TikTok takeover: How social media consumed my life


Listen Later

Join us on this episode, where we welcome Brian Boxer Wachler, an ophthalmologist and author of Influenced: The Impact of Social Media on Our Perception. During the COVID shutdowns, Brian had a lot of extra time on his hands, and his twin daughters urged him to join TikTok to dispel misinformation and have some fun. What started as a fun experiment turned into an addiction as Brian chased the dopamine rush of more followers, views, and likes. But as his obsession grew, he began neglecting his real-life family and eventually hit rock bottom. As a recovered "TikTokaholic," Brian shares his cautionary tale of the dangers of being an influencer and the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between virtual and real life. Don't miss this insightful episode on the impact of social media on our perception.

Brian Boxer Wachler is an ophthalmologist.

He shares his story and discusses his book, Influenced: The Impact of Social Media on Our Perception.

With so many demands on their time, physicians today report record levels of burnout. Burnout is caused by many factors, one of which is clinical documentation. Studies indicate physicians spend two hours documenting care for every hour spent with patients.

At Nuance, we are committed to helping physicians do what you love – care for patients – and spend less time on clinical documentation. The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is an AI-powered, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.

Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.
