Benchmark: physicians rated GPT-5.6 slightly higher on written responses. Andreessen: 'AI is a better doctor than 99.99% of doctors.' Techno fascists gonna techno fascist. Always.
‼️Just learned, another Venezuelan doctor detained. All documents were fine. But this is not about the documents. And her 5 year old child is detained with her and the child is a US citizen.
There are not enough US Med School grads to fill all available residency slots. I wrote about it last fall. The math just is not working.
And while we are advocating for ways to get doctors to their training programs, on X Typhoid Mary and Do No Harm attack those who matched to residency spots.
Means does not have an active license. A doctor may not complete residency but have an active license per state laws. But once you license is inactive it means that you don't have an active license. So her license was issued initially until 12/31/2027 but was inactivated on 1/1/2026.
I just saw this on Instagram. This is exactly the point. Immigrants are part of this country; they contribute to its greatness. Immigration is not a failure or something to be ashamed of. And it is not evil that requires people to be detained or put in cages.
Add to this list Ahish Jha calling Oz, JayB and MartyM pretty reasonable
Seriously, dude. Tweeting is NOT the answer when you’re a U.S. senator. Maybe try using some of the tools you actually have to fix the disaster you created by voting for RFK Jr.
This is a real post from HHS. It is time to impeach this MAHA Man! Come march with us on November 5th demanding RFK Jr impeachment!
🚨Oh look! Disinfo Dozen guy is spreading disinfo about our march! Come march with us on November 5th! RFK Jr must go!
The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, & Pensions will hold a virtual confirmation hearing over the nomination of Casey Means to be U.S. surgeon general next week, 5 mths after she was nominated. She will be calling in from Hawaii. I. Have. So. Many. Questions. Also, RFK Jr must go!
I am glad I had an amazing opportunity to listen to her speech live. And we still haven't learned anything.
Finally, my book has arrived. So excited to start reading it! @joho.bsky.social
Practicing medicine without a license. Remember that HCQ grift started when he said the drug works. And he wanted to give people bleach.
The AMA President: The United States relies heavily on foreign-born doctors because of a crippling shortage of physicians across the country. Charging a six-figure visa fee to get qualified foreign-born doctors to fill that gap will only make the situation worse. www.usnews.com/opinion/arti...
This is right on point. If foreign-trained doctors had to pay $100,000 to move to the U.S., there would be no rural or underserved medicine. I have worked in underserved, suburban, and rural settings, as well as in community and public health hospitals. I know very well who fills those places.
While aimed at tech, I just heard of somebody in the medical field who canceled their travel to the US fearing to be denied entry. And this paragraph is worrisome for all H1B holders
Jason Goldman, the President of the American College of Physicians said Secretary Kennedy’s vaccine committee is undermining confidence in vaccines and physicians’ ability to care for patients, and urged the Senate to exercise oversight to protect public health.
