Most patients don't realize their doctors and nurses think about them in the spaces between visits. While walking to the parking lot, driving home, brushing teeth… even before falling asleep. Our work is a part of us, and we really care about you. That's all.

I'm an oncologist serving a rural/frontier population (as well as patients who live locally but understandably like the convenience of virtual visits) Telehealth expansion was a silver lining of COVID I think it's short-sighted to rollback its coverage public-inspection.federalreg…

Amazing talk @RuthGotian! Insightful and inspiring and I'm ready to dig in more!! @TriIMDPhD
Another full ⭕️ moment. Amazing running into my fab @TriIMDPhD alumna, @BSantomasso (now a neuro-oncologist @MSKCancerCenter) at @NeuroOnc, right before my talk on academic success. I wonder who I will run into next.

The Supreme Court has gone rogue. We are in a full-blown Constitutional crisis. Congress must act. And we must pressure Congress to act, while it still can. #TheMajority

We in the medical community need to advocate to change this discriminatory policy. Our patients deserve expert care no matter where they live. Many can’t afford to travel to specialized hospitals and telehealth gives them the opportunity to get the care they deserve. #medtwitter
State laws restricting out of state video visits without licensure are absurd and frankly abusive to patients - at a point where some patients want to drive out of their home state to do a video visit from their car in a parking lot in another location where it is “legal”….

Shame on @FoxNews to “victimize” 2 unvaccinated RNs for being terminated from a cancer hospital full of immunocompromised patients. Clearly they think about themselves and NOT the patients whose lives are at stake; find another career where stakes aren’t as high #MedTwitter

Moises is one of our @WCMCNeurology Education Track neurology residents and is clearly destined for great things as a neurology teacher- and clinician!
Check out my illustration on the course of the oculomotor nerve with its associated sites of injury! Patients with an oculomotor (CN III) nerve palsy can present with binocular horizontal, vertical, or oblique diplopia and ptosis. (1/3)
