Płeć i AI nie wystarczą. Weterynaria bez filtra z Magdą Gralak

To szczera rozmowa o weterynarii bez filtra. Magdalena Gralak – weterynarka, chirurżka i dermatolożka – opowiada o pracy w całodobowej klinice, o dyżurach, po których nie da się „wyłączyć”, o eutanazjach, które zostają z człowiekiem na długo, i o emocjonalnym rollercoasterze między ratowaniem życia a szczepieniem szczeniaka. W odcinku rozmawiamy też o AI i aplikacjach zdrowotnych, o klientach z diagnozą z internetu, o granicach diagnostyki, których nie da się przekroczyć technologią, oraz o kobietach w chirurgii, macierzyństwie na dyżurach i odpowiedzialności, jakiej ten zawód wymaga. To odcinek o empatii, wiedzy i umiejętnościach, których nie zastąpi żaden algorytm.Feminist Activity Book: https://allegro.pl/oferta/feminist-activity-book-gemma-correll-18230798132-------------------------Tu można znaleźc Magdę Gralak: https://www.instagram.com/vetofskin/https://vetofskin.com-------------------------LTTO – marketingowa praca w toku:LinkedIn: @letthetechout YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LettheTechOutWolisz napisać e-mail?
