Even Doogie Howser thinks these “med students” look a bit young

The perfect café for a GI oncologist doesn’t exi–

If you insist, coffee, if you insist

We call it an interesting consult and we are always thankful for it

Few things are as inevitable as the word “battle” appearing in the obituary for a patient who died of cancer

But we need to reframe the disease in a manner that does not imply cowardice or ignobility for level-headed refusal of treatment

A very special #tbt for me

In 1989 at the age of 44 my Dad was invited to speak at a conference in Seoul

Today, at the same age, I had the same wonderful opportunity in my own career

He was the greatest man I’ve ever known so it is always an honor to walk in his footsteps

Not feeling so bad about four stars anymore

When the patient gets so miraculously better that you can discharge them straight from critical care to home

R^2 = 1

It’s important to check in with your family back home when you’re on the road for work

Ok so I’m delirious with jet lag and realizing Dr. Raven the Science Maven FLEETWOOD MAC FAN PAGE inspired me to go all stream-of-consciousness on here while (re)discovering one of my favorite albums but as I age I relate more and more to Thom Yorke’s “old man yelling at cloud” energy in this one

I would buy an alarm clock that is just Thom Yorke singing “it’s gonna be a glorious day” — I like to start my morning with a pep talk from a quite unexpected cheerleader

This is the most devastating lullaby ever written

It should come up with a warning label for parents: “do not play around children unless you want to expose them prematurely to unshakable notions of banal suburban ennui, soul-crushing jobs, and creeping existential dread”

Just once in my life I would like to muster the self-confidence to perform this at a karaoke bar

Wonderful to be here!

Thank you so much for the invitation

Looking forward to a great conference

감사합니다
