My patient’s wife made a hand-made quilt with stethoscope design. It took her a few months to make it. She told me she appreciated what I have done for her husband and wanted to make sure I keep warm in the winter. I love my patients and their families ❤️ #medtwitter#gratitude

Sorry the pun 🥸🤡, but for me this was RIGHTly the most interesting data from the 1st day of #SABCS22.
Visceral crisis is a dramatic situation where chemo has always been the choice, but which ribo plus letrozole has shown to be more effective with less AEs
@OncoAlert#bcsm
Many important findings from the updated results of #TAILORx. After 11 years of follow up, still no benefit from chemo in patients with RS 11-25. Some benefit in younger patients with RS 21-25 (OFS?). Late recurrences >5 years exceeded early recurrences. #SABCS22#bcsm
12-year follow up confirms that patients w/ recurrence score of <25 can omit chemotherapy, with some chemo benefit for premenopausal women (<50yrs) with RS 21-25. #SABCS22
Happy to share our now published #DB03 update!

The word for sick in Persian/ Farsi is “Bimar.”, which literally translates to “without a snake”. This is due to the fact Persians kept a snake in their yard/garden and believed rats carried diseases so if someone was sick they didnt own a snake to protect their home. #MedTwitter
Awful news that the great Pelé has been moved to end-of-life palliative care after he stopped responding to chemotherapy. The only footballer in history to win 3 World Cups, and an icon of the game at the level of Muhammad Ali in boxing. So sad. 🥲
3 years ago on November 30: A man in Wuhan, China starts feeling ill and later becomes the first confirmed case of COVID-19. More than 6.6 million people have since died #MedTwitter
This is unbelievable…
Watch @J_Klinsmann dismiss brown athletes, from Iran to Guatemala, repeatedly saying “this is their culture”, while the host and other guests are sitting there listening to him go on and on, live on @BBCSport.
