At the Wildix Partner Day in Venice, Italy, Technology Reseller News Publisher Doug Green sat down with Steve Osler, CEO of Wildix, to discuss how the company is using AI and automation to transform unified communications — and to empower partners with new revenue opportunities. “The main reason to move to Wildix today isn't just to unify communications — it's to automate and improve business processes, especially with AI,” said Osler. “We're helping companies replace human interactions in routine communication and integrate AI to boost sales and efficiency.” Founded in 2005 in Trento, Italy, Wildix began as a PBX innovator before becoming one of the first companies to deliver a WebRTC-based unified communications platform in 2012. Two decades later, the company is now focused on the next evolution: agentic AI and business process automation. Osler explained that AI is not simply a feature but a catalyst for business transformation. From automated scheduling and customer engagement to Salesforce-integrated workflows, Wildix enables customers to achieve measurable ROI while giving partners full ownership of their customer relationships and billing. “We don't publish price lists because every solution delivers a different value,” Osler noted. “A basic PBX may be $10 per user, but the same platform, integrated with AI and CRM automation, can be worth thousands.” Wildix's vertical specialization is also central to its strategy. Products such as x-bees, a sales tool integrated with Salesforce, and x-hoppers, a communications platform for retail frontline workers, demonstrate how narrowing focus creates greater differentiation and customer value. On the topic of Microsoft Teams integration, Osler emphasized that Wildix complements rather than competes with Teams. “We provide the telephone services and smart automation that Teams can't — the goal isn't to deliver dial tone, but to deliver value,” he said. Looking ahead to 2026, Osler stressed that partner enablement is key to Wildix's growth. “We're training partners not just to sell AI, but to understand it — to identify the right use cases, show value, and implement fast.” For Wildix, AI isn't a distant concept; it's a practical, deployable advantage. As Osler concluded with a smile: “The best way to learn more about Wildix? Ask AI.” Learn more about Wildix and its channel-first UCaaS and AI automation strategy at wildix.com.

Gossip is an ethically interesting phenomenon when humans do it. It creates a bond between the people doing the gossiping, but it does so by implicitly excluding the person being gossiped about, and can cause harm, especially when the gossip is malicious, or simply isn't true. What I hadn't realised until I spoke to Lucy Osler, a Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Exeter, is that large language models like ChatGPT and Claude can gossip, or at least they can do something which looks an awful lot like gossip. In this conversation with Lucy, we got into what might be happening, how it might harm people, and what we might be able to do about it.Following my conversation with Lucy, I had an interesting conversation with ChatGPT about the same topic.In the episode we discuss Kevin Roose's interaction with the chatbot Sydney. Here's Roose's own article about that experience:Why a Conversation With Bing's Chatbot Left Me Deeply Unsettled - The New York TimesAnd here are some academic articles that might be of interest:Fisher, S.

