What’s even worse is that my entire generation of physicians (I guess I’m senior now in my mid-50s?) have never seen a case of so many of

In February 2025, however, three court-appointed physicians—a neuroradiologist, neuropsychiatrist and professor of neurology—criticized the findings and claimed that the neurosurgeon's use of perfusion CT scanning was against standard medical practice in assessing cognitive function

TIL: "neurophobia": the phenomenon among medical students (and, presumably, trained physicians) in which there is a fear of the neural sciences and clinical neurology as it applies to clinical care.

As in: shun the neuro patient. 🧪

My favs are when physicians publish in leading medical journals (neurology journals for instance) diagnosing FICTIONAL characters with temporal lobe epilepsy or absence seizures or the like. That is not how any of this works.

I agree with this! “Someone with these types of events needs to see a neurologist,” said Dr. Joshua Willey, an associate professor of neurology at the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. “If someone experiences a spell like this, please don’t say, ‘It’s just dehydration’”

The WH released a letter late last night explaining the NYT’s “Parkinson’s expert” Dr. Cannard is the medical unit’s general neurology consultant, and that he’s the neurologist who examined President Biden for his annual physicals. www.washingtonpost.com/documents/ba...
PHYSICIAN TO THE PRESIDENT THE WHITE HOUSE MEMORANDUM FOR: FROM: 8 July 2024 KARINE JEAN-PIERRE ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY KEVIN C. O'CONNOR, D.O., FAAFP PHYSICIAN TO THE PRESIDENT I wanted to share with you background on why Dr. Kevin Cannard visited the White House. To protect patient privacy for the thousands of patients of the White House Medical Unit and the physicians who treat them, normally we do not disclose the names of the specialists we work with. However, in the interests of accuracy, I have obtained permission from the President and Dr. Cannard to confirm the details I am sharing. Dr. Cannard has been the Neurology Consultant to the White House Medical Unit since 2012. He was chosen for his breadth of experience and expertise across the specialty of Neurology. Prior to his Movement Disorders fellowship at Emory University, he had practiced as a general neurologist for six years. He is the longest serving Neurologist at Walter Reed National The results of this year's exam were detailed in my February 28th letter: "An extremely detailed neurologic exam was again reassuring in that there were no findings which would be consistent with any cerebellar or other central neurological disorder, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's or ascending lateral sclerosis, nor are there any signs of cervical myelopathy. This exam did again support a finding of peripheral neuropathy in both feet. No motor weakness was detected. He exhibits no tremor, either at rest or with activity. He demonstrates excellent fine motor dexterity. But a subtle difference in heat/cold sensation could be elicited as it was last year. This heat/cold sensation deficit was detected a couple of inches higher on his ankle/calf this year, which is not unexpected. There may, in fact, be day to day subjective variation of these findings, as during last year's exam, this area of sensation deficit was actually found to be smaller than the year before." Seeing

Oh, no doubt. I'm just saying that the crossover is much greater than for physicians. I, for instance, used to practice in both family law and criminal law, whereas I don't think that you'd find a lot of docs who would handle nephrology and neurology.

An editorial in the journal Frontiers in Neurology makes the case for embracing and accelerating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, including neurology. What do you think? Let us know below. ⬇️ #AI #Neurology

📰 Article DOI: doi:10/pjhz
Future Technology: AI could potentially benefit neurology, considering recent advances in neural architectures, large-scale datasets, standardized open-source computing resources, and more. Applications: Identifying biomarkers, leveraging datasets, predictive modeling of disease symptoms, improved imaging, seizure detection and forecasting, intelligent documentation, enhanced doctor-patient communication, clinical note generation, simplification of complex medical language, and more. "Ultimately, the integration of AI alongside physicians' clinical expertise promises to usher in a new era of neurology, defined by greater precision and more personalized care", said Doctors Alkawadri, Hills, and Asano. What's next? The authors contend that collaborating with tech industries and venture capital on AI could advance neurology faster than traditional academic funding—if agility is balanced with regulatory and ethical considerations.
