Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said the settlement will also require the hospital to pay a $10 million fine and revoke medical privileges of doctors.

    Software is now medicine—and proprietary code is putting profit before patient safety.

  14. Who or what do we blindly trust with our #health? 🤔

    White Coats or Black Boxes?

    Some thoughts on AI, medicine, human judgment, and how #AI could help us think more instead of less.

    Reflections from a conversation with #healthcare leaders on trust, transparency, and who really benefits from AI in #medicine

    I grew up in a world where you didn't question your doctor. You didn't ask about lab results. You didn't research your medications. "Doctor's orders" was gospel.

    My grandmother never saw her own test results. She wouldn't have known what to do with them anyway.

    We like to think we've evolved past that. But have we? Or have we just traded blind trust in white coats for blind trust in #algorithms?

    That's the question that kept surfacing in my head after this Expert Panel Discussion I hosted with Sean Martin, CISSP and an extraordinary group of people:

    Dr. Robert Pearl, M.D. (former CEO, The Permanente Medical Group, Inc.)

    Robert Havasy (HIMSS)

    John Sapp Jr (Texas Mutual Insurance Company)

    Jim St. Clair (Altarum)

    Robert Booker (HITRUST)

    We gathered to discuss AI in healthcare. What emerged was something deeper: a reckoning with how we've always delegated medical decisions—and whether AI might actually force us to become smarter, more analytical, more inquisitive about our own health.

    Here's my theory: AI doesn't have to make us dumber. It could make us think more, not less. But only if we choose to engage. Only if we demand transparency. Only if we resist trading one form of blind trust for another.

    400,000 people die annually from misdiagnoses in America. That's not AI failure—that's human failure we've learned to accept.

    The question isn't whether AI will transform healthcare. It already is.

    The question is: Will we finally start asking questions?

    About our doctors AND our algorithms?

    Then tell me—what kind of trust are we building? Who benefits? Who bears the risk?

    Let's keep exploring what it means to be human in this Hybrid Analog Digital Society.

  15. While waiting for the doctor to come in, I happened to get up and look at a flyer about DAX Copilot. It's an AI system from Microsoft that listens in on your medical conversation and helps transcribe it.

    Needless to say, FUCK THAT. Luckily, my particular doctor doesn't use it, so I didn't have to start with a fight and could have an actual conversation with him.
