@Tamer_Onder I defended my PhD thesis on March 15th. I didn't get stabbed as many times as that other guy...

[Willy Lensch @DOC_DNA]

@drtolutolu The thought of you two working together makes me exceptionally happy.

@BhadeliaMD My homeland. I'm glad you got to see it. 😁

The word hero is often overused—not here. #PaulFarmer was a hero—selfless, courageous, humble, kind, funny.

How many truly leave the world a better place? Paul was one.

Working with him was one of the greatest privileges of my years at #HMS. Shocked and saddened at this news.

[David Shaywitz @DShaywitz]

One reason there's such an outpouring of affection & emotion for Dr. Paul Farmer is that, in our highly performative age, he was the real deal; he truly lived the ideals of doctoring that so many of us imperfectly aspired and aspire to - with humility, grace, passion, love. @PIH

[Harold J. Burstein, MD, PhD, FASCO @DrHBurstein]

A loss for the entire medical world. Paul inspired students and practitioners across the globe, and all-but-created the field of global health as currently understood.

@rmgiadone This better be in your CV...

[Harvard Medical School @harvardmed]

It is with a sense of profound sadness that Harvard Medical School learned today of the tragic passing of Professor Paul Farmer, a physician, a medical anthropologist, and a humanitarian who dedicated his life to improving human health on a global scale https://t.co/tIR62zaZw3

He once told me that he saw me as a poet. It was just a comment made in passing, but it made me happy. He was a shining soul who gave of himself to help the most unfortunate of people around the world. Paul Farmer, may you rest in peace. What a staggering loss. #PaulFarmer @PIH

@BhadeliaMD Done. 😷

@drtolutolu @TheBCRP @BostonChildrens Tolu, I would want you to take care of my kids.

@MizWithers A few days before I got married, my bride-to-be had a dinner with besties in town for the wedding. I found out where they were dining and arranged to have nice bottles sent to the table, compliments of the groom. I still hear about this today. Perhaps my smoothest move ever.

[Willy Lensch @DOC_DNA]

@MizWithers She's simply the best!

@penguinusa My sonny as Hunter S. himself. I helped to make the cig and holder. Not sure if that makes me a good pop or not...

[Willy Lensch @DOC_DNA]

@DonOrsillo I'm sorry you lost your friend.

[Willy Lensch @DOC_DNA]

Rem Dog, you were the best. Thank you for making me smile over so many years, especially when the Sox were making me cry.

[Dennis Eckersley @Eck43]

Red Sox nation has lost a beloved icon. I lost a longtime friend, teammate and broadcast partner. He will be remembered for his passion for the @RedSox. I will miss him most for his infectious laugh. Fenway Park will never be the same. #RedSoxNation @NESN

@NorthTrista @WGoessling @BBS_Harvard Happy birthday, Herr Dr. Dr. Goessling!

[Ben Humphreys @HumphreysLab]

I am so happy that my friend and colleague Dr. Aubrey Morrison's portrait is now installed here @WUSTLmed! @StLouisAmerican @WUDeptMedicine
