โAI red-teaming firm Mindgard said it manipulated health tech startup Doctronic's system into tripling an OxyContin dose, mislabeling methamphetamine, and spreading false vaccine claims.โ

NEW: I and colleagues reviewed 15,000 documents to illuminate how Jeffrey Epstein used VIP doctors to control and manipulate young women* โ and how the doctors helped him, treating his needs as more important than the patients'. Gift link.

Oh, yeah? Would a dying empire do THIS?!
Relevant to this soft-glam fascist's comments today, there's a bill in Florida to ban prescribing birth control to minorsโor even giving teens information about itโwithout parental consent. It's called HB 173
The attacks on contraception are, and have been, in motion
I spoke with Dr. April Lockley, medical director of the Miscarriage and Abortion hotline, who has fielded questions from hundreds of people managing their abortions at home.
Since Roe v. Wade fell, many callers are filled with concern: โIf I go to the emergency room, will they call the police?โ
Doctors are asking for permission? Thatโs nice to hear, in a way. (I donโt use AI but itโs not standard practice to ask for permission in some places Iโve workedโฆ) Totally agree about the power differential, though.
Oh, I misunderstood. Thatโs good at least! The one thing I donโt miss about Epic is the chat functionโฆ
Especially when my response 99% of the time is either, โPlease make an appointment so we can discuss this furtherโ or โIโd be happy to discuss this at your next appointment.โ ๐ฑ
Some arguments from the abortion debate over when life starts seem strikingly relevant: why should the appearance of a few familiar traits that offer the potential of personhood in the future permit this thing to displace certainly-people right now?
weโre also living through intense anti-science backlash. as a primary doc, i have patients requesting tests that donโt even exist outside of research labs, that have zero evidence to support their clinical usefulness - but chatgpt told them this test is the one โtheyโ donโt want you to know about.
Oh, I 1000% agree about OB care! That should absolutely be the top priority, given how many rural areas are absolute maternity deserts.
Iโm not EM, but I think itโs an equity issue. APPs have vastly different training and experience levels vary. For low acuity care, it may be appropriate but you can never predict when high acuity cases will arise. Rural hospitals should be funded so they can recruit and retain physicians.
I fully believe that AI will be used against doctors and patients. Doctors will be expected to use โtime savedโ to work longer hours. Staff (RNs, MAs, pharm techs) will be laid off. And patients will suffer from AI errors and data privacy issues. Not to mention the environmental costsโฆ
Totally agree. Doctors, especially in primary care, are overwhelmed. Weโre being pushed by our employers to see more and more patients in less and less time with ever-increasing demand for documentation and insurance-related paperwork. But AI sure as hell isnโt the fix for that.
But now thereโs a decent chance your doctor is using ambient AI to document your medical chart and consulting AI when theyโre unsure of your diagnosisโฆ Trust me, medicine is as deeply uncritical of AI as any techbro.
that article was physically painful to read.
We had no way of anticipating how the car would revolutionize the landscape. With it came highways, streets, drunk driving, day trips to the sea, road rage, etc etc. We weren't intentional in how we adopted the car nor how we adopted the EMR. What culture do we intend to create with AI? 10/10
Iโm excited to share "Anatomy of a Decision," a new resource that uses the "Narrative Laboratory" of Greyโs Anatomy to teach rigorous Medical Ethics. ๐ฉบ๐
Bioethics doesn't have to be sterile. Weโre taking the drama of Grey Sloan Memorial and putting it under the philosophical microscope to explore:
agreed!! Zionist propaganda has no place in a movement that claims to be rooted in repro justice.
Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college:
1. Celluloid Jesus (representations of Jesus in film)
2. Shakespeareโs Sexual Politics
3. Dostoevsky
4. Anthropology of Fertility and Reproduction
5. Beginning Dutch
this sounds so cool!
Sorry, but I just donโt believe that creating more medical schools will solve the crisis of primary care. We have to actually address why this job is unsustainable for many practicing docs and unattractive to students and trainees. #fmsky
A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:
"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."
and
"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

every dollar our government spends on โmaternity homesโ for juicing the #adoption industryโs domestic infant supply is a dollar not spent on giving pregnant women the support they need to keep their own children
This is Minneapolis:
Iโm at a major healthcare clinic (just here for a friend) and overheard the front desk staff mention theyโve had 97 missed appointments today.
People arenโt getting medical care bc theyโre afraid to leave home.

Still from the 1975 documentary Grey Gardens, featuring Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale. The specific scene captures her reading while sitting on a cot outdoors, with the subtitle quoting her saying, "Now, where am I? January 10."

I appreciate your thoughts on this. My current employer uses an ambient AI scribe program for charting, which I refuse to use. Itโs astounding to me the absolute lack of any critical thought on AI among doctors. Itโs all just breathless wishcasting about how this tech will save us.
donate, if you can! PSA is doing amazing work.
what if you take every "new year, new you" you see this year and
change the meaning from "make yourself smaller because smaller is better, make sure you're never too big"
change the meaning to "fatness is neutral, fatness is good, take fatness off the criteria list for how you eat"
