My job as a family physician in small-town British Columbia is a dream come true. It’s also nearly impossible to do.

AI will soon be everywhere in the NHS. It's a risk for women and ethnic minorities, experts say

AI will soon be everywhere in the NHS. It's a risk for women and ethnic minorities, experts say

Experts warn that new research into AI in healthcare shows a failure to consider the full range of potential bias against particular groups of people will have life or death consequences

What a fun session today! We all agree that #explainableAI can be valuable for insights into model functioning, but cautious re its relevance to individual-level decision-making for patients #bioethics #AIEthics

Interesting case where J has declared C dead. Thus, circumventing Best Interests. If C is dead, does the court have jurisdiction? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-es…

Archie Battersbee treatment should stop, judge rules

The family of Archie Battersbee,12, say they are "devastated" as a court rules life support can end.

Friends have asked, so here it is! 🌻 If you'd like to #HelpUkraineNow consider donating, if you can. These are the 2 organizations that my #Ukrainian 🇺🇦 family and I are donating to: 1) Red Cross: redcross.ca/ 2) Canada-Ukraine Foundation: cufoundation.ca/

And right now, the government of Canada is matching Red Cross donations made by individual Canadians to the Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal! 🇨🇦🕊️🇺🇦
the flip side of the health care crisis is how Canada is also near the bottom on social program spending compared to same OECD peers. this has led to a housing crisis and a shelter system that could never withstand omicron. housing as a human right is a public health emergency.

1/ Today I held a hand that needed to be held. You were so afraid. So, so afraid. You: "I don't want to die from this." Me: "I don't want you to, either." You: "No, I mean this shot." I opened my mouth and then closed it. Before I could speak, you had the phone to your ear.

Great thread re law, articling, making the right choices for you and your goals etc. Worth a read. I especially love and agree with this tweet 👇🏼

Make sure you’re doing what you want to do, not what you think you’re supposed to be doing. We’re all just out here living, so make sure you’re living for yourself. That can still be in service to others - big or small.

As someone who also agonized over the choice to leave legal practice, this thread really resonates with me - it’s the right choice for some, but not for others - but at the end of the day, live for yourself, don’t get tied down by what you “think” you should do.
