The @AmerMedicalAssn meets in #Chicago, and #GunViolence is a major topic of conversation. The delegates demand action, and the association responds: "We take it upon ourselves to help heal our society." My thoughts: https://t.co/ejicN6f74p #AMAMTG #AMA175 #GunSafetyNow

The brochure promises primary care for real life whenever you need it , even in your PJs. But what about the rest of us who really need it?

We are seeing a restructure of #primarycare. New models of #healthcare are filling gaps while making promises of "Exceptional care for real life: In person or in your PJs." But happens to those who REALLY need high quality primary care? My thoughts: https://t.co/kig1kz5d30

A patient and physician are faced with a difficult choice when the cost of a #medicine approved by the @US_FDA 33 years ago is unaffordable and not covered by insurance--and there is no ready explanation why it is so expensive. My thoughts: https://t.co/2xZjCFxuCV #PharmaTwitter

Are we nearing the day when some patients with lung cancer can be cured without surgery or radiation? Maybe, just maybe…

What if localized #lungcancer could be treated without #surgery and #radiation ? That would be an incredible advance. With newly @FDAOncology approved drugs it may be a possibility in the future--and that future may be closer than we think. My thoughts: https://t.co/CbAToMvEtA

How often do we think about those who made progress in #cancer possible through #clinicaltrials? For breast cancer that journey over decades makes a genuine difference daily. The women who made that happen are truly angels. My thoughts: https://t.co/Cqrp6skkZr #CancerResearch

Mashup Score: 0COVID, Two Years Later: Too Much To Grieve? - Dr. Len's Blog - 2 year(s) ago
Two years ago, life changed: the pandemic had started taking roots in the United States, people were scared, communities were impacted and life as we knew it started to shut down. Little did we realize how long-lasting and deep the impact would be.

It has been two years since the #COVID19 #pandemic took root in this country. The losses have been beyond comprehension, the impact surreal and continuing. Have we become so inured to the tragedy that we can no longer grieve? My thoughts: https://t.co/YpRjVO6mXV

With all the talk about COVID vaccinations, cancer patients have to be asking what it means for them. And aside from some general reassurances, there is a lot we don’t know about how effective those vaccines will be in patients with cancer.

For some time I have been concerned about the #CovidVaccine response in those with #cancer and others who are immunocompromised (see https://t.co/XpxtRJ2JAs). Now @washingtonpost offers an excellent overview of what we know today about this topic: https://t.co/85MNXoGL8P

For me, the concept of dogs sniffing breath samples to detect human cancers early has been the gift that keeps on giving—actually, for about 20 years. Blogs, media interviews, national television news appearances: you name it: it’s a topic that has engaged me periodically for that many years. It is the story that will not… Read More »Can Doggies Detect Cancer Early? Researchers Keep On Trying

It's an enduring concept:harnessing the ability of #dogs to sniff breath samples & detect #cancer early--but it hasn't worked. Researchers keep on trying with a recent report in @JAMANetworkOpen hinting success. My take: https://t.co/NV7xzhBDJ1 @CRUKresearch @OwlstoneMedical 1/2
