Research suggests “excessive and thoughtless engagement with chatbots can lead to deleterious cognitive effects”, writes Nick Kabrél, but that is mostly because of how we use them. If we use them more strategically, they can make us smarter: buff.ly/rToGYH5

Lead with trauma-informed, dignity-first care: clarify the patient’s priorities and take the time to build a trusting relationship. @drkopacz.bsky.social @soulinmedicine.bsky.social #MedSky tinyurl.com/56wb4k27

Starting the examination, the doctor must have in mind not only the abdomen area, but also the patient as a whole; he whom the doctors, unfortunately, call usually “a case” @drkopacz.bsky.social @upf.edu @asomega.es @closler.bsky.social @drgavinfrancis.bsky.social

To build an exceptional care team: foster psychological safety, model humility, and solicit input from every person. Daily rituals of respect can sustain excellent patient care. @panagis.bsky.social #MedSky closler.org/lifelong-lea...

I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

Colorado River Indian Tribes may grant personhood rights to 'living' river. "...we see it from a different perspective," she said. "Who uses the water and how much it's about protecting this river." www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

When discussing vaccines with patients, start with curiosity. Try saying, “Tell me more about what you’re thinking” to discover their specific concerns. @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social @scottgottliebmd.bsky.social @celinegounder.com @vinguptamd.bsky.social #MedSky tinyurl.com/ysvv5rnm

@go4know.com Thanks for reposting

You don't get to wage war against your own country and expect a Nobel Peace Prize.

BREAKING: Maria Corina Machado wins Nobel Peace Prize

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless. And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Thanks @drkopacz.bsky.social

Thanks to @drgavinfrancis.bsky.social for this excellent article in @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social “Hope is the golden promise of every therapeutic encounter “ @drkopacz.bsky.social @chris6572.bsky.social

"You are someone else’s hope. Hope isn’t abstract—it’s the belief that change is possible, that even in the darkest moments there’s a way forward."

When the path is gray, reach out to your ethics committee for perspective. They help clarify options and provide guidance, which can improve communication with patients, families, and colleagues. @drberger.bsky.social @bermaninstitute.bsky.social #MedSky tinyurl.com/sv2sj2v4

Health care is a right for every human being @drkopacz.bsky.social
