“The Pitt” star Patrick Ball, who plays Dr. Langdon, grew up with parents in the medical field — his mom was an ER nurse for 40 years and his dad was a lifelong paramedic. He told @gayleking what the hit medical drama’s representation of health care workers means to his family.

AI is beginning to change the medical field, for doctors and patients — and while Dr. Robert Wachter says, “overall, it’s really quite positive,” there are some pitfalls. Dr. Wachter tells @nateburleson and @drlapook about his new book, “A Giant Leap,” which delves into how AI is impacting health care. CBS earns commission on purchases through Amazon.amzn.to/4uXOt7h

A thrill to be on @CBSMornings today talking AI and Healthcare (and about my book, "A Giant Leap") with @nateburleson & @DrLaPook. Interview is here: youtube.com/watch?v=AfyNS7…

Another highlight of being on @CBSMornings today was meeting The Pitt star Patrick Ball (who was on the show after me), along with Jon LaPook. Shouldn't be too hard to pick out the real doctors in this picture, vs. the one who plays a doctor on TV.

Patrick Ball was “looking for an off-ramp” from acting, after more than a decade of trying to book a role on TV, when his “entire life got turned upside down,” booking a starring role on “The Pitt.” Ball, the son of health care workers, shares why he believes “the universe was sending this my direction for a reason.”

We applaud our colleagues and staff for the good work they do integrating empathy into action. Skills include active listening, engaged curiosity, perspective getting and believing, and self-awareness @nyulangone #empathy #StoriesOfEmpathyInTheWorkplace

CBS News Investigation: Hundreds of LA hospices have multiple indicators of fraud cbsn.ws/411wvTf

Incredible investigation today from @CBSNews. Our reporters visited "ground zero" for hospice fraud: Los Angeles, California. One building had 89 registered hospices . . . Read it here: cbsnews.com/projects/2026/…

Although the Trump administration has discontinued the government's annual food insecurity report, dismissing it as "fear mongering," statistics show that the problem of hunger persists. According to the USDA, almost 48 million Americans, including nearly 14 million children, don't get enough to eat on any given day. Lee Cowan sits down with Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, the outgoing CEO of the nation's largest hunger relief organization, @FeedingAmerica, for a reality check about hunger in the United States. cbsn.ws/4lfk6ol

Communicating empathy is a skill, requiring practice to get better at it. Research shows that LLMs can learn the patterns and basically master the skill set. news.northwestern.edu/stories/2026/0… @KelloggSchool #empathy #AI #chatbots

“Rumors of my demise were inaccurate and greatly exaggerated,” @GayleKing said Wednesday. “CBS News is my longtime home, and I am committed to our mission. I’m excited about continuing at ‘CBS Mornings.’ As always, I’m open to new adventures here and ready to go. It took a minute, but we got there. And now that we are here, I am all in.” wsj.com/business/media…
