Our study showed a higher burden of #ClonalHematopoiesis in #WTC first responders. I hope this study raises more awareness on the health challenges they face, and leads to further screening in a larger cohort. Thank you @Amitvermamds for always being an amazing mentor!

First responders to the World Trade Center disaster have a high burden of somatic mutations in blood cells, raising their risk for cancer and other diseases and highlighting the need for enhanced health screening of these individuals https://t.co/YahO34uwaJ

ELN 2017 and 2022 prognostic classifiers did not adequately stratify OS outcomes for patients with AML treated with venetoclax-azacitidine. https://t.co/ADbOo9RSbH #clinicaltrialsandobservations #myeloidneoplasia

Closure is a myth. Grief doesn't evaporate—it waxes and wanes.

The purpose of grief is not to cause pain. It's to keep memories of loved ones alive and remind us to make the most of our time.

Moving forward after loss is not about erasing sorrow. It's about gaining perspective.

#TipsForNewDocs

Strive to glean a nonmedical fact from every patient. From a 70M, I learned that he met his wife at the age of 5 and married her at 18.

Just one new fact and, a patient with a disease becomes a person!

It was lovely hearing @KB_Kirkland give a talk at @NNECOS_ONCOLOGY on the role of narrative practice in our clinical work. Thought provoking idea of how our expectation of perfection may contribute to moral injury.

[Sakshi Jasra @sjasraMD]

This week, we led first year medical students in an “Art of Observation” #narrativemedicine session at the Fleming Museum! Practicing close looking and reflective writing skills to better understand patient stories

@matthaig1 136 pages in and can’t put it down. The book manages to exquisitely put into words feelings I haven’t been able to define. Thank you for writing this beautiful book ❤️

My friends and I think a lot about what language to use with seriously ill patients and how it impacts healing. Sometimes we write about it for @MayoProceedings ❤️‍🩹@ProfLenBerry @gfgrafton
