“They just told me I have cancer. It’s everywhere in my body. And you say you’re a kidney doctor? What the hell are you doing here?” His voice is gruff, and as he looks at me, I feel the weight of his gaze. For a moment I hesitate, then ask. “Mind if I sit down?” 1/

One of the emotions I struggle with most as an oncologist is guilt In trying to help, I still do harm, and cannot always discern therapeutic benefit So these beyond-gracious words from a patient’s widow are a balm to my queasy conscience Sometimes I wonder who’s treating whom

Help your child learn about the changes they are experiencing around them, from masks to social distancing to showing affection for their friends & family from afar. Teach them important concepts such as health inequities, racial inequality, and vaccination! #kidsbooks 🔗 in Bio!
