Hospital Reflects on Shooting
|
|
|
The Fourth is usually a time for celebration, but it’s also somewhat somber for Illinois’s Highland Park Hospital staff who responded to last year’s city parade mass shooting. Emergency Room Clinical Nurse Manager James Thompson had just sat down for a holiday breakfast with
his family when his phone rang with the news. Despite the horror of the event, triage was “organized and calm” because of past drills and practice. Read how the staff prepared themselves for that day’s tragedy.

As healthcare professionals, we’ve witnessed the remarkable evolution of medical technology, and now, artificial intelligence (AI) is leading a revolutionary change in pharmaceuticals. Insilico Medicine, with its pioneering work using AI, has resulted in a potential drug for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, now in Phase 2 trials in America and China.
The marvel of AI doesn’t stop at discovery. It’s significantly accelerating the process, reducing a six-year timeline to just 18 months and doing so at a fraction of the cost. AI isn’t just expediting pharmaceutical discovery. It’s reshaping it entirely, creating solutions previously unimagined. Much like American freedom, AI in drug discovery represents liberation from traditional constraints, propelling us towards a future of untapped potential in healthcare.
