@marklewismd Pssssst, Mark, this is why you have ONCOLOGIST friends.
Can't you talk with her about, I don't know, Star Trek? Or Taylor Swift? Or...ice cream? Or something!?
@marklewismd hahahahaha.
I have seen this graph--which, as I understand, remains a highly contested one as to its ability to explain why some tumors respond so well to IO and others don't (which is almost always why it's cited)--sooooooooo many times.
Will include @JayWellons5 —author of All That Moves Us—and a pediatric neurosurgeon.
Whatever you think of me, my two co-panelists are among the most accomplished and skillful living doctor/authors and both bring deep insights to the session.
@marklewismd Mark, my friend. We really need to have a talk. You could think of it as…an intervention. A loving intervention by friends who want you to know: there *is* life beyond the Krebs cycle.
It was an honor to interview Dr Griggs as she discussed witnessing real heroism and as we grapples with the meaning of having come through something as harrowing at the pandemic.
In this episode of The Doctor's Art #podcast, #PediatricSurgeon and writer @CorneliaLG shares harrowing and personal stories that define courage and resilience from the early days of the #COVID#pandemic. In addition, she explores the mindset of a #surgeon and what enables her to persevere through the most complicated of cases.

@marklewismd Thanks, Mark. Her loss leaves such an aching hole the rest of us will need to work together to fill, even if we can never fully succeed in doing so.
Hey #MedTwitter and everyone else: I'm a cancer doctor. A quite sick patient of mine really, really wants to meet Taylor Swift. I know this is the longest of long shots but I'm gonna ask if anyone has any leads. Here's hoping :)
@StallionCornell@5boyzdad Elder Kearon’s insistence about the relentless pursuit of God’s love, of God’s indefatigable questing to reclaim each of Their children, was eloquent, forceful, and resonant.
@EliMcCann The first day of my last year of training, while our littles held signs saying “first day of kindergarten,” etc., I was made to hold one saying “first day of 27th grade.” 🙄
@Dr_M_Tejani We have a woman c MSI-H recurrent (metastatic) PDAC s/p whipple who seems to be progression through IO c no period of response, to our great sadness and frustration.
I have only ever had one other pt c clear MSI-H PDAC, he’s not progressed on IO….over 7 y.
