Inside the PWN Books Series

In today’s LIVE-TALK podcast, we chat about our recently published series of books.  We highlight Dr. Blevins’ prolific writing output in the PWN self-published book series, with five titles on pituitary adenomas, diabetes insipidus, Cushing’s, hypopituitarism, and pituitary disorders; a TSH-producing tumor book (in editing); a prolactinoma volume heading to the publisher; and an acromegaly book planned. Dr. Blevins describes his non-linear writing method, writing chapters in whatever order comes to mind rather than sequentially, which lets him complete a book in about two weeks. He also discusses plans to update the diabetes insipidus book to incorporate new international guidelines and a new drug, and to compile all volumes into a single comprehensive pituitary reference.

We also touch on his non-medical writing: a travel memoir from a solo painting-and-bagpipe trip to Connemara, Ireland; and his recently published sci-fi novella 2345, a time-travel adventure inspired by recurring dreams, UAP congressional hearings, and California coastal life. He’s already several chapters into a sequel.

The back half of the conversation touches on AI misinformation, with several fascinating examples, such as one in which a researcher planted a fake disease in obscure literature and watched AI report it as real.  The key issue is the broader danger of patients falling down internet rabbit holes before seeing a physician.
