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.

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...

An important article: GRADE method for guidelines simplified: the overview of Core GRADE!! now out on @bmj.com www.bmj.com/content/389/... @kamranabbasi.bsky.social @thomasagoritsas.bsky.social

GRADE guidance has gotten too complex and disorganized. Core GRADE offers its essentials in a 7-article series. This is the intro paper to the series. Hopefully more guidelines can offer more trustworthy recommendations.

Core GRADE was developed to provide the essentials of the GRADE approach in a single series of papers @bmj.com www.bmj.com/content/389/...

Come over and say hi if you are around. It would be lovely to chat about our movement for care in healthcare (join patientrevolution.org). I’ll be speaking at the Sommer Memorial Lectures in Portland OR May 1-2 2025 www.ohsu.edu/school-of-me...

What makes people healthy? Strong welfare systems. What kills people? Dismantling public care systems. New NEJM analysis: “Survival in the wealthiest U.S. quartile appeared to be similar to that in the poorest quartile in northern and western Europe.” www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

After enough months in the studio to rival the recording of Tusk, my 2020 novel Malcharist, a literary thriller about psychotropics, medical ghostwriting and the collapse of magazines, is finally out as an audiobook. It’s pretty good! Links here: pauljohnscott.com

I had the privilege to work at AHRQ as a senior advisor for 4 years. I met remarkable civil servants who drove progress in research about what works and how to get it to everyone who needs it. (Disclosure: AHRQ has funded some our research) 1/5 #medsky

This is an important article for anyone in the business of supporting people making decisions. When considering alternative courses of action, people often start by laying out the options. Then, they review the pros/cons of each one. Think the famous scene in The Matrix (blue or red pill bit).

Genuinely beautiful mass political movements start from and continue to prioritize the smallest scale of daily life. They begin with our own practices of self, of friendship, of interpersonal care, and of creativity. Don't dismiss or neglect the value of the small and the slow.

Every post on Bluesky should defend the first amendment. Protest is speech and speech is protected. Disappearing a person - regardless of whether one agrees with their speech - is unacceptable. Every post should say this until the violation stops. Nothing is more important.

If the caprice of the despot demands that one of us be taken away, would you keep your head down and recommend that others do the same? Or would you gather up and rise up because we are one? Is sitting still in silence in screensaver mode how we prevail? Or is solidarity our liberating superpower?

Anyone praising the arrest and potential deportation of Mr. Khalil, a permanent resident of the United States, on the whim of the president, with no due process, is a fellow traveler with authoritarianism and fascism. I don't care what you think about Israel, about Gaza. You are a friend to despots.

At a time of cruelty towards those who show up to give and receive care, the professional duty of healthcare professionals is to stand for careful and kind care for all. How might our organizations - associations, boards, unions- see beyond self interest and lead care activism we urgently need?

This is on #Trump #Musk #Vought #Rubio.

Corruption in healthcare. This is why we revolt.

Important international and rigorous perspective on moral injury and burnout in healthcare professionals. journals.lww.com/hcmrjournal/... Not only does it summarize the evidence needed to spur urgent action in the short term…

Understanding care, or @allisonpugh.bsky.social connective labor, is prerequisite to automating,replacing,or even “augmenting” it. Care isn’t a list of actions to be allocated to bots or systems. To care is human.

“Everything is on fire, but everyone I love is doing beautiful things and trying to make life worth living, and I know I don’t have to believe in everything, but I believe in that.” TY @anetto.bsky.social + Victor Montori quoting poet Nikita Gill. So appropriate across my world right now.

Worth the read: open.substack.com/pub/jpmontor...

Caregivers unite! Against cruelty and the cruel exclusion of any persons from care. Fear bites your tongue until you learn that you have no voice. Caregivers speak up for your patients! Let’s find our collective courage and stand up for care.

“There are three elements that fuel our fulfillment: relationships, service, and purpose (but) many of the messages coming at us tell us to prioritize a different triad, the triad of success: fame, wealth, and power.” https://people.com/surgeon-general-vivek-murthy-americans-closing-letter-rethink-…
