As the information environment becomes increasingly fragmented and polarized, misinformation is reshaping how the public understands health, medicine, and science. In this recorded conversation, speakers discuss how this “information sickness” ...— amplified by social media and limited accountability in digital spaces — affects patients, clinicians, and health care institutions alike. Speakers explore what it means to practice medicine in a climate of uncertainty and eroding trust, and emphasize the shared responsibility for addressing health misinformation. Reflections include how professionalism can help clinicians navigate challenging conversations, engage patients with humility and clarity, and strengthen trust as a foundation for better care.
