What REALLY makes a good oncologist? in @JCO_ASCO

After 10 years and 203 JCO essays, one thing became clear: expertise alone isn’t enough.

Patient-centered care.
Clear, authentic communication.
Emotional intelligence.

And the harder work

Showing up again and again.
Openness to uncertainty.
Carrying the burden of cancer care.

Continuous growth.

Clinical competence is expected
Human connection makes the difference.

Science treats disease.
Presence treats fear.

Mirtazapine for breathlessness?
Evidence does not support its use.
In a similar fashion to using Clonazepam for pain it is probably helpful in a small number of people who have anxiety and poor sleep associated with their symptoms.

Hats off to @ReginaBarCar who (w @ZeynepZengin @YaleIMed) put together a beautiful overview of #microbiome modulation for the treatment of #solidtumors in @JCO_ASCO. Citing work from innovative #scientists & #trialists in the field like #Routy, #ElKrief, @d@derosa__lisa, #Zitvogel, @J@JenWargoMD, @diwakardavar, @DrIacovelli et al. Proud of Dr. Barragan-Carrillo, who is building a world-class #GU #oncology program at @incanMX after her time at @cityofhope! @Betzabe100 @ogarrieta @anelcabrera

Terminal agitation - A palliative care thread 🧵

This is not a thread on delirium near end of life.
Although severe delirium can lead to agitation, almost all delirium in the last days of life can be managed with non-pharmacological support or small doses of medicine

@DocApplebaum @EnriqueSoto8 @IcahnMountSinai Congratulations! They are lucky to have you

[Tony Duffy @Existential_Doc]

New therapeutic options don’t come along often in palliative care. When they do there is often understandable hesitancy to introduce these into practice. Clonidine is a good example of this so I wanted to explore more with this thread 🧵 👇
