Price transparency, Operation Warp Speed, Lowering prices of Generic Drugs, protecting patients with pre-existing conditions, etc. POTUS has done great good in the health space! TDS & vitriol does not reflect intelligence, it reflects BIAS. Acting as overlords is not virtue!

Is it true that paralysis from spinal injuries may not be reversed? If not true, how? My Dad has an intact cord but that was compressed by trauma. Where can I find the best science & tech on this? How to create an exception?

The Creative Arts is a big part of how I recovered body, soul & spirit after stage 4 breast cancer. Being part of this phenomenal Christmas production for 7 years even as I received treatments @StanfordCancer center helped bring me back to life & health. https://t.co/rB47Un3M4n

[Victoria Ferro @VictoriaVFerro]

Grateful for 7 yrs as cast or crew or promo producer of the phenomenal @Bethlehem_AD After 27 years, a physical production which entails a cast of hundreds would not be possible. But a wonderful video walkthru video (33 mins) premiered this week. Bravo! https://t.co/gLfUN80OC5

As #GivingTuesday winds down, close out your year with a tax deductible #donation that could truly make a world of difference to #patients struggling with #advancedcancer or other life threatening disease. Thank you for your support!

Happy Thanksgiving Week!
My shock at the stories & statistics of exacerbations & deaths within the cancer community at a @Roche event on Cancer & Covid19 last month motivated me to do this. https://t.co/xZ6hp9ujt8

[Victoria V. Ferro @TheUnPatientRev]

Love this rant because it is above politics and calls out health influencers and journalists in the age of Covid19

[Dr. Mike Varshavski @RealDoctorMike]

I have NEVER gotten into as many @Twitter feuds as I have this week 😫 And it’s all surrounding @realDonaldTrump #COVID19 diagnosis 🙏🏼⛑👉🏼 https://t.co/v3ILm73lBa

I'm all for encouraging curiosity in medical students AND physicians, otherwise where does one get the practice and impetus to find creative solutions to seemingly intractable problems? Yes. Please.

"Allowing doctors to express their curiosity is crucial and it's time we encourage all medical trainees to be curious." Physician Amitha Kalaichandran (@DrAmithaMD) writes about nurturing #curiosity in #MedicalStudents and #MedicalSchool. https://t.co/PPx3KUQO6n #ScopeAt10000
