The Too-Busy Pile
Every doctor keeps a too-busy pile. For ten years mine held a bladder diary app. This year my medical receptionist and I built it with AI, and neither of us can code. Free, ad-free and anonymous, for any clinician and any patient, anywhere.

I usually lose a week to jetlag. This time I lost a kilogram instead.
For most of my career, I have flown long-haul badly. Three weeks to recover. Two hours of sleep a night for the first week. I had tried everything I knew. This time I put the problem to AI and did exactly what it told me to do. I came back from London without jetlag and a kilogram lighter than when I left. This is what the protocol looked like.
