"How Do You Write Something Every Day?" -- MDHub.ai is the Answer.
A brief ode to an AI Scribe in my day
The Frontier Psychiatrists newsletter has a blistering cadence. How, my readers routinely ask me, do I write so frequently? Not to mention my other thrilling output—Live events like RAMHT SF 2025…and Academic papers galore! Heck, it’s been on the order of 15 published in 2024 alone. It’s a lot of output. It can seem…magical. It certainly is to me. However, these activities have enabled each other. I am on the edge of sounding like a LinkedIn influencer! Here are 19 tips to be more productive…
Kidding.
It was more organic than that. Ironically, despite the very cringe-worthy nature of what I’m about to say, it was, in fact, AI that helped me become more efficient. I started writing daily when two things happened in sequence—Siri got good enough that it could reliably allow dictation for the purpose of generating this column. To be clear, this is how the overwhelming majority of my writing is completed. I dictate it into my phone while walking to work, in bed, or anything, really. It annoys my children. It annoys my wife. I’m writing all the time but with my voice. However, Siri had myriad…odd punctuation… choices as well as word substitutions. A good deal of editing went into the newsletter by humans in its first year of existence. I also had my notes, as a physician, to finish.
Those notes. My god. I have had a prior medical practice acquisition transaction go south (called “Brooklyn Minds”), and subsequent litigation has been filed about it. It had nothing to do with the notes. I’d still rather litigate than finish typing up medical notes by hand. Yes, it’s that bad.
In the year prior, we had friends debut groundbreaking data on Ibogaine, fMRI-Guided Accelerated TMS (the SAINT branded version, no less), and were joined by Lykos Theraputics before the FDA dashed their dreams of rapid approval…and this year, oh my gosh! We are bringing live demos of things— here and now—the future of rapid-acting mental health diagnostics and treatments.
Clearly, I do a lot of things. The magic?
It was AI. God, I know. Kill me now, LinkedIn influencers. But really, between Grammarly on this newsletter, which makes it take a lot less time to be less error-prone, and MDHub.ai making my medical notes take 1/10th the time they used to, that is the actual answer. It’s not because AI writes this newsletter. It is because AI writes things OTHER than this newsletter.
MDHub.ai will be at RAMHT SF 2025. Join us this Sunday, the 12th!
What you're not saying is maintaining your Grammarly lead is a big incentive for writing. Like being in the Top Ten of a public video game.
