This "anti expert" sentiment is nothing new
Isaac Asimov clocked it in 1980
Read it here first! @AmerMedicalAssn sells JAMA to #privateequity, @realDonaldTrump #healthcarereform plan covers $100/day of med expenses & post-Musk HHS agency combo known as ABCDEFFF. All wrong - but amusing. #healthpolicy @jrovner @petridishes @politico
It's time for some relevant 2025 predictions. Here's @MLMillenson's Totally Wrong Expert Predictions

Original source material is clear: Abuses by doctors and hospitals led to insurers' clout over coverage. Which doesn’t excuse absues by #healthinsurers or providers. Or violence. chicagotribune.com/2024/12/2… @wendellpotter @lowninstitute @KFFHealthNews @ryansolsten

December 1992: engineer Neil Papworth sent the first recorded SMS text message, ‘Merry Christmas,’ via the Vodafone network to the phone of a colleague! #ThrowbackThursday #mwc25
Can't get new @HisenseUSA TV to detect TV channels or soundbar. Much time, tech person couldn't solve. She gives up, says supervisor will call back "today or tomorrow" (!) takes my email & phone. And that's the last I heard. #customerservice

Men, ready for that special finger insertion? Also does breast exams. And you thought #DigitalHealth just meant an app. #prostatehealth #breastexam #MedicalAI

Is the medical establishment ready for #PatientsUseAI as part of #MedicalAI & #DigitalHealth? See: “Medical Journal Webinar Shows Ambivalence On AI, Patient Partnership” #BeLikeLight @BeLikeLight @HugoOC @NEJM_AI @forbes forbes.com/sites/michaelmill…
Politics drives #healthpolicy, so pay attn to issues invisible at #DNC & #RNC, like #Medicaid, #hospitalprices, #claimsdenials, #medicalerror. Also invisible, big donor influence. I look at @UnitedHealthGrp @OpenSecretsDC @wendellpotter via @forbes forbes.com/sites/michaelmill…

d @BretStephen_NYT Libs, moderates don’t see how mainstream conservative media enable Trump. @WSJ editorial 7-22-24 criticizes convention speech tone, ignores untrue election claims. Ditto “Reich” usage. Or’ threats of “civil war.” Post-Jan 6, chilling.
"Let us pause to remember the lemonade stands of our youth on a summer day." A wonderful history & tribute from the talented @rickkogan chicagotribune.com/2024/07/0…
#Patientempowerment revolution needed doctors like Spock, Katz, Ellwood, Wennberg & others. The fight continues @S4PM @BeLikeLight @BMJPatientEd @pfps_us @garyschwitzer @donberwick
Fabulous article from @MLMillenson in which he lays out the history of physicians who have helped patients declare their "independence". The patient movement has depended on some giants helping make medicine participatory.
