    We really need to rethink this immediate availability of results in patient portals especially in oncology! Just had horrible experience with a terrified patient who saw results before I had chance to call her. All or none is horrible for any aspect of medical care

    Another uterine transposition placed back in a brave young woman. Humbling how brave our patients are and how much trust they put in us. Prayers for a big family for her. Fortunate to be able to do this with my partner ⁦@JennyMueller_⁩

    Replying to @MaryanneDemasi @VPrasadMDMPH and 14 others
    If masks worked it would crystal clear from a meta-analysis of 600K+ cases and not “unclear”. They do not work

    When asked if the CDC will revise its guidance to mandate masks in schools in light of the Cochrane review showing masks do not curb COVID, CDC Director Walensky tells Congress its advice on child masking will never change. “Our masking guidance doesn’t really change with time.”
