As a medical profession we need to take posts like this one seriously
It is a big problem (and undermines any hope of therapeutic alliance) if our patients don’t feel heard
In fact I would argue that our jobs, both diagnostically and therapeutically, are easier when we listen

Absolutely incredible !!!! I have really enjoyed following this beautiful success story. So exciting to see it published and hoping many more patients benefit from this breakthrough
I am very proud to be part of the amazing team of researchers, scientists and clinicians who are all co-authors of the important research publication just released in Nature Medicine. The paper documents changes in my brain tumour & blood before and after I received neoadjuvant systemic combination immunotherapy treatment, which occurred in 2023.
Everyone involved, including lead authors Georgina Long and Helen Rizos, used their expertise, knowledge and creative intellect to generate this important data just released.
Whilst the paper deals with the data from just one patient (me), ultimately a clinical trial of a large group of patients needs to be conducted to determine whether or not neoadjuvant (pretreatment) combination immunotherapy is clinically effective in (a subgroup of) brain cancer patients. I hope such a trial begins in the not too distant future.
Congratulations to everyone who has contributed to this research. What a fantastic achievement!
But this is only the beginning & much more research is required to improve treatment and outcomes and ultimately save lives.

Big reason why we're working so hard at @WhisperAero to quiet the skies
Through daytime stress and nighttime sleep disturbances, loud sounds can hurt your heart and blood vessels, disrupt your endocrine system, and make it difficult to think and learn. trib.al/14gBbeP

One of my patients (who labels himself a #PriorAuthSurvivor) diagrammed the unnecessary complexity of trying to get his medication approved on time 👇
Rinse & repeat and this is a cyclic nightmare that has nothing to do with chemo but rather the bureaucracy of US healthcare

OK hear me out: a Hallmark movie where a cold-hearted insurance executive comes home for the holidays to small-town America, needs an emergency appendectomy on Christmas Eve, falls in love with his surgeon, and vows to fix the prior auth system as part of becoming a better man
