Thanks to everyone who took the time to leave such positive comments. I'm hoping this video/song will encourage more people to not only think about the concept of choosing wisely but also push people into action - and also make you happy just listening to the song. Liam and Shae did a tremendous job with the vocals.
so catchy - it's going to be a lot of fun seeing the student response to this! Congrats on a superb and timely effort: I hope the video and the message go viral. The song is certainly infectious!
I love it. Great song and great lyrics. We all should be aware our health and choose wisely what is good for us. I agree. I work in medical field and I agree that sometimes less means more.
+Peter Trewby But if they did that, how would they pay for all the latest and most expensive medical equipment to brag about how they have the best diagnostic machines, etc. in their area of the country? How would the surgeons pay for their third home in Vail, CO.
This may be your most brilliant video so far. And that's saying a lot! I applaud you, sir. Also, I immediately forward it to all my medical students. Thanks for making my job easier. :)
James McCormack I teach (clinical) pharmacology and more often than not I find myself talking about polypharmacy, EBM or just common sense that often seems to be missing in modern medicine. I have seen too many patients being literally drugged to death by 20 or more well-meant prescriptions that I consider it one of our main goals to teach the next generation of doctors more about when NOT to prescribe, when to STOP medication and to ALWAYS talk to their patients. :)
I absolutely admire this video! How brilliant to adress this problem. It should be shown in GP Practices and hospital waiting rooms. A translation in Dutch would be necessary though....
Hi James, what a great idea and an excellent advice!!! We'd very much like to play this video on the patient screen at our surgery (UK). Can we get your permission to do so? Would have to use an online converter, if you give us your permission. Thanks!
Brilliant example of adult to adult social marketing for a social purpose. Of the thousands of things I have seen and read this week - this will stay with me longest and has fired my imagination most. Thank you.
Italian translation of Choosing Wisely. Può sembrare pazzesco quello che sto per dire ma FARE MENO a volte è meglio Ci sono esami, trattamenti, farmaci e procedure che proprio non ti servono Mentre alcuni sono molto utili, altri possono essere inutili Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza radiografie ed esami annuali possono fare più male che bene Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza Esami diagnostici per cose minori, possono in verità non essere utili Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza Antibiotici per un raffreddore non servono, anzi ti fanno male Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza per molte cose un esame è spesso un’esagerazione Tu mi dici che sei preoccupato di avere questo e quello Bene, io mi prendo realmente cura di me, quindi stai tranquillo Ma, da quello che posso vedere tu stai proprio bene, sì, Non hai bisogno di quel test, non perdere tempo Ecco perché Eccessive radiografie ed esami tutti gli anni possono fare più male che bene Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza Radiografie per cose minori, possono non darvi la verità Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza Antibiotici per un raffreddore non servono, anzi ti fanno male Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza Un esame di routine per molte cose è spesso un’esagerazione Informati prima di fare le cose Vogliamo (saggiamente) tenervi liberi dai danni Quel risultato del test può provocare allarme e preoccupazione Quel trattamento può farvi star male Quel farmaco potrebbe farvi girare la testa Io voglio (saggiamente, saggiamente, saggiamente) liberarvi dai danni Saggiamente, saggiamente, saggiamente Per tale procedura dovrai indossare un camicione di ospedale Non fare nulla (saggiamente) può essere il tuo portafortuna Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza Abbiamo deciso di essere più attive invece che prendere un farmaco per dormire Il mal di schiena può andar meglio senza radiografie Non ho bisogno di fare un esame al cuore tutti gli anni Sii attivo Mangia in modo sano e non troppo Non fumare Ama la vita Ecco le cose importanti Liberi da danni (saggiamente) Liberi da danni ... fai la cosa giusta ... (saggiamente) Liberi da danni... quella dose è troppo alta ... (saggiamente) Liberi da danni... usa il buon senso ... (saggiamente) Abbiamo deciso di danzare di più invece che ripetere l’esame della densità ossea (la MOC) Non ho avuto bisogno di esami di controllo di routine Non ho bisogno di farmaci antidepressivi Ho discusso se l’induzione del parto era realmente necessaria Ho rifiutato di dare ai bambini farmaci inutili per la tosse e il raffreddore Non ho controllato la pressione o la glicemia troppo frequentemente Ho avuto (dal medico) una stima dei benefici e dei rischi per tutti gli esami, i trattamenti e le procedure e sono stato coinvolto nel prendere decisioni sagge e condivise Condividi le decisioni Scegli con saggezza: ti renderà felice
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it - no I don't work for ABIM - I showed them a draft a week or so before I put it out - you'll notice that their logos aren't on it and the "choosing wiselys" are all in lower case - obviously I "stole" a number of their messages - and added a number of my own. The Initiative Choosing Wisely is very important but the concept choosing wisely is the bottom common sense line.
This is wonderful. James, I work for a not for profit health care quality improvement foundation. I would love to put a link to this on our website and share with our members --- can I have your permission to do that? Great job.
Choosing wisely ist fighting against many interests, well done! Hoffentlich ein Trend, der einen langen Atem hat. I think, in the (western) health care system, there are only GP who are working for health instead of collecting diagnoses.... AW, GP
Splendido. Prima di sottoporre i pazienti ad esami più o meno invasivi, noi medici dovremmo ascoltarli e usare uno strumento ormai poco usato, la semeiotica, che permette di porre almeno una ipotesi diagnostica. L' uso eccessivo del laboratorio può essere fuorviante e sviluppare ansia . Si cura la persona e non la malattia

