🩺 New on Substack: When We Forgive Doctors but Flay the Bots

We pardon human mistakes - but crucify machines for theirs.
If we trust doctors despite their flaws, why demand perfection from code?

Cant wait to read After Shock by @ranaawdish.bsky.social . Dr Awdish's storytelling is superb and her writing unsparing.

Honoured to be featured in the Irish Daily Mail on my new book Dr Bot @yalebooks.bsky.social

AI can already spot rare diseases, predict suicide risk & even write more empathic notes than doctors.

Question is: who should run our medical future: governments or tech giants?

My twin has myotonic dystrophy. At one appointment she was told cramps in her feet could be ‘ironed out with a rolling pin.’ Another doc put her symptoms down to ‘wear and tear’ — as if she were a trapeze artist. My column in today’s Irish Daily Mail on patients, docs & AI.

Great night of discussion on AI and medicine over dinner at the Royal Society of Medicine in London. Glad to be a guest of Richard Susskind who spoke with Sandra L J Johnson. Chaired by President Julia Manning and hosted also with Gillian Leng CBE. Very memorable night

Stonking review of Dr Bot. Huge thanks to Dr Richard Lehman for this review in the British Journal of General Practice. Very gratifying that a leading British doctor and researcher, someone who has worked in primary care for years "gets" it.

Doctors prize “judgment.” But patients don’t want judgment—they want health. I discuss some personal lessons from Richard Susskind in my new piece:
