@drbeckta @free_radical28 Glad the Mad Men era of medicine is over

[liradonc @liradonc]

@drbeckta @free_radical28 Speaking of sexism in medicine…in 1987, our med school decided to use “Anesthesia for the Uninterested”, (published 1976), as a required med student textbook. Sample instructive photos. There was a well deserved revolt…

Bryan Boughton, who runs the Fox News Washington bureau and is the current TV pool chair, says in an email; ”This is to advise that, effective today, the TV pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of the President.”

“This follows the White House’s position preventing CNN from fulfilling its assigned pool duties. There will be no replacement pool put in place.” Via @brianstelter

@KoneruMd Great work! Any updates on AETNA/Evicore coverage issues beginning 11/5/26?

Oh man, this story is so UPLIFTING (without being corny). It's one of the best stories I've read in a very long time -- and a welcome break from AI.
Enjoy the free article!

@Prof_IanD @adamcifu Interesting. Had not heard of this in the US.

[liradonc @liradonc]

@Prof_IanD @adamcifu Agreed. On routine follow-up of a patient (for prostate cancer!), I found a neck mass on palpation. Asked him to open mouth, found a tonsillar mass. Now undergoing chemoRT.

@GIMedOnc Hard to believe. Is this AI gone wrong?

Must-read article for anyone whose job involves *thinking*

"The problem with writing with A.I. is that it’s mentally enfeebling...
What, uniquely, does writing do? ... It compels thinking in ways that silent contemplation or spoken language rarely can."

@shailinthomas We already have enough of those. Keep the memes coming.

@TylerSbrt @DVAraujoMD @cpeedell @yao_zhu_sh @KolPulseAI @NikiSushentsev Do you counsel patients considering both options that they may be more likely to require salvage RT with surgery, if crib+ on bx?

[liradonc @liradonc]

@KoneruMd @ASTRO_org Important, because as per Bridge Oncology, LDRT will no longer be covered for OA by Evicore and Aetna starting November. I’m curious as to how this is even possible…

[liradonc @liradonc]

@TylerSbrt7 Great thread. Are you using crib+ to counsel against surgery in patients who are otherwise candidates for RP?

[liradonc @liradonc]

@jryckman3 @TonyFelefly @PDBrownOnc @JoachimYahalom @brandon_imber @NCCN For TN and Her2neu+ specifically I mean

[liradonc @liradonc]

@jryckman3 @TonyFelefly @PDBrownOnc @JoachimYahalom @brandon_imber @NCCN Agree, guidance is limited. But I’ve not been offering RT in this setting based on ASTRO refresher course

[liradonc @liradonc]

@DrMedPhys @MadMen_AMC @aapmHQ @medicalphysics Rewatching Mad Men now. I thought I had dreamt this 😂

[liradonc @liradonc]

@Alan_Couzens Any specific advice for diabetics for increasing exercise tolerance? (Aside from maintaining good glucose control).

[liradonc @liradonc]

@CanesDavid Have seen it go to 3+4=7, which is...quite the change

[Josh Barro @jbarro]

This is exactly what happened in 1974 -- we have tried permanent daylight saving time before, and the House repealed it after a few months by a vote of 383-16 because it was widely hated. But some people refuse to learn history. https://t.co/nXYipOUf2X
