In an effort to encourage good-faith discussion about difficult issues, STAT is now publishing selected letters to the editor received in response to its First Opinion essays. The topics include challenges faced by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, shortcomings of the Medicare Annual Wellness visit, funding for sobering centers for those recovering from intoxication, and the need for a new Hippocratic oath for AI applications in healthcare. The letters express a wide range of perspectives, with some advocating for increased medical education on IDD and the need for the pharmaceutical industry to take responsibility for addiction, while others push for broader approaches to solving issues such as obesity and ethical considerations in using AI in medicine.