Send us a textWilliam Osler was a Canadian physician and one of the “Big 4” founders of John Hopkins Hospital. He created the first “residency” program for training physicians and he has been called the father of modern medicine.I think it's safe to say he knows a thing or two.Osler once said “No man is really happy or safe without a hobby.”That is especially true for law enforcement.The stress of law enforcement can cause tremendous mental and physical problems if not addressed and hobbies go a long way to help alleviate that stress.Not only does it help on the job, but once retirement rolls around and you hang up those 12-hour days on the emotional rollercoaster, you better have something to occupy your time.Otherwise, that couch will be calling your name.And that couch is a killer.I wanted to talk to a retired officer that mastered the art of hobbies and one name rose right to the top.David Rhodes.Dave started with the Indiana University Police Department in 1980 and spent the next 40 years patrolling, investigating, and training new officers. He retired as the Lieutenant in charge of training at IUPD, and while his law enforcement career is impressive his off-duty life is just as interesting. In my opinion Dave mastered the art of hobbies. From martial arts, to music, to becoming a published author, Dave is never bored.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Kamis, 17 Juli 2025Bacaan: "Sebab itu janganlah kamu khawatir akan hari besok, karena hari besok mempunyai kesusahannya sendiri. Kesusahan sehari cukuplah untuk sehari." (Matius 6:39)Renungan: Sir Willam Osler, seorang yang dikenal berotak cemerlang mengatakan bahwa sebenarnya otaknya berkualitas sedang. Ia bisa mencapai yang terbaik di dalam hidupnya karena la telah belajar menerapkan hidup dalam jangka waktu terbatas. Artinya kita harus menutup rapat-rapat "pintu belakang" dan "pintu depan". Salah satu hal yang sering menyiksa manusia sehingga tidak bisa menikmati kehidupan ini adalah kebiasaan membiarkan kesedihan serta kekecewaan masa lalu (pintu belakang) dan khawatir memikirkan hari esok (pintu depan). Osler menegaskan bahwa cara terbaik untuk menyiapkan hari esok adalah melaksanakan apa yang semestinya kita kerjakan hari ini sebaik-baiknya tanpa disertai kekhawatiran akan hari esok. Kepada mahasiswa yang diajarnya ia mengatakan bahwa mereka harus selalu memulai hari mereka seperti doa yang diajarkan Yesus, "Berikanlah kami pada hari ini makanan kami yang secukupnya." (Mat 6:11). Ini bukan berarti bahwa kita tidak perlu merencanakan sesuatu untuk masa depan atau tidak boleh memersiapkan kebutuhan untuk hari esok. Tetapi janganlah kekhawatiran hari esok membebani hati dan pikiran sehingga kita tidak bisa mengerjakan dengan baik pekerjaan hari ini. Bukankah beban hari ini jika ditambah dengan beban hari esok akan lebih memberatkan? Ketika melalui hari ini tanpa gangguan dengan beban hari esok, kita bisa bekerja dengan maksimal hari ini dan melakukan semuanya dengan baik sehingga kita dapatmemersiapkan hari esok dengan lebih baik. Kekhawatiran tidak akan mendatangkan keuntungan. Orang yang selalu khawatir pasti hidupnya tidak tenang, tertekan dan akhirnya merusak kesehatannya sendiri. Dia yang memelihara kita adalah Tuhan yang hidup dan dapat diandalkan. Kalau Ia mengajarkan kita untuk tidak khawatir, itu berarti bahwa Ia menjamin seluruh kehidupan kita termasuk apa yang kita khawatirkan. Kuncinya adalah percaya pada pemeliharaan-Nya dan lakukan yang terbaik hari ini. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ampunilah aku karena aku sering meragukan kesetiaan-Mu yang senantiasa menyertai dan memelihara aku. Roh kekhawatiran akan segala sesuatu dalam hidupku selalu menjerat aku, sehingga kuasa-Mu tidak bisa bekerja secara penuh dalam diriku. Ajarilah aku bahwa walau aku manusia biasa, tapi aku punya Allah yang luar biasa yang sanggup berbuat segala sesuatu yang mustahil bagiku. Amin. (Dod).

Rob Osler returns to share the first book in his Harriet Morrow Investigates series: The Case of the Missing Maid. We discuss the parallels between the Progressive Era (1890-1920) and current events, writing an exemplary and queer woman in a historic setting, and the unfolding of the series. https://robosler.com/  http://www.wrotepodcast.com/rob-osler/ 

Dr. Mary Hague-Yearl is the head librarian at the Osler Library of the History of Medicine at McGill University. Listen to Mary discuss ongoing programs at the Osler Library, the importance of studying the history of medicine and the ethical legacy of historical physicians.

