Today @JAMAOnc published results of the MAGENTA study by @SwisherLab, @LizSwisher & @KarenLuMD. In 3.8k participants, skipping counseling after screening for inherited risk for cancer did not increase distress for those with negative results. Learn more at https://t.co/VlzOUxadB3

@AnneMillsMD @Aetna So frustrating. I spend hours doing these appeals for my cancer patients, usually to no avail. My patients have literally said to me "my insurance company wants me to die" and I have no answer.

@SRuhle It's greed, pure and simple. A great reason to switch your interest to @LPGA.

@Andrew_Akbashev 💯 ! also, there's the nepotism inherent in unblinded review and the publication IFs of women and minority scientists are lower not because of poor science. Hanging too much on IFs in hiring and promotion contributes to discrimination and reduces diversity. Impact matters not IFs

Great work by @UWashOBGYN intern extraordinaire @Joyce_y_Wang! In 3 years you want to match this one in your gynonc fellowship!

It really does not matter if a fertilized egg is a person or not. As long as I can’t force you to donate a kidney or bone marrow or part of your liver to save a life, you can’t force anyone to risk their life and health with a pregnancy. https://t.co/BecqB7q0H5
