Great evening with inspiring women!

[Yale Hematology Oncology Fellows @YaleHemOnc]

Last week, we collaborated with the Committee on Status of Women in Medicine (SWIM) at @YaleMed to host a dinner supporting the incredible women in Hematology/Oncology at @YaleCancer. We feel so lucky to be inspired and empowered by this amazing group every single day!

I encourage everyone to watch this entire @jaketapper segment which lays bare how deeply evil and cynical Hamas and its top funder the Islamic Republic are.

This does not mean governments are off the hook, but Hamas and the Islamic Republic do not wish for freedom... all they want is death, destruction, and subjugation.

Useful and practical! Find our consensus guidelines for the treatment of VHL published here. I was lucky to be involved in this large group effort! https://t.co/cUynsmkGat @YaleCancer @VUMCHemOnc

Agree! Immediately practice changing! Low risk, low cost, high benefit. Sadly not surprising that something with so little financial incentive was not done in the US…

This might be most practice changing study I heard at #ASCO23 #survonc
Widely available, affordable, addresses major QoL and dose delivery issue 👏🏼

[Laura Van Metre Baum @LauraVanBaum]

Yes! This is the elephant in the room - lots of good interventions and ideas but need to be willing to pay for them. Great session today for supportive oncology! and shoutout to moderator @SESchellhorn

@avizollman @Macys @ToysRUs This is unreasonable given that they were purchased with real money. https://t.co/e38JeMT2g2 should certainly honor them

Not a doctor tweet but one as a concerned patient. I went to New Haven Dental Group. Despite having been seen in Nashville 6mos prior, they said I needed 3 fillings (which I had done)... I came back 6mos later for cleaning. No X-rays. The dentist said: 6 more fillings... (1/n)

[Laura Van Metre Baum @LauraVanBaum]

My husband said I should report it. Not sure how so sharing here. Many people told me, "this is so common." Only go to dentist "with a good referral." Always get 2nd opinion if fishy. Finally a shout out to excellent Yale health insurance for covering the transfer to new doc. fin

[Laura Van Metre Baum @LauraVanBaum]

I saw the new dentist yesterday. Cleaning and exam. She said there are "no concerns." She reviewed X-rays from Nashville (NHDG had not sent theirs). She said likely didn't need any of the fillings. Once a drill enters a tooth though... Anyway, I found it very disturbing (3/n)