Set in 1898, Harriet Morrow is 21, supports her 16-year-old brother, and has been accepted as the first female detective at the Prescott Agency. She's given one week to find Agnes, maid to the wealthy Pearl Bartlett, who lives in one of the Prairie Street mansions on the south side of Chicago. Harriet, who prefers wearing men's shoes and hats and has no intention of ever getting married, immediately notices that Agnes has been taken, probably by force, from her attic apartment. Harriet visits Agnes's family and neighborhood and riding her trusty bicycle begins searching for clues across the city while grappling with someone in the agency who is trying to sabotage her. If she doesn't solve the case, she'll be booted from the agency, and Harriet Morrow can't let that happen in Rob Osler's charming novel, The Case of the Missing Maid (Kensington Books Publishing 2024). Rob Osler was born and raised in Boise, Idaho and earned a B.A. in Philosophy at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA. Soon after, he moved to Chicago and began a decade-long career as an advertising copywriter, creating television campaigns for Kellogg's and Tropicana, among others. After a transition to brand strategy and returning to school for an MBA at the University of Washington in Seattle, he spent two decades in senior roles at agencies and corporations in Seattle and San Francisco. Writing throughout, his focus was on business communications and brand strategy, with published articles in The Journal of Brand Management. Rob turned to fiction writing in his fifties. His first-ever publication was a short story, ANALOGUE, set in Seattle's tech industry, published in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. The story won the 2022 Mystery Writers of America Robert L Fish Award. His debut novel, DEVIL'S CHEW TOY, also set in Seattle and published the following year, was a finalist for the 2023 Anthony, Agatha, Lefty, and Macavity Awards and was A Year's Best by CrimeReads. His second-ever published short story, MISS DIRECTION, set in Palm Springs, CA, and appearing again in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, was a finalist for the 2024 Edgar Allen Poe Awards. His new historical series “Harriet Morrow* Investigates,” set in Chicago during America's Progressive Era, launches with THE CASE OF THE MISSING MAID, which earned a Publishers Weekly Starred Review and is an Amazon Editors Pick for Best Mystery, Thriller & Suspense. After living in Boise, Chicago, and Seattle, Rob now resides in California with his husband and a tall gray cat, who, depending on the day, goes by the name Noodles, Mr. Chomps, or Monkey.

On November 9th, 2024, the Canadian Government published a proposed policy to cap oil and gas sector emissions, known as Canada Gazette Part 1. While the final targets will not be set until 2026, the Government estimates that this policy, in conjunction with other policies, will reduce GHG emissions from the oil and gas sector by 35% in the early 2030s compared to 2019. When flexible compliance options are considered, actual emissions are targeted to decline by 19% from 2019 levels.This week, Sander Duncanson, Partner at Osler and Co-Chair of Osler's national Regulatory, Indigenous, and Environmental practice, joins the podcast. Osler is a leader in Canadian business law.Peter, Jackie and Sander discuss their concerns with the proposed policy. Topics covered include:The low likelihood of the regulation becoming final law.The potential for the policy to create winners and losers, market distortions, and other unintended consequences.The complexity of Canada's regulatory framework which reduces investment.Concerns that Canada and the United States are moving in opposite directions regarding carbon policy. Canada is increasing stringency, while the US is expected to reduce its carbon policy, thereby creating the threat of investment moving from Canada to the US (carbon leakage).The options to provide feedback on the proposed policy are available until January 8th, 2025.Content referenced in this podcast:Canada Gazette, Part I, Volume 158, Number 45: Oil and Gas Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cap Regulations (November 9th, 2024)Consultation feedback can be provided within a series of online forms in the Gazette, Part 1 link above, by January 8th, 2025. Another option for feedback is to submit a “Notice of Objection” by the same date. More information on this option can be found under the heading “PROPOSED REGULATORY TEXT” in the Gazette.Peter Tertzakian's commentary in The Hub “DeepDive: It's time for a carbon policy time-out” (November 2nd, 2024)Osler's Blog “Federal government announces constitutionally questionable oil and gas sector emissions cap” (November 8th, 2024)Please review our disclaimer at:https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinst LinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple Podcasts Amazon Music Spotify

