@stevejoffe.bsky.socialWhat an enormous loss.
@stevejoffe.bsky.socialHeartbreaking story. And personal, since we recently lost my mother-in-law to stage 4 lung cancer.
What's missing from the story: excellent, compassionate, honest palliative care.

@atheendar.bsky.socialReposted by @stevejoffe.bsky.socialFascinating paper @hthirumurthy.bsky.social and team!!! The possibility of a bright future motivates. The possibility of a dim one does the opposite. Something I see all the time in the clinic and hospital.

@stevejoffe.bsky.socialJehovah's Witness congregations have historically opposed the transfusion of whole blood or its primary fractions (red cells, platelets, plasma, white cells). An important update now treats transfusion of fractions as a matter of individual conscience rather than doctrine. www.jw.org/en/library/s...
@apoorvanyt.bsky.socialReposted by @stevejoffe.bsky.socialI’ve been reporting on the CDC for years, and have written about many of its troubles over the past year. I was still shocked by the extent of the staff losses and political interference I found when reporting this one.
