutory exceptions to abortion bans, such bans still may result in failure to provide timely lifesaving medical care. Correspondence C.P. Diniz et al.
A 43-year-old woman who had a cervical ectopic pregnancy diagnosed at a Florida clinic at 10 weeks’ gestation was denied care at two hospitals owing to the presence of a detectable fetal heart rate. Full case details: nej.md/3KWXjQm
✅ Professional milestone: Newly board certified in Obesity Medicine through the American Board of Obesity Medicine, which makes me now triple (!) board certified alongside Internal medicine and Clinical Informatics. www.linkedin.com/posts/juliej...
It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.
Scientific evidence shows, once again, there is no causal link between vaccines and autism. Vaccines cause adults. - @drtedros.who.int
Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.
Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.
Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you!
Pleased to announce I have passed the ABOM boards, & now a diplomate! That makes me…triple Board Certified (❗️) in internal medicine, clinical informatics, obesity medicine.
There is much synergy in informatics and IM/obesity med so I’m excited to explore new research & applied ventures!
Before my leave, I achieved something that probably only 3% of physicians (especially primary care) have ever achieved on the EMR: reach true inbox zero.
I’ll take that award! 🥇
Physicians engaging in advocacy is critical for climate health, especially in the cases of increasing AI usage and its impact on planetary health! Thank you for the feature @journalgim.bsky.social ! #medsky #informaticssky
Happy Halloween 🎃 ! I’m glad I got to do a most life stage appropriate costume and at least 3 people recognized me as Ali Wong. Big surprise for the few patients who established care with me today #halloween
What if doctors use anger to heal the planet?
Our popular @societygim.bsky.social workshop has been detailed in @journalgim.bsky.social on how to teach physicians to channel emotion thru medical humanities to inspire advocacy for planetary health in the age of AI. doi.org/10.1007/s116...

It was wonderful reconnecting at the @stanforddeptmed.bsky.social Primary Care Population Health Division retreat! I helped teach a session on using LLMs for clinical reasoning and patient education tools like @openevidence.bsky.social using prompt engineering frameworks.
To Come Home To Yourself May all that is unforgiven in you Be released. May your fears yield Their deepest tranquilities. May all that is unlived in you Blossom into a future Graced with love.
Friend gave me a John O’Donohue book recently. It’s quite good.

Happy Friday to all primary care doctors and specialists who order their own labs instead of “deferringto someone else“! ✌️#ownyourmanagement
….she’s also a relentless little food gremlin who just stole a piece of croissant off the table while I wasn’t looking.
The world kind of feels like a mess right now but sometimes all you need is a little kitten who thinks you’re her entire world to realize you just need a little bit of kindness.

A new study finds that "cheap" open-source AI models may be more expensive than proprietary ones due to lower token efficiency. They often use 1.5 to 4 times more compute tokens to perform the same task, offsetting their lower per-token cost. #MLSky
I don't know who needs to hear this, but believe in yourself, truly and freely, because that can be the difference between making the seemingly impossible happen to just bedrotting & dreaming away.
Instead of regurgitating the bromide that LLMs are just "autocomplete on steroids" (even by people who know better), maybe we can actually engage in some public education. The problem with genAI is better expressed through a classic computer science concept, known as SYMBOL GROUNDING. 🧵

A quick reminder to all doctors--there's this great field called clinical informatics. What is clinical informatics? To use the best definition, from Charles Friedman--it's to MAKE this equation true: A doctor with a computer > doctor alone.