Another brilliant remix. Sharing to Lean Green and Healthy Facebook group, and tweeting to medical students at Notre Dame (and other followers)
James McCormack strikes again and ... scores! Brilliant video conveying important health messages in a fun way. Well done, congratulations!

I love it. Great song and great lyrics. We all should be aware our health and choose wisely what is good for us. I agree. I work in medical field and I agree that sometimes less means more.
All GP surgeries and hospital outpatient waiting rooms should show this video on a continuous loop. It's so good.
Peter Trewby Thanks Peter - couldn't agree more :) But maybe I'm a tad biased.
+Peter Trewby But if they did that, how would they pay for all the latest and most expensive medical equipment to brag about how they have the best diagnostic machines, etc. in their area of the country? How would the surgeons pay for their third home in Vail, CO.
That would require very strong sedation
Fantastic! Thank you for putting this together.
I use this video for my students in the EbM lecture. They love it as I do. It is brilliant!
Thanks Sylvia - had fun putting it together and so glad you use it.
This is GREAT. Very well done and important messages to empower patients. Thanks for making. Hope you can get it on TV.
James, thanks for reminding us of what is important...quality of life! Less is often more. Cheers, Mark
Love It! Great video clip, will hope to have out clinic run this on the screen in the waiting room…..
Awesome - added to one playlist and shared on our social networks.
Thank you James and keep up the great work (y)
This may be your most brilliant video so far. And that's saying a lot! I applaud you, sir. Also, I immediately forward it to all my medical students. Thanks for making my job easier. :)
Jan - what a kind response - it was definitely a lot of fun to make - just hope it makes people think and then choose wisely. Thanks!!!

Jan Strojil And to really listen to them, I hope.
Very good professor!
é excelente!!!!
É FANTASTICO!!!!!
Garcia, muito bacana mesmo. Sugiro compartilhar na lista de discussão da SBMFC! Abraço!
sim, muito interessante Carlos. Já estou divulgando via facebook.

Would love it if you would do that - just drop me an email - my contact information can be found through the University of British Columbia
#CHEERS to You, Professor!!! - what a #superb way to make us all #choosewisely as well as bringing in some #happiness along in a great Format !

