If your doctor doesn’t have time to answer your questions, perhaps he/she shouldn’t be your doctor #radonc #bcsm #lcsm

@drbeckta @SprakerMDPhD @Icro_Meattini @Sushilberiwal @CShahMD I use SGRT with DIBH on APBI with VMAT. I do create an ITV and add 5mm for PTV

@drmoneymatters Follow the money. Goes to med staff fund for each individual hospital in my experience

[Luis Carrascosa @flradonc]

@toddscarbrough @ASTRO_org Our dues at work. Like they didn’t have anything more important to do with their time (which we pay for), such as fixing the mess they have created. Sorry to see you have had to waste your time having to respond to such nonsense.

@drbeckta @evicorehc Evilcore!

[Luis Carrascosa @flradonc]

@PDBrownOnc @AcceleratorsRO Agree very interesting and helps put things in perspective.

[Luis Carrascosa @flradonc]

@KColvett There is a guy doing BID for many weeks with photons at 100-110 cGy per fraction for melanoma, breast, prostate, GBM, and anything else he can, claiming it’s “gentler”, maybe gentler to his bank account . Rad onc being given a bad rep due to a few profit motivated bad actors

@toddscarbrough @CNN @astro @cnn sledgehammer special treatment procedure

[Luis Carrascosa @flradonc]

@SprakerMDPhD Agree, that is why I’m part of a physician led group where I have experienced what good MD leadership can accomplish

@A_Dove5 @jryckman3 Please share if possible

@EvanThomas84 @AnthemBCBS @ASTRO_org @the_RSS @ISRSy @JohnRAdler @DrewMoghanaki @OSUWexMed @DalmBrian @VarianMedSys @ZapSurgical @Accuray Which proves peer review is just a waste of time

[Luis Carrascosa @flradonc]

@MorrellMDmph @VPrasadMDMPH @AaronGoodman33 Wait, did you really think XRT is only used for malignancy?

[Luis Carrascosa @flradonc]

@Edgar_Balsells Ya te acurruchichaste lo del dinerario

@ParikhSimul @evicorehc Evilcore would like for us to tape the forehead and use a lead block for the eye and hope for the best like we did in the 90’s (and before), that is what 2D is!! It is a shame they even utter the words 2D in late 2023. wake up #radonc

@jmmrad @seanmmcbride @ParikhSimul @MWeismanMD @ASTRO_org @DigiaimoRon @WashURadOnc Dr. Michalski, I respect your work, we have met a couple of times. Very different academic vs private practice. We need to act as a specialty to improve RadOnc recognition and valuable role

[Luis Carrascosa @flradonc]

@ParikhSimul @jmmrad @seanmmcbride @MWeismanMD @ASTRO_org @DigiaimoRon @WashURadOnc Exactly, we need to help each other at the specialty level rather than looking down on some

[Luis Carrascosa @flradonc]

@jmmrad @seanmmcbride @ParikhSimul @MWeismanMD @ASTRO_org @DigiaimoRon @WashURadOnc I get your point, but this is academic arrogance a la ASTRO. Do you think every #radonc can do that without burning referral sources??

[Luis Carrascosa @flradonc]

@ProtonStorey @jryckman3 @NCCN @ASTRO_org @ACRORadOnc I’m willing to be proven wrong. And also wiling to help

[Luis Carrascosa @flradonc]

@ProtonStorey @jryckman3 @NCCN @ASTRO_org @ACRORadOnc Astro assist? I would be shocked

[Luis Carrascosa @flradonc]

@toddscarbrough Like the guy in Florida treating prostate BID because it’s more gentle- to his checkbook
