Can we *please* stop telling med students and trainees that financial hardship is part of the journey and 'you'll earn it back'? The landscape has changed entirely (debt higher, specialist pay lower) and there's nothing honourable about equating poverty and 'commitment'. 🤨

propublica.org/article/cigna-… ProPublica has done it again. These terrifying glimpses inside health insurance corporations are so important. People need to understand what we're up against. These corporations don't care about you. Cigna Healthcare

The View on GU | with Lalani & Wallis Diana Magee Aly-Khan Lalani Christopher Wallis (he/him/his) Really appreciated this episode! Adding that Canadian #patientadvocates across urology, oncology face the same dilemmas.

Brilliant lecture by Michael Hofman on differences between PSMA tracers for diagnostics and therapy in #prostatecancer
1. PSMA11, DCFPyL or PSMA7 likely interchangeable

95% of Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference Panellists DO NOT recommend ARPI switch for mCRPC. Yet why do investigators (many of them Panellists) and FDA approve this as control arm for trials?? “Unethical” says ONCODOC from the floor, as did Vinay Prasad MD MPH on GU Cast GU Cast | Urology podcast! #APCCC24

In Episode 6, our hosts @lalanimd + Christopher Wallis (he/him/his) were joined by Diana Magee to discuss the upcoming #AUA conference in Texas, and how the location of a medical conference can influence the decisions of HCPs - especially when it might impede access to healthcare.
