Julia Mason, US pediatrician and co-founder SEGM, interviewed by Benjamin Boyce

[GrinitchSpinach]

Boyce gets on my nerves sometimes but he does often choose excellent interviewees. He also gives most of them plenty of time to express themselves.

For an inside look at the US pediatric situation and apparent institutional capture:

Imo Mason comes across as very warm, ethical, and measured.

I watched this too! It's great. I agree about Mason. Very relatable. Thanks for posting Grinitch

This was such an interesting watch and shows how individual Health professionals really struggle to be heard by the large Organisations who have already made their decisions and just want them to shut up and go away.

I liked the 'eminence based practice' -v- 'evidence based practice' . Eminence or professional expertise is the lowest level of evidence quality - and in this case 'expertise' is very loosely defined.

I also liked how she is clear she doesn't have a general beef with the AAP, she just wants them to do better at what is meant to be their job. - 'I don't want the AAP to die, I just want it to get a clue'

She also highlights that 'peer reviewed' research doesn't really work when you're asking only one group that has been cherry picked to review research.