On June 20, 2024, Bill C-59 received Royal Assent and officially became law, implementing its provisions into Canadian legislation. The Bill, along with Bill C-69, which was passed on the same day, introduced new subsidies to encourage investment in clean energy in Canada. Bill C-59 established the Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Tax Credit. Bill C-69 created the Federal Indigenous Loan Guarantee, the Clean Technology Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit, and the Clean Hydrogen Investment Tax Credit. However, the positive impact of these new subsidies was overshadowed by the greenwashing regulations added late in the process for Bill C-59. The new greenwashing rules amend the Competition Act to require that claims made by companies about environmental, ecological, or climate change benefits can be verified. Because of the ambiguity of what is needed to comply with the rules, many energy companies have deleted all GHG emissions and other sustainability content from their websites, including annual sustainability reports and commitments to improve environmental performance in the future. This week on the podcast, our guest, Kaeleigh Kuzma, a Partner at Osler in the Competition, Trade, and Foreign Investment Group, explained the new greenwashing rules. Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie asked Kaeleigh: Why is greenwashing included in the Competition Act? Can you explain the provisions? What does “proper substantiation in accordance with internationally recognized methodology” mean? Why are the rules so vague, and what is the process for clarity? Do these rules only affect oil and gas and other heavy-emitting companies, or do they also apply to clean energy companies? What is the process for filing a complaint against a company to the Competition Bureau? What are the methods of enforcement? Other content referenced in this podcast:   Osler's detailed multi-part guide on the Competition Act amendments, with a specific section on deceptive marketing practices and greenwashing, here. Text of Bill C-59, see 74.01 (1), including (b.1) and (b.2) Form to provide feedback to the Competition Bureau on the amendments to the Act Kevin  Krausert opinion “Ottawa's anti-greenwashing bill will cripple cleantech innovation” (June 20, 2024)Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/  Check us out on social media:  X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute  Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas Podcast Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Amazon Music Spotify

This week on the podcast, our guest is Stephen Poloz, former Governor of the Bank of Canada, Author, Special Advisor at Osler, and recently appointed by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland to lead a working group to explore how to catalyze greater domestic investments by Canada's pension funds.  This is Stephen's second appearance on the podcast. The first was in 2022 after he released his book The Next Age of Uncertainty. Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter asked Stephen: What precipitated the thesis that Canadian pensioners are better off with more investment in Canada? What can you say about the pension investment working group, the deliverable you are working towards, and the potential timing? Why has inflation been so persistent in Canada and globally? What are your expectations for Canadian interest rate announcements in the future?

"Lifestyle Medicine - the new paradigm in Primary Healthcare" In this episode, my guest Dr. Foong Tsin Uin and I talk about Primary Healthcare  particularly Lifestyle Medicine -  a rapidly growing field of medicine that uses evidence-based lifestyle interventions to prevent, treat and manage chronic diseases. If you ask people what Primary Healthcare is, most shrug or respond "direct healthcare?" To be honest, not many people know what it is let alone understood it. Are Singaporeans getting the kind of healthcare we need? Well, in this episode, I am delighted to have Dr. Foong share with us the concept of it and introduce the medical approach of Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Foong is the Director and Chief Medical Officer of Osler Health International. Her team of international doctors have looked after the global community of Singapore for many years. Dr. Foong obtained her medical degree from Royal Free & UCL Medical School in London in 2000. She went to complete her postgraduate training in general practice in London, earning her membership with the Royal College of General Practitioners (UK) in 2006. Later on, she underwent further training and obtained a Diploma in Dermatology from Cardiff University in 2012.Her practice within the international community in Singapore over the last 7 years has seen her practice grow as she delivers a holistic style approach to family practice – in particular looking after children from newborns upwards, and also in the field of mental health. Passionate about providing preventative health for Osler Health patients, Dr. Foong is also a member of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine. Diving into the heart of what it truly means to progress and come together as a society in Singapore. she challenges the conventional wisdom that primary care providers and preventive approaches are always aligned. Dr. Foong introduces Osler Health Services and their uniqueness as a primary care provider. At the core of our discussion is the concept of coaching in healthcare. Dr. Foong illuminates the distinction between a 10 minute and a 45 minute consultation. She introduces us to personalized healthcare right in the first consultation which is one of a kind that makes Osler different. This episode takes you to understanding the importance of one's health and the accessibility of Primary Healthcare as well as the new paradigm - Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Foong advocates self-advocacy in healthcare which means that you are a participant in your own healthcare, working in partnership with doctors, and allied health professionals. Seeing the relationship with your health care team as a partnership helps make you part of decision-making and the management of your diagnosis and treatment. Prepare to be inspired and challenged as Dr. Foong guides us into the path of true healthcare reform. It is a worthy listen!

