Thank you to @ASCO staff and leadership for organizing a very rewarding visit to Chicago. Lots of learning that reinforces how many dedicated people there are improving cancer control and easing suffering. Time to bring that goodness home for my patients. #ASC018

@marklewismd @UBC_SB I had high hopes for scalable good that health professionals could do online. I was wrong. Hopefully we’ll learn before we permanently damage the public’s trust.

My wife asked me what I was doing with my day off today. I told her I was commuting into Boston for @MassMedical #MMSAnnual to learn about #physicianburnout She couldn’t help laughing. Neither could I 🙂 #medtwitter #SoMeDocs

@choo_ek Unfortunately, I suspect there will be a lot of mis-use by lower risk people with financial means. We've seen how disparities have been worsened, this will likely continue to crop up.

After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time. #ASTRO20 😐

@EricTopol I do hope that the medical community can meet everyone's needs with the spike in cases. Key for keeping mortality low seems to be not ovewhelming the healthcare system. Accurate?
