Cool to see @GitCitadel updates on #Alexandria, the base library MedSchlr is being built on. MedSchlr meeting happens tomorrow with students and the team. Excited to keep discussions and the work moving as we build MedSchlr in this early phase of development. View quoted note →
Heartfelt and thoughtful story from @Brian Appavu, MD about doctor-patient care, highlighting an important question: How can healthcare professionals better serve their patients? While private care offers physicians more time for one-on-one patient interaction (as shown in Brian's case), how might patient-centered approaches be implemented within centralized healthcare systems where organizational metrics and incentives often take precedence? 🤔This is an especially important question for centrally funded health care systems. Does change start with physician-led change to more private or home care models? These questions arises from the tension between institutional goals and personalized care. Many practitioners feel constrained by administrative burdens in traditional settings, while patients increasingly seek more meaningful healthcare relationships as noted in Brian’s story. Could alternative payment systems and communication networks like bitcoin and nostr facilitate a more direct patient-provider economic relationship, potentially creating an environment that supports truly personalized healthcare?

At #learningbitcoin in Vancouver during the Decentralized Health panel we talked about the need for new medical and health sciences knowledge commons. This is what MedSchlr is working on. Also, it was mentioned that: 1) some healthcare professionals are already incorporating bitcoin payments into their practice; 2) industry leaders like Sound Health are pioneering bitcoin Health Savings Accounts to empower individuals and their families! Interested to learn more about the practical application of bitcoin in healthcare? Check out the team at Sound Health, they’re putting on an awesome event at the end of the month! View quoted note →
🧠 Ever noticed how we create labels for complex phenomena like "seizures" or "money," then treat these labels as if they're the actual thing? That's reification—mistaking our descriptions for reality. When we say someone "has epilepsy," we're using a concept we created to describe a pattern of brain activity. But the brain doesn't know it's having "epilepsy"—it's just doing what brains do. This mental shortcut limits our understanding in medicine, health sciences, economics, and beyond. How might breaking free from rigid definitions lead to breakthroughs in treatment and prevention approaches? 📚 As we're building MedSchlr, we're particularly interested in content that challenges conventional thinking and supporting individual and community learning. Questioning established frameworks like this can open new pathways to understanding complex medical conditions and health related problems. What other concepts do you think we've reified that might be holding back progress? 🔎 To learn more, check out: @Brian Appavu, MD's video, ‘Reification: The Invisible Spectra Our Words Ignore’: #docchain #bitcoin #asknostr
