Reminder for all young parents:
You only get:
- 1 Summer with your baby
- 3 with your toddler
- 9 with your child
- 5 with your teenager
This time is precious. Don’t rush it.
#Lungcancer doesn’t follow the rules, but screening guidelines still do. Study from @AnkitBharatMD et al @NorthwesternMed shows that 65% of ppl Dx w LC wouldn’t have qualified for screening - a gap we can’t ignore. Women & ppl w no tobacco most impacted.

The guilt is real. Each name finds its place there, quiet and heavy.
What surprises me still are the families who meet loss with gratitude—who somehow thank you through their own heartbreak. That grace stays with you far longer than the failure ever does.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a very very tough disease – the current drugs slow but do not reverse the decline in lung function
These are early data (phase 2a) but Taladegib, a hedgehog pathway inhibitor, looks like it increases lung capacity and improves lung function
This will be absolutely devastating in the medical field.
~30% residents are international medical graduates & ~10k of 43k residency spots are filled by docs with H1-B visas.
Previously the h-1B fee was <$5,000.
No hospital will pay a $100k fee for a $55k resident salary.

RFK Jr uses long scientific sounding words and talks very confidently.
He is therefore able to convince many that he knows what he is talking about.
But to actual experts it's very obvious he hasn't got a clue.
A sophisticated and successful con man.
