Beyond honored to have an essay included in this stunning collection alongside so many writers I admire. Intro by the legendary Rita Charon ♥️ #MedSky

I’ll be speaking at world’s best #EBM conference, 22nd to 24th October 2026, focus on EBM and AI . In #Taormina, renowned, picturesque hilltop town on #Sicily 's east coast, famous for its breathtaking views of the #IonianSea and active #MountEtna www.ebhcconference.org/home.en-GB.h...

My first book, In Shock, is on sale for only $2.99 the month of February. Given…(gestures vaguely) all of this… it’s a great time to read about the essential role of compassion in healing and also get ready for After Shock, coming in June. #medsky

Proud to join ~500 other MN docs in signing on to this @nejm.org piece. Proud of my colleagues. Proud of Ben Trappey for signing his name to it and taking the inevitable heat from some quarters. Stand up and be counted 💪🏼💪🏼

Physicians throughout Minnesota bear witness to the devastation that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is wreaking. They implore physicians everywhere to raise their voices. Read “We Do Care” by Bernard E. Trappey, MD, for Minnesota Physician Voices: nej.md/4akke1G

Published in #BMJ, brilliant, startling exposition from Montori et al of our dystopic future as surveillance capitalism invades health care. Depicts how patients & clinicians are unable to know who is listening to their consultations, who is using their data & to what end www.bmj.com/content/391/...

@bmj.com Christmas edition has wonderful stuff this year, including this www.bmj.com/content/391/... from @vmontori.bsky.social [and other Montoris] on the dangers of big data companies in health 'care'

Fascinating way of disseminating our otherwise very serious piece about surveillance capitalism in healthcare.

Comedian @michaelspicer.bsky.social responds to the feature "Reclaiming human care from surveillance capitalism" from our #BMJChristmas Issue. Read the feature by @vmontori.bsky.social here: www.bmj.com/content/391/...

Abstract deadline extended to Jan 12. Everyone enjoying holidays will appreciate this :-) The Art and Science of SDM is the way to go for genuine patient-centered care and true personalized medicine. So much to learn. So much to translate to practice.

"As we invent the future of healthcare, we must assert that patients are not data clouds, care is not computation, and that to care is human." A call to abolish the business logic of surveillance capitalism taking over healthcare #BMJChristmas www.bmj.com/content/391/...

We must end the commodification of health data by big tech companies, center healthcare on care, and put people back in control of their health information. Excited to share a new article by Juan Montori, Victor Montori, and I published in @bmj.com about the encroachment of Big Tech in healthcare.

This is such a lineup! Bring your science to ISDM2026 - our community of science of care needs to come together in these difficult times. See you all there!!

Guidelines aren't one-size-fits-all. So how do you tailor decisions to the needs of each patient? Join us next Tuesday, October 21 at 4pm Eastern for our free #WorldEBHCDay webinar with Dr. Victor Montori to discuss just that. Register ahead at us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi....

We MUST CARE! Care, a practice by which a human sets out to solve the problematic situation of another human, is replaced by the processing of their data. Care becomes depersonalized, dehumanized, disembodied.“- VM Montori MD.

I think it is time to reaffirm and defend our human dignity. 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧-𝐢𝐧-𝐭𝐡𝐞-𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐩 (1/7)

Wonderful news from the super talented @ranaawdish.bsky.social - go get it!!!!

So #medsky, the secret is out. BIG NEWS!! I am sooo very excited to share my thoughts on healing that truly honors the body’s wisdom and innate healing. I’ve learned so much in the process of writing this. I hope it can be a companion in your journey, as a healer or someone who is seeking healing ❤️‍🩹

A must-read. So much in there about what matters, and how to preserve it. 🙏

A great discussion paper by Montori et al. for @harvard-carr-ryan.bsky.social. They warn that surveillance capitalism is reshaping healthcare into a system focused on data rather than people, enabling Big Tech to commodify human experience and consolidate power: www.hks.harvard.edu/centers/carr...

Trust is central to science based policies + care. Careful + kind care demands mutual trust bw patients & clinicians; bw clinicians & the organizations that set up the material, regulatory, scientific and financial conditions for care. I see you at this timely @patientrevolution.org town hall!

@patientrevolution.org Trust in healthcare in imperative! Join when 3 panelists explore the dynamics of #trustincare; the influences, processes & systemic forces that shape how care is given/received—trust must be earned, not assumed. tinyurl.com/registerTHTr... to register. @vmontori.bsky.social

Best use of “motherfucking” I’ve heard in a long time.

This was too much fun!!! Listen to the episode (there is some great music in it) and find out about our movement for care @patientrevolution.org

Guest Victor Montori's book, "Why We Revolt," decries the Industrialization of #healthcare. Clinicians become busier & patients are tasked with more work to self manage. #medsky 👉 Full episode at bit.ly/GeriPalEp367 😀 Hosts @alexsmithmd.bsky.social | @ewidera.bsky.social 😀 Guest: Victor Montori

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

Interesting article by @vmontori.bsky.social and others. Business schools and accelerators especially teach to focus on niche markets and groups. This has broad consequences and it doesn't take into account the person who will use it! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Adding to this push by @vmontori.bsky.social @ericreinhart.bsky.social Mark Linzer et al to move from burnout to moral injury. We call for more focus on harm to health workers of industrial health care consolidation, disempowered labor, govt austerity policies www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

@allisonpugh.bsky.social has uncovered, thru careful interviewing and analysis of people from all walks of care, what care is: connective labor. , What is the secret of care? Dr. Pugh has found a key piece of the puzzle, essential as we organize to advance careful and kind care for all.

Time-deficiency isn’t new, but industrialized medicine destroys buffers (continuity & morale). Let’s: -restore buffers -enable clinicians and patients to decide what matters -accept there’s not enough time for all guidelines @BMJ_EBM shorturl.at/vyWUg Free: shorturl.at/BifBZ

Our second #CoreGRADE paper is out! This one is on rating certainty and imprecision! Learn about the rigorous making of guidance and key ingredients to clinical decision making @vmontori.bsky.social @bmj.com @magicevidence.bsky.social

Proud to share our latest publication in JAMA Network Open. It demonstrates thatcurrent digital health technologies are not fit for patients with multiple chronic conditions @upcite.bsky.social @cressumr1153.bsky.social @ap-hp.bsky.social @vmontori.bsky.social jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

The burden of digital tools in the care (and self care) of people living with chronic conditions - includes a very nice display of the burden of apps as the number of conditions increases. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
