To my knowledge, this is the first session of its kind at an ASCO annual meeting.

Will include @JayWellons5 —author of All That Moves Us—and a pediatric neurosurgeon.
Whatever you think of me, my two co-panelists are among the most accomplished and skillful living doctor/authors and both bring deep insights to the session.

It was an honor to interview Dr Griggs as she discussed witnessing real heroism and as we grapples with the meaning of having come through something as harrowing at the pandemic.

In this episode of The Doctor's Art #podcast, #PediatricSurgeon and writer @CorneliaLG shares harrowing and personal stories that define courage and resilience from the early days of the #COVID #pandemic. In addition, she explores the mindset of a #surgeon and what enables her to persevere through the most complicated of cases.

Hey #MedTwitter and everyone else: I'm a cancer doctor. A quite sick patient of mine really, really wants to meet Taylor Swift. I know this is the longest of long shots but I'm gonna ask if anyone has any leads. Here's hoping :)

Have saved tens of thousands of lives.
That all said, as a Senator he has been the rare example of genuine political courage and the willingness to actually compromise to get things done.
It’s fitting that he would outshine both DJT and JRB with a truly Washingtonian exit.

This strikes me as powerful advice.

If you’re unsure of the next step in your path, act “as if” you were the person you would like to be. As you do that, you will grow into that kind of person. Ultimately, your very actions, your attitude, will lead you toward being the kind of person you want to be.

More of this sentiment.
The pandemic was really, really hard and taught me this:
We all need grace and space.
And we can all help heal the world by offering it to everyone around us.

Twitter is a very annoying place sometimes but it means the world to me that a lot of the people I find here give me and others the benefit of the doubt. We are at our best when we give each other grace.

And he means his religion.
It’s not pretense or show, neither ie he embarrassed or chagrined by it.
He loves it and loves it.
His service in this capacity will bless many lives.
We are so lucky he’ll be there.

@spencerfluhman it may well be that there is no more difficult, fraught, complicated, and weighty job in the church than exec director of the NAMI.
The NAMI matters enormously because it allows church members who think a lot to see a way that that thinking can be…

My friendship with JB has shown me that he has *exactly* the very rare dual skill set needed to excel at this job.
He is fantastically smart and actually humble.
Not pretentiously “I’m gonna see if I can fit in with the common folk” pretend humble.
Actually humble.

As I reflect on a year plus of the podcast, this is one of the conversations we’ve been luckiest to have.
Moving.
Profound.
Even transformative.

Hey medical trainees:
The points made here as achingly true.
Training for medicine requires a sacrifice of time—but that cannot mean abandoning the things that mean the most:

The idea that obesity is a vice is obsolete, as is the idea that these drugs are a “vanity” project.
Obesity has deep genetic and cultural roots that make individual progress in enduringly losing weight exceptionally difficult.

It is likely the evidence supporting the benefits of these drugs will continue to accumulate.
They should be covered.
It’s not even close.
The cost savings in serious disease prevented—not to mention the years of quality life gained—will very likely be spectacular.

I can hardly overstate how excited I am to receive today The Annotated Book of Mormon (@OUPReligion), ed. Grant Hardy. This is truly a landmark that stands in the proud tradition of the Oxford Annotated Bible. It's a gift to scholars & to the ecumenical church. @Ch_JesusChrist

As a fellow in oncology about ten years ago, I met @SunitaPuriMD, who was a palliative care fellow at the same time.
Little did I know then she would go on to become a renowned physician author, publishing a memoir and in the NYT and NYer.

We sat down to talk with her a few weeks ago on The Doctor’s Art and found ourselves discussing insights into life, death, meaning, spirituality, and the moments that make medicine mean the most.

In a world defined most often by deconstruction and criticism, often even by cynicism, I admire her ability to speak constructively about difficult problems, and to recognize grace and beauty and not just problems.
I hope you’ll take a listen.
