SFMMS 2024 President's Message: Smoking & Sweets Are Good For You!



SFMMS 2024 President Dr. Dennis Song's recent President's Message, in the current issue of the SF Marin Journal, discusses the need for physicians to "seek trustworthy authorities to help us navigate through this sea of data...With the advent of the internet, access to data is easier, but so is the amount of misinformation. Couple this with security breaches, artificial intelligence, political motivation, and profiteering. Then throw in politics and religion. How can a physician navigate and decide? We forget as well that physicians are patients too. Academic institutions and healthcare organizations should be free of influence from politics and industry influence. Trust and validity are important. With its volunteer leaders, the San Francisco Marin Medical Society does its best in providing the right direction for healthcare policy and good medicine."
