A patient who never smoked, never drank, and was fastidious about his diet died of cancer at 49. That patient was my father. He went to his grave not knowing he actually carried a genetic mutation that caused his fatal tumor. Virtue doesn't necessarily guarantee health. RIP Dad

“When you hear hoofbeats, think 🐴 🐴🐴 …”. The 🦓 has long been the symbol of rare tumors & for those patients who stand out from the “herd” of common diagnoses. But in my family we’ve also adopted the 🦚 as the symbol for hereditary conditions (in our case MEN1 syndrome)

Happy anniversary to the bride who said “in sickness & in health” and absolutely meant it . I know a gifted healer when I see one, but I’m even more lucky to be married to someone so genuinely caring

This has been a long, trying week for everyone in healthcare. So allow me to divert you for a minute by relaying the most embarrassing moment of my career, risking professional ruin for your brief amusement. A THREAD.1/.

I was once invited overseas to give a lecture on being a perceptive doctor. While at the conference, another oncologist broke the bad news to me that I had unknowingly set myself on fire by backing into a lit candle in a crowded room (I just thought it was getting warm in there).

It seems almost unjust when you are coping with profound loss to see the world keep turning . But there’s sometimes a comfort to be found there too: that life does go on . It can be both.

The way life goes on after people die is one of the most humbling and scary things in life.

It's easy to recommend exercise for better overall health but I had a truly remarkable day in clinic empowering patients with colon cancer to follow an evidence-based, post-op fitness program that offers a survival benefit on par with some chemo drugs. Bodies in motion, indeed!