CardioNerds (Drs. Amit Goyal, Matthew Delfiner, and Tiffany Dong) discuss infective endocarditis with distinguished clinician-educator Dr. Michael Cullen. We dive into the nuances of infective endocarditis, including native valve endocarditis, prosthetic valve endocarditis, and right-sided endocarditis. Notes were drafted by Dr. Tiffany Dong, and audio editing was performed by student Dr. Adriana Mares. The CardioNerds Beyond the Boards Series was inspired by the Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Board Review Course and designed in collaboration with the course directors Dr. Amy Pollak, Dr. Jeffrey Geske, and Dr. Michael Cullen. CardioNerds Beyond the Boards SeriesCardioNerds Episode PageCardioNerds AcademyCardionerds Healy Honor Roll CardioNerds Journal ClubSubscribe to The Heartbeat Newsletter!Check out CardioNerds SWAG!Become a CardioNerds Patron! Pearls and Quotes The physical exam is crucial in the evaluation of infective endocarditis and includes cardiac auscultation and a search for sequelae of endocarditis, such as immunologic and embolic phenomena. The modified Duke Criteria categorizes the diagnosis of infective endocarditis into four different buckets: definite endocarditis by pathology, definite endocarditis by clinical criteria, possible endocarditis, and rejected. The diagnosis of endocarditis may involve several different imaging modalities, including transthoracic echocardiogram, transesophageal echocardiogram, 4D CT, and nuclear imaging. For left-sided endocarditis, indications to operate include endocarditis due to S. aureus or fungi, heart failure, evidence of perivalvular complications, persistent bacteremia, and large vegetations. The management of endocarditis often involves multiple teams, including cardiology, infectious disease, addiction medicine, neurology, anesthesiology, and cardiothoracic surgery. Notes What signs/complications of endocarditis are apparent on physical exam and labs? A new or worsening cardiac murmur with possible signs of volume overload. Vascular phenomena encompass splinter hemorrhages, conjunctival hemorrhages, Janeway lesions, mycotic aneurysms, and TIA/strokes. Immunologic phenomena include glomerulonephritis, Roth spots, and Osler nodes. Positive blood cultures with 2-3 samples collected. Elevated inflammatory markers. How does the modified Duke criteria assist in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis? The modified Duke criteria separate the diagnosis of endocarditis into four categories: definite endocarditis by pathology, definite endocarditis by clinical criteria, possible endocarditis, and rejected endocarditis. Definitive endocarditis by pathology requires pathologic confirmation of “bugs under the microscope.” Definitive endocarditis by clinical criteria requires two major criteria, one major and two minor criteria, or all five minor criteria. Possible endocarditis requires one major and one minor or three minor criteria. Major criteria:Positive blood culture for typical organism Evidence of endocardial involvement (e.g., vegetation on echo) Minor CriteriaPredisposing clinical factors (e.g., intravenous drug use, known valvulopathy)FeverImmunologic phenomenaVascular phenomena Blood culture for atypical organism What is the role of TTE compared to TEE in endocarditis? TTE and TEE both have their roles in the workup for endocarditis. TTE can provide a baseline screen and yield a better understanding of ventricular size and function than transesophageal. The strength of TEE is the ability to visualize smaller vegetations along with perivalvular complications that may be missed on TTE. If clinical suspicion is high for endocarditis, repeat echocardiography is warranted. What are other tools to evaluate for endocarditis in prosthetic valves? TTE and TEE remain important and should be commonly utilized for the diagnosis of endocarditis.

