But perhaps worse than that is the fact that attacking "late term abortions" is a tactic to eventually ending ALL abortion in Canada.

There is NO DOUBT that this is the anti-abortion playbook. We have seen this tactic successfully used internationally and we can't allow it into our politics here.

Of course, if you know even the first thing about late 2nd and 3rd trimester abortions, it will be obvious that these procedures are primarily done for medical reasons.

It's never the situation a pregnant person wants to be in, and politicizing that is a cruelty that deserves scorn and disgust.

This long-time, cynical attempt to split off *some* abortions as bad is an old tactic and gets trotted out in the Canadian example to argue that we have "no limits" on abortion.

The idea is to create a dystopian horror story where legions of healthy fetuses are being culled right before birth.

And I don't see AI solving this ☝️

I think there also need to be less admin and medicolegal tasks downloaded to family doctors. It's truly a shit rolls downhill situation. Employers, insurers, and bureaucrats could send us fewer demands for pointless paperwork, but they never will (voluntarily).

I wish I could afford that.

I think this probably comes from the use of actual human scribes, who not only write notes, they prepared requisitions, referral letters, etc.

Yet these AI note writers are also called "scribes" even though they only do the transcription and none of the other useful scribe functions.

Lol, yes, but in practice the attending often just writes: "Agree" below the trainee's note. 🙃

Exactly. Every ad I see is about not taking your work home and charting after the kids are in bed etc etc.

Ughhhh

Veterinarian here: I spend a LOT of time editing ultrasound reports now that I did not need to spend when my scribe app was new.

When it was just bad writing style (e.g."the liver revealed. . ." Did it? Like a magician?) that was OK.

Now it's "helping" with differential diagnoses.

No thanks!

Strongly disagree. AI scribes are consistently sold as time savers that will allow us to see more patients and spend less time writing notes after the appointment. It's not about charting during the appointment or looking at the patient.
