We had no way of anticipating how the car would revolutionize the landscape. With it came highways, streets, drunk driving, day trips to the sea, road rage, etc etc. We weren't intentional in how we adopted the car nor how we adopted the EMR. What culture do we intend to create with AI? 10/10

Sorry, but I just don’t believe that creating more medical schools will solve the crisis of primary care. We have to actually address why this job is unsustainable for many practicing docs and unattractive to students and trainees. #fmsky

Legislative commission recommends backing URI medical school • Rhode Island Current
Rhode Island should move forward with a public medical school at the University of Rhode Island (URI), an expensive move but one that could hopefully counteract Rhode Island’s aging and shrinking…

The MMR shot is safe and effective, and there is no credible evidence otherwise.
Breaking MMR into three shots means 3x more copays at the doctor’s office, 3x more hours of missed work, 3x more bummed out kiddos, and probably more than 3x as many kids who aren’t fully vaccinated.
