#ASCOQLTY26 hot tip 🚊
There were >100 people waiting for Ubers at Logan, it was taking forever to even get matched and >$50 to go 4 miles.

Public transit means a shuttle to the T πŸ”΅ to the T 🟒 but ironically I think it's going to save me some time. And it only costs $2.40??

Our Costs of Care @jama.com @jamanetworkopen.com ✍️:
Financial barriers from #medicaldebt may prevent pts from seeking preventive or timely care... this is πŸ”‘ in cancer, where earlier diagnosis means deescalated tx, better survival, and (ironically) less costly care.

πŸ’ΈπŸ₯🩺 Medical debt is a scourge. In addition to the deep personal and economic harms it perpetuates on Americans, new data @jamanetworkopen.com @jama.com shows that it may ALSO drive incidence of late-stage cancer diagnoses with the worst outcomes in #lungcancer #lcsm

One of the amazing things about working with so many trainees (in research, clinic, & w/in the #radonc community) is that it broadens your network. That way when Boston breaks your umbrella, a graduated resident (now attending!!) will let you borrow hers πŸ™β˜‚οΈπŸ’¦! #ASTRO26

I appreciated this @slate.com piece by Dr Amar Rewari that goes into some of the nuance about non evidence based tests.

"When it comes to your loved ones, paying for more information can feel less like an indulgence than a responsibility."
