Physicians in crisis: the battle for autonomy and happiness in a broken system
What’s one of the biggest complaints we physicians have about the current state of our jobs? It’s that we’ve lost our autonomy, that it has been taken from us by a health care system more focused on profits than on the well-being of patients and ourselves. As a physician, you know firsthand how dysfunctional health

AI in Healthcare: A Great Add-on, Not a Replacement
There has been this huge rush to implement AI wherever it can be added. And while nothing is wrong with this, it’s important that we don’t loose sight of AI being a tool and not a replacement. There are so many great things that AI can do, such as data gathering, increased pattern recognition, etc. However, it cannot fully nor successfully replace a human. A human touch is very much still needed, not only to get the AI to function as it should but in order for patients to feel comfortable.
So instead of looking for one or the other, it’s important to look for a balance. For a closer look at this balance w...

The 7 Habits of Highly Stress-Resilient Minds
Are you suffering from chronic stress? Many of us are—whether we’re stressed out by our jobs, complicated relationships, caregiving responsibilities, or the general state of the world.
That’s where Elissa Epel’s new book, The Stress Prescription, comes in. A health psychologist and director of the Aging, Metabolism, and Emotions Center at the University of California, San Francisco, Epel explains how stress affects our bodies and minds—including our health, happiness, and longevity—and how to manage it in the best way possible.

I Love Explaining Medical Things
BY HANS DUVEFELT
A lot of people don’t know much about how the body works. One of my jobs as a physician is to explain how things work in order to empower my patient to choose how to deal with it when the body isn’t working right.
On my blog I have written about this many times, for example in the 2010 post GUY TALK:
Guy Talk
One of the first challenges I faced as a foreign doctor from an urban background practicing in a small town in this country was finding the right way to explain medical issues to my male patients. They were farmers and fishermen without much experience with illness, medications or medi...

Let ’ s Do Public Health Better
BY KIM BELLARD
Eric Reinhart, who describes himself as “a political anthropologist, psychoanalyst, and physician,” has had a busy month. He started with an essay in NEJM about “reconstructive justice,” then an op-ed in The New York Times on how our health care system is demoralizing the physicians who work in it, and then the two that caught my attention: companion pieces in The Nation and Stat News about reforming our public health “system” from a physician-driven one to a true community health one.
He’s preaching to my choir. I wrote almost five years ago: “We need to stop viewing public healt...

SCOTUS Tackles Unconstitutional, and Unwise, Student Loan Cancelation
Clark Neily andNeal McCluskeyWhen President Bidenannounced that he would unilaterally cancel up to $20,000 of federal student debt for almost everyone holding any, he may have thought his action unstoppable. No one, he might have concluded, would have standing in court to block him. But the legal sailing hasn ’t been so smooth, with two courts finding that the plaintiffs had standing, and the U.S. Supreme Court set to hear their cases tomorrow. If the Supreme Court agrees that the plaintiffs have standing, Biden’s declaration is in big trouble, because it’s clearly unconstitutional.It ’s also terrible policy.Biden ...

Wearable Device Senses When Vocal Fatigue Sets in
Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a wearable that can detect when someone is talking or singing, and tallies this information up to provide a warning when the wearer might be at risk of vocal fatigue. Overusing your voice in a short space of time can lead to vocal fatigue and even injury. This technology is useful for patients with vocal disorders, but also for people who rely on their voices a lot, such as singers, politicians, and teachers. The device communicates with a smartphone app to keep track of voice use. The researchers are also developing a system whereby a user can indicate in the app if th...
