Why psychiatric overdiagnosis fails the students who suffer
On June 29, 2026, psychologist Adam Omary published a landmark observation in the Boston Globe, titled “The disability accommodation trap on college campuses.” As he observed: “It was well-intentioned when the Americans with Disabilities Act was amended in 2008 to include mental health conditions and learning disabilities as eligible for accommodations. But in practice, it created incentives for overdiagnosis.
What’s actually behind medical students using AI [PODCAST]
Subscribe to The Podcast by KevinMD. Watch on YouTube. Catch up on old episodes! Medical students who skip writing their own reflections are not lazy, they are surviving an irrational system. Kathleen Muldoon, a coach and professor, returns to discuss what student AI use in medical education actually reveals about the curriculum, the hidden incentives behind it, and why she calls students in instead of catching them.
Recording medical visits is your legal right
Patients are not guests in their own medical care. Their bodies are examined, their symptoms interpreted, their diagnoses explained, their treatment risks discussed, their consent sought, and their lives affected by the plan that follows. Yet when patients try to lawfully document those care conversations, they are too often treated as if they are doing something improper. They are told they are “not allowed” to record. They are told it violates office policy. They are told HIPAA prevents it.
Social determinants of health belong in medical school
There is so much going on in the world right now, which is precisely why I want to talk about a TV show. Not for escapism. Because this particular show is doing something that medical schools across the country are now being required to stop doing. The Pitt won Outstanding Drama Series at the 2025 Emmys. Season 2 just aired its finale. Season 3 is already confirmed.
A medical school experience that redefined providing care
My first experience of “providing care” did not unfold as I had imagined: after years of training, thoroughly studying everything there is to know about the human body, and being perfectly prepared to care for someone. Instead, it began quietly, with a white coat and a stethoscope that fit about as comfortably as my pseudo-physician identity, that is, to all of my friends not in medicine.
How AI improves clinical reasoning for medical students
“The eyes only see what the brain knows.” A patient said this to me recently, and it stopped me in my tracks. He was reflecting on his own experience in the medical system: the many physicians he had seen for the same problems, and the various different diagnoses he had received.
When what’s in the envelope doesn’t match what you expected [PODCAST]

Kathleen Muldoon is a coach and medical educator with 20 years of experience partnering with medical students through some of training’s most high-stakes moments.
How medical malpractice cases reveal health care system flaws
Again, I must discuss two cases of medical malpractice which I feel best demonstrate the quagmire our health care system finds itself in. One is . It follows that this case also has a merit of only 33.48 percent. Nevertheless, there is a legal strategy that tips the scale by not permitting testimony discussing conditions occurring in another country, where the first 17 weeks of fetal development occurred because, if the patient’s immigration history is known, it may be prejudicial.
How corporate health care ruined the medical profession
In the golden days of practicing medicine, the hospitals’ boards were composed of community leaders acting on behalf of the hospitals to raise funds, negotiate insurance contracts, screen and supervise the performance of the key employees, and interact with the government. They used their passion and influence to facilitate the delivery of health care to the communities they served. Most of these board members were volunteers or philanthropists.
Silence isn’t neutrality: Why medical students can’t wait to find their voice [PODCAST]
Subscribe to The Podcast by KevinMD. Watch on YouTube. Catch up on old episodes! What happens when medical students witness dehumanization during clinical rotations but feel too powerless to speak up? Kathleen Muldoon, a certified coach and professor in medical education, joins the show to unpack why moral courage is a skill you can practice right now, not something to defer until you hold a title.

Bayesian reasoning in health care: When to refuse medical tests
I was diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). The diagnosis was not surprising. I had experienced several brief but intense episodes of vertigo, sudden, disorienting sensations that made it difficult to remain upright. During one episode, I slumped against a bookcase. I did not lose consciousness, but the event was concerning enough that my physician suggested enhanced head and neck MRIs to rule out vascular causes. I have no fear of MRI machines.

