I'm a primary care physician and medical educator. I like pedestrian safety and classical music. I mostly use this app to lurk but I love you all.

Liked everything about this article, especially this insight, which I think is underappreciated: “Patients are much more likely to accept conservative treatment if they know they can reliably contact the treating clinician.”

Negotiating With Patients About Tests, Referrals, and Treatments
This JAMA Insights discusses how physicians can engage in successful clinical negotiation if a patient requests a test or treatment that is deemed inappropriate, potentially harmful, or low-value.

“Dr. Means… left surgery behind without finishing her training to practice so-called functional medicine… She published a diet and self-help book last year titled ‘Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health.’” Well, this is a red flag factory.

Look at how much they narrow this lane for the pedestrian crossing! Maybe two small cars could pass, but any larger vehicles are going to treat this as a one-at-a-time pinch point. www.google.com/maps/@52.656...

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)
