I’ve attended several talks about AI in healthcare. They often speak about similar ethical issues… but I don’t hear them discuss the environmental impact of AI, which is obviously very relevant to health! #SOAPAM2025

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all.
It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.

Feeling pretty conflicted about following through with a previous commitment to be an abstract reviewer for a US based med org if they aren’t shouting from the rooftops against the onslaught of ignorant and hateful BS from the Orange Idiot.

1/ Will the absolute insanity happening in the US influence articles that American based medical journals will/won’t accept for publication? Is this the end of peer review there? What meaning will a journal’s impact factor have?

I’m curious about #nocebo in patients with significant trauma history. When building trust can be more precarious, do we risk losing it if we don’t warn the pt that it’s possible something could hurt? Has this been specifically studied? Thoughts? #AnSky #traumainformedcare #OBanes

How incredibly awful things are going to be. My heart breaks for those in the US who will suffer under this idiocracy. I had better see medical orgs speaking out & defending trans rights, women’s rights… honestly, human rights.

A doctor’s letter to United Healthcare for denying nausea meds for a child on chemo

Me: “You can put your arm on the arm rest next to you if you’d like”
Pt, on OR table: *blindly fumbles around while staring straight up at the ceiling*
Me: 🫠
I swear I see this play out far more often than pts who will actually turn their head to look for the arm rest. Anyone else? #AnSky

Very likely that I’ll be inconsistently active here, but just really would love to see a #MedEd #ObAnes #GlobalHealth community here, like there used to be on Twitter before it went to trash.
