Fun fact: there’s no study which shows computer order entry is safer than verbal orders. In many cases it can be much better for patient care. Doctors aren’t always near a computer while on call. They do surgery. They go home. They drive places. Imagine a nurse needs an order from the doctor. Doctor is nowhere near a computer, or scrubbed into surgery. A verbal order, with read back, is much better for the patient than waiting for the doctor to find a computer, especially for something urgent. This is why many hospitals still allow verbal orders. And, again, there’s no evidence to show this is less safe than forcing the doctor to spend time finding a computer, logging in, getting to a patient chart, doing the 50+ clicks to enter an order, and signing it. But of course those in the administrative class think that wanting your doctor to do actual patient care instead of data entry work makes you a moron.

Just found out about recency bias. Maybe the most important bias ever

The Indian right wing’s love affair with Israel and Netanyahu is ultimately rooted in one thing: its visceral hatred of Muslims. Their admiration for Modi and Netanyahu comes from the same impulse- leaders who will subjugate Muslims, and “show them their place” in the world.
