Like I know he went to jail for a bit - but I wonder where he is in life now or what he's doing.

What is the level of concern here around AI in radiation oncology?

There have been a number of reports that radiation oncology is at a level of saturation, although this may be overblown.

My prediction is that AI may offer some efficiency gains to radiation oncologists. It will take away from the boring tasks - contouring, documentation, and image review. It may also benefit in treatment planning. Given a lot of the work is software heavy in rad onc with a good amount of procolization I'd argue radiation oncology is likely to benefit from efficiency gains more than other specialties.

With more efficiency, I suspect radiation oncologists will earn be able to see more patients and earn more. However, as a single rad onc becomes able to see more patients, we will also likely need fewer radiation oncologists.

Wanted to ask the group - what do you think will happen with AI in this field? Will it be a net positive for radiation oncologists? How will this impact the job market in the field?

like no way bro couldn’t do this for a video

also it would go super viral? like imagine the media attention? that alone would be worth it for him imo even if he did part of LA

every now and again it’ll start playing in my brain on loop

anyone else noticing a dramatic uptick on the quality of the Lud content we’re getting lately? Like it’s been pretty consistent bangers for a minute now

They keep saying he’s going to Sweden but what does this mean for the yard?

Like is the yard going to end? Are they going to replace him?

I’m not sure what else I’m going to listen to on my drive to work.

I'm a bit confused. The news media has always shown me that the average Israeli is sympathetic to Palestinians and do not agree with everything the government is doing in Gaza.

However, I've had a few people tell me now that they feel Palestinians are essentially all equivalent to Hamas or that Gaza holds collective responsibility?

Without you our work would not be possible. Wanted to send some love.

All in two pair got crushed by a straight.

It's over :(

A model of care that appears to be substituting nurse practitioner level training with less educated nurses. The idea is that they do the "simple visits" so the NP doesn't have to.

Seems to be making RNs take NP level decisions while being less knowledgable nurses. The NP is still liable as the supervising authority.

NP never sees a lot of these patients. To make medication decisions, seems like they just get a task in their inbox (as if there needed to be more) and lean on whatever the FPN documented. But really seems like a headache since you can probably glean more info yourself and you know what to ask?

Seems like another way PE and big corporations are trying to reduce costs. The argument seems to be that it "saves the NP time" but really probably more work as an NP and the patients you do see are sicker and sicker.

Saw an NP discussing this on r/medicine and thought there may be some good insights here.

I feel like the cap on residency spots will ultimately never go away. There's no reason to produce more physicians when you can replace them entirely with a non-physician group which is cheaper to hire.

This is likely of no surprise to most people given the supersaturation of the field with midlevel providers, with there already being almost as many PMHNPs as psychiatrists.

This issue will continue to get worse with there being an over 26% oversupply of NPs relative to the demand by 2028 and an oversupply of over 75% by 2038.

There will continue to be substitution effects. This issue has not even fully reached half of US states yet worsens every year with expansion of full practice authority. It is time to act. Join the AMA, APA and Physicians for Patient Protection if you have not already. Raise your voice about these things to your representatives, your State Psychiatric Society, and the APA.

The statistics I keep seeing suggest average psychiatry compensation is going up every year.

Why is psychiatry compensation going up? Does this average increase in compensation match the reality on the ground? Is it likely to continue to increase - or will psychiatry compensation likely plummet in coming years as we see substitution with lower cost, less rigorous education models as opposed to collaborative care?