Sandra Cohen returns to “The Future is Bright” podcast for part two of her interview with Chris and to tell the story of how she became an executive compensation attorney at Cohen & Buckmann pc. Her journey was a steady upward trajectory where her fierce sense of independence and ambition served her well at every step. A Midwestern girl, she moved to New York City right out of college, looking for a more cosmopolitan experience. Within five days, she secured a job in HR at Manufacturers Hanover thanks to an informational interview with a Washington University alumnae. Much of her business still comes from relationships she formed years ago, and Sandra advises young lawyers on long-term business development, taking initiative to form groups, and establishing yourself early on as a thought leader. Those with more experience should individuate themselves so that they aren't as reliant on their boss's view of their work. She explains what her job is and is not, what she still loves about it years later, and the unique challenges of the position.  Recognizing that most executives in HR were lawyers, she enrolled in Yale law and upon graduating got a job with the Canadian branch of Osler, Hoskin and Harcourt. Though she saw prime examples of female leaders at this firm who were able to admirably balance work and life, sometimes, Sandra confesses, it's not balanced at all. As she tells her students at NYU, for the sake of both your personal and professional success, choose your spouse wisely.   In between family and work, it's important to make time for fun. Hear Sandra discuss her hobbies– including a dedicated equestrian practice–and how she makes the best of New York's incomparable nightlife.  Quotes “I'm still fascinated by the psychology of it, how groups work and how office politics work. And that still informs part of my job as an executive comp, attorney, helping organizations find what's the right incentive for their company, and why are they pursuing the stock option plan, do they have the other pieces other than money also in place?” (7:31 | Sandra) “Find something that interests you enough to write about and talk about, so that you have shown thought leadership, create your own blog, if your law firm doesn't have one, it doesn't matter. Write on LinkedIn, you don't have to get published by a major publisher to show that you know what you're talking about.” (22:11 | Sandra) “It's not who you know, it's who knows you.” (23:00 | Sandra)  “I think business development is really like watering a tree…And if you want to be sort of strategic and calculating about it, it's like, okay, how do I get more people to have known me a long time.” (23:34 | Sandra)    Links Connect with Sandra Cohen: Website Bio https://cohenbuckmann.com/sandra-w-cohen LinkedIn Profile https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandracohenesq/ Top Seven Questions Executives Should Ask About Private Company Stock Options https://cohenbuckmann.com/insights/2020/7/13/top-seven-questions-executives-should-ask-about-private-company-stock-options Profits Interests 101: A Crash Course in Profits Interests https://cohenbuckmann.com/insights/2022/7/27/profits-interests-101-a-crash-course-in-profits-interests Connect with Chris Batz: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisbatz/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theliongroupkc  Instagram: @theliongroupllc Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm  

I love having guests on, but even more I love it when I PERSONALLY know and love this person.  Today is such a situation. I met Jenn about 14 or 15 years ago during a gymnastics class our daughters were taking.  You know when you meet someone and you instantly love them...that was Jenn! Since then the Lord has walked her through some pretty intense trials...she's a mom to two kiddos with her first husband who was tragically killed and a stepmum to two daughters when she remarried their dad...who happens to be from Ireland...hence "step-mum".  She has a love and passion for the Lord that I envy and desire. She shared a post on IG the other day and I text her right away - I asked if she'd talk about intentionally prioritizing her marriage to all of you...because I know I am blessed by what she shares and I know you will be too! You can find Jennifer on IG - @jjoslerbolton Let's get started! xx, michelle ______________________________ I'm in a phase of simplification...as a result you can find me in three places... 1.

