@CatherineCMayo @DNApodcast So true. I have taken advantage of emergency orders in multiple states since the pandemic began to get a temp license & see patients and family members in other states. Not looking forward to the day the flexibility goes away. This was a + outcome of the pandemic for me!

[Christina Rigelsky @ChristinaLGC]

No joke- I just had a patient ask me yesterday about the role of mitochondria in familial aortic disease. Wish I had seen this first!

@DrChad_FGC @adidas I have thought about this a lot as I get ready to buy my sons new shoes while they wear shoes others would have to wear much longer. Please DM me, I want to help.
