So excited to be included in my friend @dhruvkhullar.bsky.social’s amazing piece on AI and diagnosis.
Just to be mentioned in the same article as Dr. Dhaliwal is an honor itself.

How good is A.I. at making medical diagnoses? Good enough to help—and to hurt.
For @newyorker.com, I spent months talking to patients, doctors, and researchers about how we can make the most of a powerful new technology and how we can minimize the side effects.

If A.I. Can Diagnose Patients, What Are Doctors For?
Large language models are transforming medicine—but the technology comes with side effects.

Humble request…
Before commenting on a change in serum Creatinine, please ensure:
1) The change is >= 0.3mg/dL
2) You tell me what the BUN did as well.

If a value in the patient’s chart is abnormal and you’re tempted to say “… but it’s stable” to adjudicate that nothing needs to be done…
I’d encourage you to have an explanation for it before commenting on its stability

Wheels up to Vegas! Super excited for #SHM #Converge25
Who’s here?!
Giving a session with @adamrodmanmd.bsky.social where we will be using #AI to augment #clinicalreasoning
Will also be teaming up with @mededpocus.bsky.social, Erin Finn and Ann Marie Kumfer to meld #POCUS with reasoning!

Well… I’m fully committed to @bsky.app. Closed down my Twitter account this week.
Tough decision given the wonderful people I’ve connected with and the great directions it took my career but I felt obligated to in the current climate.
Looking forward to the similar next phase with you on all here

Vancomycin is the bay leaf of the antibiotic world. Gets included in everything, doesn’t do much and gets the same credit as the beta-lactams that are pulling the weight

The ROI for lung ultrasound in terms of times it changes management compared to easiness of mastery is a no brainer

There is no better bedside test for LVEDP assessment AND it can liberate you from relying on this crappy AP CXRs

I love love LOVE scanning the heart 😍, but when it comes to bang for your buck for ultrasound novices, lung ultrasound is such a winner 🏆
It's time for another #POCUS basics #skeetorial 🧵

So frequently people want to get into pathology without fundamentally being able to distinguish whether a view is adequate to even make a call.