BW was a 66-year-old woman who presented for an urgent visit to the general medicine clinic. She reported that she had been having dizziness for the last four days. When pressed, she said it occurred intermittently, being present more than absent. She could not identify any palliative or provocative features, and when asked about associated symptoms she said that she felt “bad and scared” when it was present. The doctor encouraged her, many times, to characterize the dizziness, and she could only say that when she had it, she felt dizzy.Sensible Medicine is a reader-supported publication. If you appreciate our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Many a medical trainee has been humiliated on morning rounds after proclaiming that their presentation was wanting because the “patient was a poor historian.” Any attending worth her white coat will respond in one of the following ways:“There are no poor historians, just poor history-takers.”“You do realize, don't you, that the patient is not the historian? You are the historian.”“Did you consider the differential diagnosis of why you were unable to obtain a useful history?”I admit that, going for pith over constructive criticism, I employ the former two more than the latter one. There is a differential diagnosis for the patient who cannot describe the history of their medical concerns.Often, the inability of a doctor to obtain a history is actually a physical exam finding – an extremely non-specific finding, but a finding nonetheless. Psychiatric disease, dementia, and delirium (whose differential diagnosis itself is practically a textbook of medicine) will render a patient unable to provide an accurate history. I can recall dozens of “poor historians'' who became Robert Caro-esque once their hypercapnea, uremia, or alcohol withdrawal was treated.There are three other reasons that obtaining reliable and informative histories might be a struggle.1.      We think with languageThe first — the saddest, most troublesome, and probably most common – reason that patients are unable to provide a reliable history is because of their impaired language skills. Not only do we use language to communicate, we also use language to think. George Orwell wrote, “…if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.”[i]Those of us who failed to master language, usually through inadequate education, are unable to express their health concerns clearly. Sometimes, listening to a patient try to describe symptoms, I get the sense that the problem is more than expressive.BW was not an especially striking example of this for me, she was just one of the more recent. She also presented with a problem for which an accurate history is critical. The history of a patient's dizziness radically alters the differential diagnosis. We teach trainees that the first question to pose to a patient with dizziness is, “What do you mean, dizzy?” We tell the trainee to ask the question and then sit back and listen. More often than not, patients will describe their dizziness in a way that can be interpreted as lightheadedness, vertigo, unsteadiness, or a non-specific feeling of being unwell.[ii]As I interviewed BW, my sense was that she not only struggled to articulate what she was feeling but to figure it out herself. Beyond my frustration in having trouble caring for her, I considered the lifelong impact of leaving people educationally impoverished. Sure, we limit people's earning potential, but we also limit their internal life and their healthcare.2.      Anxiety affects how we experience symptomsVG is a patient I have seen for years, from his mid 30's to his early 60's. He has a few very mild chronic medical conditions and very severe anxiety disorder. He is a successful professional but struggles with intermittent episodes of health-related anxiety.Our interactions usually begin with an email or a phone call. VG will have become anxious about a new symptom. The symptom is real – joint pain, a rash, a new floater. The symptom has generated a web of worry about what it could portend. The worries are always baseless and would be amusing if they were not so clearly painful and disturbing to him.I have learned that for VG, as well as for many patients like him, these concerns require a visit. An accurate history cannot be obtained without seeing him. The anxiety clouds VG's experience of the symptom. The knee pain becomes excruciating, the rash ubiquitous, the floater debilitating. The response to simple questions -- Is the knee pain worse coming down the stairs? Where is the rash? Do you see the floater in one or both eyes? -- become unreliable. Seeing VG, providing some reassurance, and obtaining objective physical data is imperative.3.      Secondary gain“Listen to your patient; he is telling you the diagnosis” is is an Osler (or merely Oslerian) quotation. From the earliest days of our training we are taught to listen to our patients and believe what they are telling us. Our greatest sin in history taking is that we interrupt too soon and too often. We ask closed-ended and leading questions. When the answer to a question doesn't align with our hypothesis, we either ignore the response or doubt its veracity.However, patients are people and people lie. Patients exaggerate the symptoms of their sinus infection to get an antibiotic prescription. Patients tell you that their oxycodone or Ambien fell in the sink or toilet so they can get an early refill.[iii] I have had numerous people appear on my schedule with the chief concern of “chest pain” documented by the nurse. When I ask, “Tell me about your chest pain?” the patient responds, sheepishly, “I'm not actually here for chest pain but I really needed to see you and I knew that would get me in.”Some of these untruths are the proverbial chickens coming home to roost. Patients exaggerate symptoms because they fear they will not otherwise be taken seriously. They fear mild but troublesome or worrisome symptoms will be met with:“Let's just watch that.”“That doesn't really sound like it warrants treatment.”“If it hurts to bend your arm, don't bend your arm.”Most everyone learns at some point the factoid that 80% of diagnoses come from the medical history.

A novice will take longer than an expert to extract a less accurate history. From some patients, however, not even an experienced physician can obtain a cogent medical history. This failure may be a clue to an underlying diagnosis. It may also be related to a person's education, their health-related anxiety, or their effort, conscious or unconscious, to influence the doctor. [i] Orwell obviously took this idea to in a frightening direction in 1984 describing a government that uses the control on language to control thought.[ii] We often jokingly describe this last type of dizzy as “dizzy dammit” – as in “I am just dizzy, dammit.”[iii] It is interesting that people only drop opiates, benzodiazepines, and stimulants in the sink. Nobody has every dropped an SSRI, statin, or antibiotic. This is a public episode.

Dr. Turner Osler studied anthropology at Princeton, before becoming a surgeon and research epidemiologist. After 30 years working at the University of Vermont's trauma center, Dr. Osler left the operating room and began a career as a research epidemiologist, which required hours of sitting at a computer, resulting in unrelenting back pain. Being an expert on the spine, he decided to try to design a chair that would work with, rather than against human anatomy and physiology. This is a public episode.
