  16. The Strength It Takes to Suffer
    JAMA Internal Medicine

    “There comes a time when attempts to fix, change, or alter inevitable death poses great harm. Some clinicians think aggressive symptom management, more psychosocial support, or better spiritual care will avoid requests for hastened death. But some suffering is beyond palliation if not accompanied by fundamental respect, autonomy, and freedom of choice."

  17. AMA Panelists Shannon Curtis and Gary Floyd address Augmented or Artificial Intelligence at #AMANAC

    Physicians enthusiastic but cautious about health care AI

    “Physicians are enthusiastic about augmented intelligence (AI)—often called artificial intelligence—and its assistive role in health care that enhances human intelligence rather than replaces it, according to a new physician survey (PDF) by the American Medical Association (AMA).

    However, the survey findings show we are at a critical juncture with an equal number of physicians excited and concerned about the potential for AI.”
