At 102 years old, my great aunt, born the year of our last great #pandemic, made her way to the ballot box to cast her #vote. If she can do it, you can too! #Vote #VoteEarly #Election2020

Notice that everyday, thousands and thousands of patients are seen in hospitals, ERs, and clinics all over the country and examined in small rooms? Yet very few or no reports of #COVID19 transmission. 🤔wonder why? #Masks

I'm sure dead people did vote –– early voting began on Sept. 18 and 50,000 Americans have died from coronavirus since then.

Good letter on palliative RT ✅ Referring palliative RT closer to home should be a priority for patient convenience ✅ PRT network is superfluous ($) for #radonc given emphasis during training/practice ✅ Lets move past academic = good; community = bad advancesradonc.org/article/S2452-…

Looks like a reverse Robin Hood situation.

Damn, from one of the most competitive fields pre-2019, now with 24 out of 87 participating programs in #match2021 with at least 1 unfilled spot. This isn’t due to med student underexposure. C’mon #radonc leaders, wake up and LEAD. The field’s future is literally begging you.

Having the patient present might be a good idea for my p2p for RT for painful bony mets. Impatiently waiting for approval for 20 Gy in 5 fx. #radonc EviCore By Evernorth

After p2p and a lengthy appeal, my request for conventional breast RT was ultimately denied by the final authority — a family doc. No offense but maybe not the expert in breast fractionation? How is this even legal? UnitedHealthcare ASTRO #bcsm EviCore By Evernorth

Hearing from BCBSCA that radiation isn’t covered, at all, for a patient with prostate cancer. Serious question, how is it legal to offer such a plan? #radonc

Spending valuable time writing a “letter of medical necessity” to do IMRT for a pancreatic tumor. Why is this necessary when literally all the information is in the consult note? What a waste of time #radonc

Randomized trial of prophylactic RT for asymptomatic bone mets prevents pain, skeletal events, and prolongs survival. When this study is published, I hope that the media covers it widely. #radonc ascopost.com/issues/decembe…
