Mashup Score: 2PIECES OF YOU — Of Tumors And M.E.N. - 2 year(s) ago
When you meet an oncologist, their attention is necessarily divided. It might seem rude to multi-task in the middle of an introduction, impertinent as flirting with twins. Forgive the affront but we have precious little time to learn about our dual, dueling interests: you and your Significant Other.

Mashup Score: 1THE ROLLED STONES — Of Tumors And M.E.N. - 4 year(s) ago
The very phrasing of a doctor’s rounds implies repetition, the physician rotating around the hospital as if running laps. But in truth these circuits are never the same twice, our visits less rote than improvisational. You must budget time for patients whose answers are elasticized through analgesia

Mashup Score: 5A BELL WILL RING — Of Tumors And M.E.N. - 4 year(s) ago
As an oncologist I have seen debate swirl about whether patients completing chemotherapy ought to ring a bell as they ceremonially exit their infusion suite. As with the fighting metaphors of oncology, this is a practice that appeals to some but not to all. Here I envision what it might feel like fo

There’s been a lot of discussion this week about the value of ringing a bell when finishing chemo For some patients it is a massively resonant way to mark a milestone moment For others, particularly the incurable, it might strike the wrong note https://t.co/uiZ57TQjTT

Mashup Score: 2BECOMING JANUS — Of Tumors And M.E.N. - 5 year(s) ago
In English idiom, it is not desirable or commendable to be two-faced. The term is synonymous with deceit and, quite literally, duplicity. Yet, as a patient-physician, I find myself having become a better person by assuming a dual identity, the two halves summing to more than their component parts.

In advance of my @TotalHealthConf conversation this evening at 8pm EST with @aparna1024 and @NagashreeSeeth1, I reflect on what it means to be a "two-faced" patient-physician getting a taste of your own medicine in oncology: https://t.co/Gvpz7F8S3f

“How I envy you,” my patient said. I had anticipated many reactions to reappearing in my oncology practice after having taken medical leave to undergo a Whipple procedure. Self-consciously, I expected furtive glances at the cadaverous hollows of my drawn face, framed by wasted temples. In my shrunk

As I celebrate my Whipple-versary I reflect that many patients with pancreatic cancer are not so fortunate to be operable #pancsm https://t.co/Udg1alznRE

Fridays are usually the days I reach out to my patients on hospice In oncology a disconnect can happen when those who have been undergoing treatment transition to purely palliative care But trust me: the dying have so much to teach us about how to live https://t.co/Udg1alznRE

@sanamloghavi I'm finding it's not so bad to be two-faced! https://t.co/Gvpz7F8S3f

There’s a pathologist here and I told her “wow, I am in awe of your skill set, which I certainly do not possess, but I want you to know: I simply could not do my job without colleagues like you” Multidisciplinary collaboration is our true esprit du corps https://t.co/oLzfDpXQDQ
