NYU University Gallatin Student Chair Logan Rozo,
"I've been freaking out a lot about this speech, honestly, and as I search my heart today in addressing you, all my moral and political commitments guide me to say that the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large um is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine"
"I want to say that the genocide currently occurring is supported politically and militarily by the United States, is paid for by our tax dollars, and has been live streamed to our phones for the past 18 months"
"And that I do not wish to speak only to my own politics today, but speak for all people of conscience, all people who feel the moral injury of this atrocity"
"And I want to say that I condemn this genocide and complicity in this genocide"
"Thank you to the class of 2025 and congratulations"

I always believed we needed more physicians in government so they could act as good advocates for science. Now I am not so sure. You are a disgrace to our profession.
Woohoo!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dr. Kathy Reeves offers inspiring remarks on the ways to truly empower students to make a difference in connection. #meded #healthcare #humanism

The @UCSDCompassion team came in full force to the @GoldFdtn #2024GoldSummit! ⚡They're in Atlanta, GA, sharing the novel empathy & compassion programs & curricula at @UCSDMedSchool, and teaching #meded & #healthcare leaders how to implement it in their schools of medicine, too.

The amazing Josh Robinson has brought his talents and perspective on music's ability to express the often unexpressed to the #2024GoldSummit!

#2024GoldSummit no better way to start a summit (or anything) - drums and HS band! Such a privilege to be in this beautiful, melodic space #MedEd

The spectacular @gradydoctor gave a powerhouse speech on humanism in action & the importance of recognizing the human being in front of you. Thank you, Dr. Manning, for keeping the flame of humanism strong & bright!🌼

May you never see this MRI or scar in your own baby and experience the hell we are going through firsthand, reviewers @bluecrossidaho. But while you are denying others’ care from the comfort of your office, removed from it all, please remember you are toying with a LIFE here.

1/Please share this thread on behalf of my physician colleague, Eunice Stallman, who is facing the nightmare of her 9mo daughter, Zoey, being diagnosed with brain cancer several weeks ago. @BlueCrossIdaho has added to their anguish by obstructing access to vital treatment.
Cindy Chang, MD MEd retweeted
Hi @bluecrossidaho. This is my daughter that you tried to deny care for. When a team of expert Drs recommend a treatment, your PharmD reviewers don’t get to deny her life-saving care for your profits. Your alternative rec: “Talk with your child’s Dr about other options”. What?!

10/ We must hold them accountable. Accountable to Zoey who deserves this medication for however long HER DOCTORS deem necessary. Accountable for every human in this country equally deserving as Zoey. #StandUpForZoey #StandUpForAll

9/ Insurance companies are counting on it. They know that you will not have the time, knowledge, strength, or health to overcome their barriers.
Cindy Chang, MD MEd retweeted
8/Zoey’s parents are fortunate to have connections and flexibility to take time away from work to fight these road blocks. Imagine being too sick to advocate for yourself, or non english speaking, or unable to afford taking hours off work to wait on the phone.
Cindy Chang, MD MEd retweeted
7/ Doctors expect Zoey will need this drug for 6m-1y to shrink the tumor enough for surgery, costing the family an astronomical amount IF @bluecrossidaho even approves it past 90 days at all.
Cindy Chang, MD MEd retweeted
6/ @EStallmanMD then contacts an investigative journalist who notified BC of her involvement and requested appeal documents. Within hours of being contacted, BC approved Lorlatinib with a $5k/month copay and a letter that Zoey will have to undergo review again in 90 days.
