Increasingly seeing new nurses enter a system that prioritizes documentation and protocol over critical thinking and compassionate care.
It’s not a lack of heart but the structure they’re trained and forced to work within.
Concerned for the future of truly patient-centered care.

Increased enrollment in nursing schools is on the rise; however, there are not enough qualified nursing faculty to provide the needed education and training.

Canadian Eagle
Canada is home to 55% of the global bald eagle population! Roughly 110,000 of these majestic birds can be found across the country, but especially along the west coast. #Birders, drop your best Canadian bird photo! 🦅🍁

Daily visits to a loved one make one thing crystal clear: exceptional nursing care can transform a patient’s recovery and well-being.
The difference is unmistakable; just as the harmful effects of poor or lazy care become painfully obvious in a patient’s quick decline.
True nursing excellence isn’t optional. It saves lives.
Thank you to all the dedicated nurses who show up with skill, compassion, and integrity every single day.

@DagHammarskjold - having seen the care of nurses daily for a loved one, I believe this quote to be true. Small things matter. Good nurses make a difference.
“Computer-Centred Care” is not a technical glitch. It’s a values and governance failure.
Presence is clinical. Eye contact is therapeutic. Listening is diagnostic.
As an MD and caregiver, I’ve seen the gap between the care some patients receive and the standard they deserve. Some are documented thoroughly, yet experience profound clinical disengagement.
Families and frontline staff see the difference every day. The real question is: does the system?

As a clinician & caregiver, I’m witnessing common sense & critical thinking vanish in healthcare. Builders chase AI metrics & ROI, ignoring empathy, intuition, & holistic care.
We need to think more broadly before adopting these systems. We are already obsessed with screens.

“These things happen.”
That response followed a serious, avoidable error involving my father. What families need in these moments is transparency, empathy, and accountability; not normalization.
Preventable harm should never be routine.
#PatientSafety #MedicalError
Go see your patients, not your screens. 😡
As a caregiver and clinician, it’s staggering how often a sick patient is dismissed because their numbers look “normal”.
Medicine is already too fixated on numbers and cutoffs. AI will only make it worse.
Clinical judgment is a skill we cannot afford to lose.

Repetitive negative thinking is associated with cognitive decline.
Repetition rewires the brain.

People who naturally stay up late may have worse heart health than early risers
But adults who described themselves as night owls, especially women, can minimize risks with healthy lifestyle behaviors. nbcnews.com/health/heart-hea…

"Any system focused on reducing preventable hospitalizations, improving transitions of care, & managing total cost of care cannot do so while ignoring the people performing the bulk of daily care." #caregivers @pts4change @FamilyCarersAB @NightShiftMD medcitynews.com/2026/01/seri…
This is how tech should be used. Kudos to @elonmusk & @neuralink. Let’s prioritize restoring human potential over damaging it with AI manipulation and disinformation.
Congrats to the @Neuralink team for helping many people who have lost use of their body with our Telepathy implant that enables computer use simply by thinking!
The next generation Neuralink cybernetic augment with 3X capability will be ready later this year.
Pending regulatory approval, we are also ready to do our first Blindsight augment that will enable those who have even complete loss of vision to see in low resolution at first, leading to high resolution over time.
