@pashtoonkasi @Doc_JinKim @NEJM @OncoAlert Immunotherapy might have a much tougher time when faced with the bulk of tumor rather than "mopping up" residual cells. Also, some of those TILs have suppressor cell features.

If Donald is back on Twitter, I’m out. For a smart guy, Musk doesn’t understand the “social” in social media. Why give a platform to someone incapable of knowing or caring about the truth.

@kjdelay1 Actually, no. If by books, you mean those printed on paper, if that paper is produced from sustainable sources, they actually sequester carbon, and thus might be net positive for the environment.

@BIDMCSurgery @BIDMChealth Congratulations! Welcome to a long, proud tradition.

@TsengJennifer @callie_mt Chair letters are like any other; if the Chair actually knows and has worked with or at least interacted with the student, and contribute new knowledge to the assessment of the candidate,they are valuable. If not, then not so much.

Absolutely!

@ThaddeusPope Ah, Thad, that’s the rub. CPR was (1) never designed to prolong dying at the end of life, and (2) is far less effective than generally assumed by the lay public or seen on TV. It rarely returns the patient to their pre-morbid state.

[Michael Shapiro @shapirotx]

@ThaddeusPope Thad, would this ruling permit a physician or hospital to refuse to perform CPR for a patient for whom it was deemed futile?

@FilipinoSurgeon Wrong answer: hernia repair.

@jashapiro_writr @kidlitjenny And yet, that’s very informal for a business communication.

my favorite Bible story just might be the one where Jesus votes against disaster aid for his own constituents and then goes on twitter to blame Joe Biden for not getting anything done

This is your regular reminder that when Democrats voted to lower health care costs, lower Rx drug prices, and crack down on millionaire tax cheats every single republican in Congress voted no.

[Michael Shapiro @shapirotx]

@JBMatthews Going to try.

[Michael Shapiro @shapirotx]

@JBMatthews Thanks, Jeff.
