Congratulations Dr Maria Dahm on being selected as a 2024 ACT Young Tall Poppy!
Dr Dahm's research is investigating how doctors communicate with patients while searching for a diagnosis, especially when they're uncertain about a diagnosis.

Congratulations to @DrMaryDahm on receiving an ACT Tall Poppy Science Award!
"For me, this recognition is a great opportunity to raise awareness about the crucial role communication plays in healthcare, particularly during diagnosis and in mitigating the risk of misdiagnosis."

"Sometimes it takes a bit of time to get a diagnosis. We don't always have the time in ED. "
I am back to coding clinician interviews about diagnosis, process and uncertainty in the Emergency Department and turning quotes into AI Art

“I think it’s all in her head.” Someone new on my team said about a patient.
I don’t talk sternly much at work, because I don’t believe in scolding people. But this time I said:
“We do NOT talk like that about patients anymore. Especially if you’d like to work on my team.”

Today in interview quotes turned AI Art:
"I think doctors like a hard and fast. 'This is what it is. We can see it on a scan. It is an appendicitis, it is a...'. "
What if a scan doesn't give you a diagnosis? Are some specialist better at this than others?

"I think as an emergency doctor, you have to be able to cope with uncertainty in your job, otherwise you go mad."
Another Interview quote turned AI art.
How well do you deal with uncertainty as a doctor or a patient?
