Help needed!

One of our outstanding #DukeRheum fellows is surveying #rheumatology clinicians (MD/DO, APPs, fellows) to learn their perspectives on #PalliativeCare .

5 min max. IRB approved. Responses anonymous.

Please send me a DM if you are willing to complete the survey!

medical jargon:

“empiric” = I don’t know
“differential is broad” = I don’t know
“correlate clinically” = I don’t know
“poor historian” = he/she doesn’t know
“consult rheumatology” = who knows?

I’m seeing some “free market” simps defending Nature’s 12k open access fees. Guess it’s time to bring this back around.

It’s official !! Excited to announce that I have been promoted to Assistant Professor of Medicine 🧑🏽‍🏫🎉🥳

Thank you to all who made this possible AND to the #MedTwitter community 🙏🏻
