Presenting complaint: use of language that disempowers patients
Language is important. It is a vehicle for sharing knowledge and understanding, and a means by which we can express and communicate our values to others. In a medical context, language does more than transfer information between patients and healthcare providers—it has the potential to shape therapeutic relationships. Indeed, specific word choices and phrases affect how patients view their health and illness, reflect healthcare workers’ perceptions of their patients, and influence medical care and treatments offered. Language in medical narratives also shapes how trainees think, talk, and act, perpetuating any ingrained biases.

Quebec language reform could lead to "medical errors, even deaths"
A group of doctors and professionals is asking that the health and social services network be excluded from Quebec’s plans to reform language laws with Bill 96.
The Coalition for Quality Health and Social Services (CSSSQ) says it is concerned about the harmful effects the law could have because of the obligation to speak in French to newcomers who may have limited knowledge of the language.
In an open letter published on Wednesday, the CSSSQ says the current version of the bill "could put people's lives at risk or have negative impacts on mental health if implemented."

A surprising cause of healthcare worker burnout: tech
Whether you’re a techie or a bit of a Luddite, it’s hard to argue that in some cases, at least, technology can make things easier. In the medical field, everything from innovations in treatment and prevention, to using AI to reduce the burden of mundane tasks like billing and record-keeping, should be making things easier for patients and health professionals alike.
