Thank you for
@KBibbinsDomingo
for the opportunity to talk about AI &
radiology. I’m glad your fondest memories during residency call was talking with the radiologist about clinical uncertainty!
Cardiothoracic radiologist and associate professor of radiology
@Penn
@RogueRad
recently joined JAMA Editor in Chief
@KBibbinsDomingo
to discuss how AI could play a crucial role in improving access to medical imaging in diverse settings.

I told my father, who is a physician in the NHS, & over 70 & has retired or should have retired, to stay at home during the pandemic & just retire. This was his response. Stubborn man

Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. Half of the articles in Annals of Internal Medicine are pushing for gun control. Most upsetting, however, the medical community seems to have consulted NO ONE but themselves.
