Life with AI Scribes and Elizabeth Holmes Explained

Friday, September 25, 2026 

In today's episode, Dr. Will Flanary (@drglaucomflecken) & Adam Rose (@Adjoro) cover new research on colonoscopy surveillance after high risk adenomas. A large randomized trial found that waiting five years instead of three led to nearly identical colorectal cancer rates. They explain what the interim results mean for screening guidance and what remains unanswered. Then they turn to a Washington court ruling on whether raw audio from an AI scribe counts as part of the medical record. Plus: they discuss Nathan Fielder’s documentary on Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, prenatal diet and food allergy risk, and more.
