What happens to attention/processing speed functioning after brain radiation? We evaluated injury to the corpus callosum and intrahemispheric white matter & correlated with cognitive function. New results out in @ASTRO_org #RedJournal! https://t.co/aofEk30KTl. THREAD: 🧵🧵🧵 1/n

Man it really bothers me when people label certain specialty residency programs as “easy.” All it does is invalidate any mental/physical challenges trainees may have, and it’s just flat out wrong.

5, eh?😅

Standard fractionation = I give you a small piece of chocolate every day for like 2 months

Hypofractionation = Larger piece of chocolate for 4 weeks

Ultrafractionation = HUGE piece 5 days in a row😉

IMRT = I am gonna throw the chocolate at you from more than 4 directions 🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫

I would like to share the story of how a patient with cancer came up with the idea for a randomized trial, & how listening to him saved a lot of lives.

1/ In 2002, I had just completed a randomized trial with the notorious drug thalidomide for the cancer, multiple myeloma.

[Minh Huynh-Le, MD, MAS @MHuynhLe]

@DrAntoParavati Not 100% sure but I think the hospital only got the rad onc sim charges overall. rad onc was a division of the radiology department, but rad onc billing was done separately from diagnostic rad billing. The ct sim images would be autopushed to pacs, then queued to rads.

@Cancer_talks Beautiful! Have fun!

I woke up this morning and saw this on the front of @TheLancet. A quote from my manuscript. As the feature article. A narrative.

Whew.

Along with redefining what a professor looks like, it makes me happy to help expand what scholarship looks like, too.

Yeah.

This is Hachikō. He was an Akita born on Nov. 10, 1923 in Japan. He was sold to Hidesaburo Ueno, a scientist at the University of Tokyo. Ueno named him Hachi after the number 8, which is considered lucky in Japan, and the two became inseparable...

Medical interns will be starting their new careers this week. I think it's important for the public to know a few things about our new colleagues:
1) In teaching hospitals, we work as a team; interns ARE physicians who learn by watching, then doing, with graduated autonomy.

TOP TEN TIPS FOR NEW INTERNS

June 24th, 2005 was my first day of internship so I'm celebrating my 18th anniversary as a practicing doctor by invoking my Oslerian right as a grizzled attending to dispense unsolicited advice to younger physicians
