A collaborative reflection by Dr. Jason Chang and Dr. Victoria Ekstrom — “When Pain Becomes Protocol — A Lesson.” ✍️

It is a reminder that even in the most routine parts of care, there is a person in pain who deserves to be seen and heard. ❤️‍🩹🙏👁️👂

We hope it resonates with you. ✨💛

In a world racing ahead with AI 🤖💨, it’s easy to forget: what makes us human isn’t speed, efficiency or good code — it’s empathy, warmth, vulnerability. 💭❤️

In the latest HEART by SDMHI piece, ‘Being Human in This Age of AI’, contributed by Prof William Hwang👤✨, he reminds us that AI should serve as assistant, not author — a tool that augments our humanity, not replaces it. 🛠️🤝

If you, like us, believe that medicine, care, and human connection matter more than automation 🩺🤍, We hope you’ll take 5 min to read and reflect. 💭

Her words capture the timeless heart of medical humanities — the art of healing carried forward.
