@Sblahov I practiced GI at Sibley for 32 yrs. I know about this problem. I can help you. DM me.

[Elisabeth Rosenthal @RosenthalHealth]

I write about this kind of "drive-by-doctoring" in my book, #AnAmericanSickness. Would not fly in any other sector. DM me.

And when we marshal our resources to attain the unattainable (a “cure” in the face of a terminal illness) we lose control

[Sandro Galea @sandrogalea]

“As working adults, we routinely recognize there are things beyond our control…when it comes to disease, we have a hard time recognizing what is unattainable.” Thank you @gapyearsam for your words on how patients can better engage with the dying process. #BUSPHSymposia

[Kem Sawyer @kemsawyer]

What is key question patients should ask? Says moderator @MoranWriter They should push their doctors to talk about what’s important to them, says Sam Harrington @gapyearsam #BUSPHSymposia @pulitzercenter

[Sam Harrington @gapyearsam]

I am looking forward to being on a panel at @BUSPH's Feb. 12, 2019 Symposium on Death and Dying. I am delighted to note that the abbreviation for BU's School of Public Health [SPH] is reminiscent of my initials. Coincidence?https://t.co/SHKZX7M2sK

You betcha. They bear an enormous share of the responsibility-intentionally misrepresenting the safety of their products.

My article in the @washingtonpost on a topic that too few discuss https://t.co/1rFLhjhSUQ?

[Sam Harrington @gapyearsam]

Thank you @AnnaBeckMD for the thumbs up. It's an important topic that few discuss enough.

[Anna Beck, MD @AnnaBeckMD]

Kudos for fleshing out options for patients facing #EOL, @gapyearsam Choosing your own exit. For some who are terminally ill, hastening their own death may be the answer. https://t.co/effflFmd5B
