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

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

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
