    So I created an entire med school using AI. It started out as a joke with my friends, but just grew and grew into something that still astonishes me in its depth and breadth. I call it the Hibbert School of Medicine. Check it out at hibbertmed.com

    Who says AI can't create an entire medical school?
    About 15 years ago, my buddy and I wanted to create a free online open-access, open-source medical school. It would have needed hundreds of thousands of dollars and dozens of staff. We applied and...

    I have a feeling that, when all the living and dead are accounted for, this will likely be one of the greatest crimes in history.

    My own annual Christmas tradition: working a shift in the ER so that those who celebrate can be home with their families. Merry Christmas everyone! #teamHinduJewishMuslim's got this tonight!

    If you're an adult without kids and don't think this hospital crisis affects you, think again. In the ER, if we had to choose between an adult with a heart attack, or a 6 month old struggling to breathe for our last critical care bed, the baby will get that bed every single time

    It seems a lot of American can't conceive why Canadians are not so eager to join the union. I'll give you a few reasons: - We love our country, just you like you love yours. Things can always be better, but this will always be our home and native land. - The climate sucks,

    Masks are the norm in Mexico, as any recent visitor to that country will tell you. They didn't make it a political issue, they didn't throw an extended tantrum like we did in the West. There isn't even an official mandate in place...

    The world's elite at the Davos forum are enjoying every possible protection from Covid, including PCR testing, air filtration, UVGI light. Why isn't this being offered to everyone else? Every school, every workplace should have the same protections as the rich and powerful.

    This is amazing, France is going to require clean air in classrooms, aiming at CO2 levels of 800 ppm. Other countries should quickly follow suit. Aside from limiting Covid, just the benefits of lowering common respiratory viruses makes this worth it alone, as any parent knows.

    The fastest man in the world was cheated out of a gold medal today. I don't blame Noah Lyles for running (and later collapsing) while sick with Covid. What failed him is the system around him that should have protected him and all the other Olympic athletes. Lyles even wore a

    Celebrating a whole school year where kiddo did not get Covid even once. School is so well ventilated, you feel a chill from the airflow from all the filters. As a result, we didn't get sick, we didn't miss a day of work, we didn't get Long Covid, we kept older family members

    What's crazy is Canada had the merit-based immigration system that the US tech-right wants for America. It was a model for the world. Just enough to grow the economy, not enough to cause social unrest. Trudeau wrecked it by inviting 3m people all at once. This is one of the
