Disclaimer
Effective: May 18, 2026
The long form of the line that runs in the footer of every page.
1. Non-clinical only
Life After Call is a non-clinical publication. Nothing on this site is medical advice. I do not post about patient care, clinical decision-making, charting, scribes, ambient documentation, clinical AI tools, regulatory questions about clinical AI, or any topic that touches the inside of a hospital or other clinical setting.
If a post appears to give clinical advice, that is a writing error, not an endorsement. Do not act on it.
2. No doctor-patient relationship
Reading this site, subscribing to the newsletter, sending an email to the publisher, or interacting with the publisher on social media does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and the publisher.
The publisher is a licensed physician in the State of Rhode Island. The publisher is not your physician. Life After Call is not the practice of medicine in Rhode Island or anywhere else, and is not a medical practice, clinic, telehealth service, or covered entity under HIPAA.
If you are not a physician and you are reading this anyway, welcome. The same rules apply. Nothing here is medical advice. If you need medical care, contact a qualified healthcare provider in your jurisdiction.
3. Not legal, financial, tax, or other professional advice
Posts on this site sometimes touch on real estate, financial systems, business workflows, or other topics with professional implications. Nothing on this site is legal, financial, investment, tax, accounting, or other professional advice. Always consult a qualified, licensed professional in your jurisdiction before acting on anything you read here.
The publisher is licensed only as a physician, only in Rhode Island, and the publication is not the practice of any other licensed profession.
4. AI tools change
Workflows that worked when I wrote a post may behave differently a month later. Tools update. Pricing changes. Privacy practices change. Models are deprecated. Use your own judgment, especially with anything involving money, sensitive data, or your professional standing.
5. Do not put patient data into consumer AI tools
I have said this in several posts and I will keep saying it.
Consumer AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, NotebookLM, and similar) are not the place for protected health information. They are not HIPAA covered entities by default. Putting patient data into a consumer AI tool may violate HIPAA, state privacy laws, your hospital’s policies, and your professional duties.
If a workflow on this site uses an AI tool, assume the example data is non-clinical. Use the same rule for your own work. If you need AI for clinical work, that is a different conversation with a different set of tools and a different set of safeguards, and this site is not the place for it.
6. Identity disclosure
The publisher writes under the first-name-only identity “Alex, MD.” That is a deliberate brand choice to keep a clean line between the publisher’s clinical practice and this non-clinical publication. The publisher’s real identity is known to the publisher’s employer, the Rhode Island Department of Health, and any party with a legitimate legal need to know.
7. Endorsements and sponsorship
I do not currently run an affiliate program. I do not currently accept sponsored posts. If a tool is named on this site, it is because I use it.
If either of those changes, the change will be disclosed clearly on the page, in the post, or in the newsletter where it appears, consistent with FTC endorsement guidelines.
8. Jurisdiction
This Site is operated from the State of Rhode Island. The Terms of Use are governed by Rhode Island law. See the Terms of Use for full details.
