Did you know brain tumors kill more children than any type of cancer? In honor of #BrainTumorAwarenessMonth , retweet this post to help raise awareness! 📢
It was an honor and privilege to be part of his neuro-oncology team with Dr. PhiOanh "Leia" NghiemPhu, MD. To me, his character and fortitude in the face of his diagnosis and treatment left an indelible mark. He will be missed.
Kevin Lee, an MS4 The Ohio State University College of Medicine + newly matched into Neurology was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer in March of 2024.
Since his diagnosis, he’s had a brain biopsy, multiple LPs, and just finished his first round of chemotherapy.
Prediction: number of unfilled spots in peds/peds subspecialties keeps falling until:
1. Salary reflects the 6 (!!!) years of training to be a pediatric specialist, OR
2. Training shortens to reflect poor salary, OR
3. Nothing changes, and peds dies.
Agree/disagree?

Grateful to lean on my professional community to care for our patients with complex conditions - a fun email response from a wonderful specialist at Children's Hospital LA yesterday - despite the infamous LA traffic, collaborating for our patients certainly comes first! :)
