We all die eventually. This patient helped me realize that when my time comes, I'll be fortunate if MAiD is an option. And I will always be thankful to her, her family, and a very skilled colleague for helping me appreciate just how good a “good death” can be. / end

An interesting article about big data and science: How big data has created a big crisis in science theconversation.com/how-big-…

How big data has created a big crisis in science

Science is in a reproducibility crisis. This is driven in part by invalid statistical analyses that happen long after the data are collected – the opposite of how things are traditionally done.

A national electronic health record for primary care. Thanks @navpersaud for articulating this call so clearly. It matters for care, it matters for research, and in rural areas, it matters for locum supports who have to learn EMR after EMR. cmaj.ca/content/191/2/E28

Should #AI need to explain how it got to right ans if it's right 99% of time? @neuraltheory says we don't need to understand HOW an algorithm has reached a diagnosis, but we have a RIGHT to understand WHY it was made & its relevance to our condition & life #YouAndAI @royalsociety
