Thoracic surgeon expecting excellence. Cancer researcher. Patient advocate. #LungCancer #lcsm @lung_fund
- My son’s 4th grade “Hero” project. My heart may just burst... #lcsm #COVID19 @nyphospital @WeillCornell
- Good things @WeillCornell @nyphospital today! -More masks, more testing -Loved seeing how ICU teams have extended lines/pumps outside doors to save PPE & reduce exposures -Hearing that several patients have been extubated -Morale in our ICU was incredible! #Covid19 #CovidNYC
- My dad died 14 years ago today from lung cancer. He would be proud of all the progress we have made against the disease. Thanks to all the researchers, clinicians, patients, and advocates who have made the difference. #DoItForOthers #lcsm #AATS2019
- I am rooting for all #COVID19 patients at @nyphospital. But as a doctor & human there are some that really get to you. I am particularly pulling for a young guy I had to put chest tubes in, engaged to be married, on all the support we can give him. Say a prayer for him today.
- Walked through 5 ICUs today (including ORs converted to an ICU). Each was completely full of intubated, severely ill #covid19 patients. But each was also full of incredibly resilient, dedicated @nyphospital and @WeillCornell teams. #Pride #teamwork #NYPstrong #NYCstrong
- This week alone, I operated on 3 stage IIIB/IV patients on prolonged pembrolizumab, alectinib, and osimertinib. All are thriving, years after diagnosis and doing amazingly well on these incredible medicines. So many options for our lung cancer patients! #lcsm
- Remarkably, I have 4 lung cancer patients on my service this weekend each younger than 50. One in 20’s, one in 30’s, 2 in 40’s. Two have stage IV. When will people understand that anyone can get lung cancer? #lcsm
- I understand people want to go back to work & life. But I also understand too well that as of Saturday we had >450 #COVID patients in my hospital of whom about 200 are on ventilators fighting for their lives. Young people, old people. White people, people of color. Stand strong
- Wow! Sublobar resection (including wedge) are equivalent to lobectomy for stage I lung cancer <2cm. No difference in DFS or OS and similar rates of recurrence. #WCLC22 Likely new standard of care!
- Feel good of day. I did bedside tracheostomy on a patient w/ long standing #COVID resp failure. Hours later, she was able to communicate with daughter by facetime for first time in over two weeks. Thanks to the nurse who was so thoughtful to set it up. #NYPHeroes @nyphospital