Deprescribing in health care: Why less medication can be more
Every day, millions of Americans take medications to manage chronic conditions or prevent disease. Prescription drugs are vital tools in modern medicine, but in some circumstances, they can also lead to serious adverse drug interactions, diminished quality of life, and even life-threatening complications. This is a complex issue with high stakes for patients. Older adults, in particular, are often prescribed multiple drugs by different doctors for different reasons.
Why medical students need health care economics
These days, it is not uncommon to hear complaints from doctors, nurses, and other clinical staff about policies made by “higher-ups.” Stories of physician burnout, frustration with appointment time limits, and dissatisfaction with policy changes are all too familiar.

DIY: Bring your holiday home
We come home and fill our homes with the memories, photos and souvenirs gathered from the time away. But, when holidays aren’t possible, for whatever reason, you can still cost effectively recreate the relaxed vibes and inspiring locations of your holiday at home. The trick, when starting to pull a relaxed holiday look together, is to think carefully about the holiday feeling you want in your home, rather than recreating a holiday destination or a particular look.
See inside this Long Bay home with sweeping views of Hauraki Gulf
You can’t miss the house at the end of a Long Bay close – it’s 652sqm. Newly finished for Djohan and Herlina Marzuki and Herlina’s 93-year-old mother, the exterior is mostly aluminium cladding, with some Alexandra stone used as a feature. Once inside though, this Long Bay home is broken into smaller, more manageable living spaces that flow seamlessly between spaces within the two wings, explains Landmark’s Jarrod Angove, who built the house for the couple.

Investigating the sources of variable impact of pathogenic variants in monogenic metabolic conditions - Nature Communications
Abstract Over three percent of people carry a dominant pathogenic variant, yet only a fraction of carriers develop disease. Disease phenotypes from carriers of variants in the same gene range from mild to severe. Here, we investigate underlying mechanisms for this heterogeneity: variable variant effect sizes, carrier polygenic backgrounds, and modulation of carrier effect by genetic background (marginal epistasis).

How Hayley-Marie Bushby hopes to defeat her paralysis
For Hayley-Marie Bushby nothing compares to the feeling of paragliding – running as fast as she can, leaping off a mountaintop and soaring through the air as if she’s flying. “Once you’re up there, you can sit back, relax and look around, like, ‘Holy heck, this view is amazing’ and realise you’re in the sky with just a piece of material and a string,” enthuses the 29-year-old Cantabrian.
Boxing Day tsunami remembered: 'We wouldn't let the wave win'
The sky was blue, people lay on sunloungers and 16-year old Paul Giardina was at his absolute happiest playing ball in the pool with his dad Joe. “Paul loved holidays and that first day in Phuket was unfolding exactly as we had expected,” Joe, now 67, tells Woman’s Day. Paul had Down Syndrome and people knew him as the “Love Machine” because of his affectionate nature. He had travelled from Melbourne with his parents, Joe and Evanna, to the Thai resort town at the end of 2004.

Ibrahem's chicken paradise: "They're so clucky!"

Judge Jay-Jay helps a dog mum with an intrusive mother in law
Dear Jay-Jay, I’m a dog mum. My evenings and weekends used to be spent taking little Molly to our favourite beach spots, chilling on the couch and making the most of our time together. However, my partner and I recently moved in with his retired parents to try to save some money… They’re incredibly generous for allowing us to stay, they absolutely love Molly, and we’re saving so much on dog walkers and doggy daycare. The problem is, I feel like they’ve taken ownership of Molly.

27 Contemporary Midcentury Modern Furniture Ideas That Don’t Cost a Fortune
Design is cyclical. Once-popular movements often find their way back into mainstream trends, and midcentury modern furniture is one of the styles experiencing an unparalleled resurgence in popularity. Emerging during post-war America in the mid-1940s, the design movement is defined by clean lines, a somewhat futurist aesthetic, and an emphasis on functionality—think earthy wood tones, sleek lines and organic shapes, and leather and plywood textures.
