WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!

Fort Bend Medical Society will have a table at the YMCA Healthy Kids Day Event on Saturday, April 26, 2025 from 10-12 noon.

We need physician and non-physician volunteers to help fit kids for helmets and give "book prescriptions" to promote the importance of reading.

It is a fun and fulfilling event, so please contact sara.regalado@texmed.org if you are able to help!

DSHS continues to track the measles outbreak in the South Plains and Panhandle.

As of today, 146 cases have been identified since late January.

A school-aged child, who lived in the outbreak area, died on Wednesday. The child was not vaccinated.

Immunization with two doses of MMR vaccine protects you from getting sick and stops the outbreak from spreading.

We will continue to post updates on Tuesdays and Fridays.

AI and the future of medicine. Workload in primary care may finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.

While I don’t believe that AI is ready to replace physicians when it comes to the practice of medicine (now or possibly ever), I have been shocked at how far it has progressed in acting as a medical scribe.