This is the most amazing copyright notice I've ever seen. You're amazing! Why can't everyone be as clear as that when using third party material!
Just came across this by accident. It'll be an excellent way of introducing clinical iatragenesis to my students. Thanks!
This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing.
Brilliant example of adult to adult social marketing for a social purpose. Of the thousands of things I have seen and read this week - this will stay with me longest and has fired my imagination most. Thank you.
Great great great!!! Funny and happy!!! As life should be while we are still HEALTHY!!!
Brilliant approach and content.
Nice job! Where was it filmed?
Hi Gary - as mentioned in the notes the video is a mash-up of content from 24hoursofhappy.com
This is so fantastic - I was just chatting about this last night.
Italian translation of Choosing Wisely.
Può sembrare pazzesco quello che sto per dire
ma FARE MENO a volte è meglio
Ci sono esami, trattamenti, farmaci e procedure che proprio non ti servono
Mentre alcuni sono molto utili, altri possono essere inutili
Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza
radiografie ed esami annuali possono fare più male che bene
Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza
Esami diagnostici per cose minori, possono in verità non essere utili
Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza
Antibiotici per un raffreddore non servono, anzi ti fanno male
Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza
per molte cose un esame è spesso un’esagerazione
Tu mi dici che sei preoccupato di avere questo e quello
Bene, io mi prendo realmente cura di me, quindi stai tranquillo
Ma, da quello che posso vedere tu stai proprio bene, sì,
Non hai bisogno di quel test, non perdere tempo
Ecco perché
Eccessive radiografie ed esami tutti gli anni possono fare più male che bene
Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza
Radiografie per cose minori, possono non darvi la verità
Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza
Antibiotici per un raffreddore non servono, anzi ti fanno male
Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza
Un esame di routine per molte cose è spesso un’esagerazione
Informati prima di fare le cose
Vogliamo (saggiamente) tenervi liberi dai danni
Quel risultato del test può provocare allarme e preoccupazione
Quel trattamento può farvi star male
Quel farmaco potrebbe farvi girare la testa
Io voglio (saggiamente, saggiamente, saggiamente) liberarvi dai danni
Saggiamente, saggiamente, saggiamente
Per tale procedura dovrai indossare un camicione di ospedale
Non fare nulla (saggiamente) può essere il tuo portafortuna
Noi stiamo scegliendo con saggezza
Abbiamo deciso di essere più attive invece che prendere un farmaco per dormire
Il mal di schiena può andar meglio senza radiografie
Non ho bisogno di fare un esame al cuore tutti gli anni
Sii attivo
Mangia in modo sano e non troppo
Non fumare
Ama la vita
Ecco le cose importanti
Liberi da danni (saggiamente)
Liberi da danni ... fai la cosa giusta ... (saggiamente)
Liberi da danni... quella dose è troppo alta ... (saggiamente)
Liberi da danni... usa il buon senso ... (saggiamente)
Abbiamo deciso di danzare di più invece che ripetere l’esame della densità ossea (la MOC)
Non ho avuto bisogno di esami di controllo di routine
Non ho bisogno di farmaci antidepressivi
Ho discusso se l’induzione del parto era realmente necessaria
Ho rifiutato di dare ai bambini farmaci inutili per la tosse e il raffreddore
Non ho controllato la pressione o la glicemia troppo frequentemente
Ho avuto (dal medico) una stima dei benefici e dei rischi per tutti gli esami, i trattamenti e le procedure e sono stato coinvolto nel prendere decisioni sagge e condivise
Condividi le decisioni
Scegli con saggezza: ti renderà felice
Great video and message!
Hi Linda. Glad you enjoyed it - please feel free to link - it's why I made the video!
James McCormack love it
This is a great message and tune! Ask your doctor about what is right for you...and Choose Wisely!
Thanks Dr. McCormack!
♥♥♥
Brilliant
Let's get back to this (mindset) NOW and forever!!!
Great video! Do you work with the ABIM Foundation's Choosing Wisely initiative on this?
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it - no I don't work for ABIM - I showed them a draft a week or so before I put it out - you'll notice that their logos aren't on it and the "choosing wiselys" are all in lower case - obviously I "stole" a number of their messages - and added a number of my own.

This is fantastic! Thank you.
❤
Enjoy yourself, enjoy people, enjoy life...it's the better drug. Choose wisely!
Great song, great message!! My professor for midwifery recommended it the other day. Keep goin!!

Splendido.

Thanks!! You couldn't have gone to 11?🤣

A piece of art to inspire all healthcare providers to activate the evidence based healthcare movement STAT
