             Last month Patrick received UCSF's 1000th lung #transplant. Next up: A trip to Ireland! "Transplanted patients at UCSF, like Patrick, can live a normal life, with medications to ward off infections, healthy diet & exercise," Dr. Steve Hays (@shaysmd) says.

             Inflammatory conditions "can look significantly more subtle in dark skin & also just maybe a completely different color than you’re expecting" since "textbook" descriptions usually focus on white skin, UCSF's @DermDocJenna told @NPR's @emilykwong1234.
