A great discussion paper by Montori et al. for @harvard-carr-ryan.bsky.social.

They warn that surveillance capitalism is reshaping healthcare into a system focused on data rather than people, enabling Big Tech to commodify human experience and consolidate power:

Priorizar a los pacientes con las mayores necesidades de atención: es hora de que los médicos de familia lideren

por Amanda Niklasson a, Victor M. Montori, Minna Johansson Traducción del original en Am Fam Physician. 2025;111(4):302-303 a Global Center for Sustainable Healthcare, Gothenburg, Sweden, and University of Gothenburg Según una estimación, los médicos de familia tendrían que trabajar 27 horas diarias para seguir las guías de práctica clínica que se aplican a sus pacientes, y más de la mitad de esas horas se dedicarían a la prevención en individuos asintomáticos.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

Time-deficiency isn’t new, but industrialized medicine destroys buffers (continuity & morale). Let’s:
-restore buffers
-enable clinicians and patients to decide what matters
-accept there’s not enough time for all guidelines
