Asking Bard And ChatGPT To Find The Best Medical Care, I Got Truth And Truthiness
BY MICHAEL MILLENSON If you ask ChatGPT how many procedures a certain surgeon does or a specific hospital’s infection rate, the OpenAI and Microsoft chatbot inevitably replies with some version of, “I don’t do that.” But depending upon how you ask, Google’s Bard provides a very different response, even recommending a “consultation” with particular clinicians. Bard told me how many knee replacement surgeries were performed by major Chicago hospitals in 2021, their infection rates and the national average. It even told me which Chicago surgeon does the most knee surgeries and his infection rate. When I...

Why is being a patient a difficult pill to swallow?
While being treated for an aggressive hematologic cancer, the former head of a department of medicine at a large teaching hospital told me he wished he could hang a sign on his headboard, reading P-I-P: Previously-Important-Person. Despite extraordinary achievements, skills, credentials, and status, being a patient made him feel like an amalgam of parts; limbs, Read more… Why is being a patient a difficult pill to swallow? originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

A glimpse into the fragile balance of life and death in the ICU
It was a calm and quiet night in the ICU during my rotation when suddenly, the piercing sound of a code blue alarm filled the air. An elderly female patient, 66 years old, had come in earlier with lung clots due to ovarian cancer. She was on the other side of the hospital, and as Read more… A glimpse into the fragile balance of life and death in the ICU originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Nursing the Nation and the World
Nurses are everywhere. They are legion. The ubiquitous nurse is present in the care of children, the elderly, the disabled, and the dying. Nurses don ' t shy away from responsibility — they embrace it. Nurses run towards the metaphorical fire. Just as firefighters rush into burning buildings and police officers run towards the active shooter, nurses don their gloves and deal with the sputum, the blood, the pus, the emesis, the feces, and the urine — body fluids be damned, th ere ' s work to do and nurses do it. The Ubiquitous NurseWhere would the country be without nurses? Without nurses, the healthcare system wou...

A Tribute to Casey Quinlan – Advocate and Renaissance Woman
On Tuesday April 25th 2023, the world lost a bright flame. After a long journey with cancer, Casey Quinlan @MightyCasey passed away peacefully with family and friends by her side. Quinlan was one-of-a-kind and if you had the good fortune of meeting her in-person or interacted with her online, she undoubtedly left an impression. She was one of the few people who had zero qualms about speaking her mind – and that is one of reasons why I admired her. Outspoken Advocate I got to know Quinlan through the early #hcldr tweetchats that we hosted (and still host) on Tuesday nights at 8:30pm ET. At the time, I had never seen someo...

Approaching a Half-Century of Life With Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)
On July 24, 2023, I will mark 47 years of having lived with autoimmune Type 1 diabetes (T1D). I was diagnosed as a seven year old, so not quite fifty years ago, but much closer than I ever really anticipated. When I was diagnosed in 1976, no one told me that I should expect horrific complications or that I ' d die young because threats weren ' t part of the conversation; some may have been due to my age. But there was also no such thing as a certified diabetes educator in 1976; instead, pediatric nurses instructed patients on how to give themselves an injection. In fact, scientists had only proven that Type 1 diabetes h...

HIMSS Takeaways: Size Doesn ’t (Always) Count, Johnny Appleseed and MomGPT
By MICHAEL L. MILLENSON Live and in-person once again, HIMSS 2023 attracted more than 30,000 attendees to the exhibit halls and meeting rooms of Chicago’s sprawling McCormick Place. Although no one person could possibly absorb it all, below are some harbingers of the health care future that stayed with me. Size Doesn’t Count. Exploring the remote byways of the cavernous exhibition areas, it became clear that it’s not the size of the booth, but the impact of the product that counts. At a pavilion highlighting Turkish companies, for instance, R. Serdar Gemici stood in front of a kiosk that might fit into a walk-i...

50 year old with acute chest pain, with ‘normal’ ECG and falling troponin
Written by Jesse McLaren, with comments from SmithA 50-year old patient on the medical wards developed acute chest pain, with an ECG labeled (see computer interpretation at the top) and confirmed as normal. What do you think? There ’s normal sinus rhythm, normal conduction, normal axis, normal R wave progression, and normal voltages. Lead aVL jumps out as abnormal because there is a discordant T wave inversion and mild ST depression. This is reciprocal to inferior mild ST elevation and hyperacute T waves (wide based, bulky, and symmetric, and in III taller than the QRS complex), and adjacent to ST depression in...

Fast Facts about Medicare and Social Security
Romina Boccia and Dominik LettMedicare and Social Security are the two largest federal government programs that are also growing the fastest. They are fiscally unsustainable as currently structured. Medicare consists of four parts which provide inpatient care (Part A), outpatient care (Part B), prescription drug coverage (Part D), and subsidies for seniors to choose alternative health insurance providers through Medicare Advantage (Part C). Social Security consists of Old Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) and Disability Insurance (DI). For the purposes of this fact sheet, Social Security will refer to OASI only. This fact...
