Lung cancer can be caught early on screening CT scans in current and former smokers who meet guidelines. If discovered, we @BMC are providing the most cutting edge minimally invasive surgical techniques for diagnosis and treatment!
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. 🗓 🫁 ✨ Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women. It is particularly devastating in communities of color.

Patient sees me and recommended for robotic lung resection. Gets 2nd opinion at neighboring hospital, told by surgeon they do it VATS which is less invasive, less pain (3-4 incisions vs 5 incisions) than robotic. Pt goes w neighboring hosp. Is this true or attempt to steal pt?

Is anyone keeping a list of the terrible and dumb things @realDonaldTrump is doing so that we can immediately undo them when he is gone?

Warnock: Trump doesn't even recognize the sad irony of his remark. In a real sense Kamala Harris's story is an iteration of the American story, the diversity that is among us and often within us and that is the American story— Out of many one, E pluribus unum. She carries that literally in her veins and in that sense, he doesn’t know who we are and if you don't know us then you can't represent us, you certainly can't lead us
