Meanwhile, some of my colleagues have argued that I can’t safely supervise non-invasive prostate cancer therapy from my clinic area a hundred feet from the patient.
A doctor in Florida performed a medical first on Sunday, using a robotic telesurgery system to perform a surgery at a hospital located 35 miles away. abcnews.link/8QtHN9k
This is a colorized photo of my grandmother in autumn 1920. She is playfully wearing my grandfather‘s World War I uniform.
He had very recently returned from Europe.

“Every physician carries within himself a small cemetery, where from time to time he goes to pray.” — René Leriche
A little history:
ICD 1 had only two codes:
A) possessed by evil spirit
B) not possessed by evil spirit
ICD 2 was a little more complex:
1) Dead
2) Not Dead
3) I say you're Dead
4) I feel happy!
Also sub-codes modifiers for A) covered in poop
or B) Must be a king
ICD 3 had three codes:
A The god(s) are pleased with you
B The god(s) are angry at something you did
C The god(s) are angry at something you failed to do
The existential question:
If radical prostatectomy disappeared from the Earth, is there any stage or grade of prostate cancer for which the overall survival curve would be worse?
Same question, definitive radiation.

Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.
I believe this is the correct take. I certainly hope it is the correct take.
Let me make one correction to what I posted. AI will replace most doctors tasks!
Because most of their tasks are bullshit administrivia introduced by the huge HC conglomerates that serve no purpose.
Asking whether AI can replace doctors practicing medicine is the wrong question and approach to improving care
The question is whether there is anything middlemen like PBMs and ASOs and their subsidiaries do, that AI can’t replace ?
Doing so will give doctors far more time with patients and improve the quality of life for healthcare providers and patients.
And it will reduce the cost of healthcare dramatically
Replace the middlemen with AI
I recently finished building this web-back Windsor chair. Made entirely with antique hand tools. It had a twin which died in production (wood split) but which may be reincarnated in a deacon’s bench.
Whenever I hear “radiotherapy” I picture this guy.
Can a single word influence cancer treatment preferences?
In our randomized experiment, calling the same treatment “radiotherapy” rather than “radiation therapy” increased preference for radiation treatment by 8.3 percentage points.

Hey epic, can I simply click a button for “I am not the responsible provider“ and let that be good for everyone, forever?
Enthusiastic re NRG-GI011. Pt interest is high. It’s also a great opportunity to educate colleagues about critical role of RT in pancreatic cancer. Some seem stuck in the 1980s in their understanding and referral patterns.
Clinical trial subjects are absolutely our heroes.
