Emergency physician writing at the seam between frontline clinical reality and the technology being built around it.

I work across emergency medicine and primary care — the parts of the system where undifferentiated problems arrive first, decisions are made on incomplete information, and the cost of a wrong mental model is measured in patients. That vantage point shapes everything I write.

Most healthcare-AI commentary is written by people who have never run a busy department or sat with the consequences of a missed diagnosis. I write from the other side of that gap — about where AI scribes actually help, where “co-pilot” language oversells, and what safety thinking should look like when software starts making clinical suggestions.

I’m registered with the UK General Medical Council (GMC 8126471) and the Turkish Ministry of Health, and a member of the British Medical Association, the Independent Doctors Federation, and the Turkish Medical Association. Alongside clinical work I work as a medical reviewer — appraising clinical and drug-related content for accuracy and safety — and my case-report work appears in Oxford Medical Case Reports.
