@hannahrabrams.bsky.socialReposted by @dusetzinas.bsky.socialPhysician payments & end-of-life tx:
-Slight ⬆️ aggressive EOL care among those who received payments
-However, is this a function of 3' centers seeing more patients at later lines of tx?
-Need to clarify research support vs personal $

@sarahwinwetz.bsky.socialReposted by @dusetzinas.bsky.socialThe irony of charging patients a 20% copay for financial navigation assistance… I understand that using billing codes would help health systems implement more FN, but until we can find a way to do it without charging patients, it seems like a pointless effort. Policy change is needed. #ascoqlty26
@dusetzinas.bsky.socialVery on brand for 2026.

@mikedrucker.bsky.socialReposted by @dusetzinas.bsky.socialJust saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

@dusetzinas.bsky.socialThank you. ❤️
@dusetzinas.bsky.socialLove that. ❤️
@dusetzinas.bsky.socialSuch a cute and sweet boy. Here is another pic of him lounging on the coffee table, which is not allowed. He was a rule breaker.
@dusetzinas.bsky.socialIt feels so lonely in our house without him. 💔
@dusetzinas.bsky.socialReposted by @dusetzinas.bsky.socialMy best cat friend, Maxwell, died yesterday. His fungal infection spread to his lungs and he wasn't able to tolerate the treatment. I had really hoped to be celebrating him being fungus free next month. Give your pets some extra love for me. ❤️
@dusetzinas.bsky.socialMy husband once accused me of loving that cat more than him and our other cat. That little guy was my baby. ❤️
