I failed the physics portion of the #RadOnc boards twice...it was a really dark time for me.

Now I'm board certified (almost) 6 years out and I try to be open about my failure to make others feel less alone.

Yes, this. 100 times this. 🤡

Thank you California DMHC for overturning Blue Shield of CA Team Shield #priorauth denial and appeal denial for totally appropriate and medically necessary #IMRT services for my #cancerpatient . But are we going to have to do this for every #BlueShield patient?

Denial of services by…

First woman EVER to finish Barkley!!! This is amazing!

The real reason I haven't left this site....

Takeaways after a weekend of thoughtful conversation:

1. Rad oncs can unite behind curbing greed of hospitals/PE

2. Virtual care could be a tool for this greed

3. Virtual care does not intrinsically compromise care (can enhance)

4. Virtual care is here to stay. Full stop.

There is absolutely no reason that “spring forward” shouldn’t happen on a Monday at 4pm.

Michael Weisman Jordan Johnson Todd Scarbrough RadLady1987 Jason Beckta CMS Innovation Ctr I would have to leave this job if required to be on site every beam on, which is a shame bc these patients for the first time have access to brain SRS, lung SBRT, PBI, etc. Very difficult to recruit MD to areas of need if expectation is presence entirety of every business day 365

Michael Weisman Jordan Johnson Todd Scarbrough RadLady1987 Jason Beckta CMS Innovation Ctr I humbly propose a way the absence of blanket requirement that MD be present for every beam on could improve quality.

A younger gen rad onc is able to accept a position at solo-doc center caring for rural patients because she knows she can go to kids’ doc appts if needed🤷🏼‍♀️

People need to stop believing “cancers feed on sugar”. All cells in the body feed on sugar. If you stop eating all sugar your body will break down fat and muscle and convert it to sugar. Biochemistry!

Matt Spraker It is definitely open to all (ASTRO members and non-members)!

We will make sure to post when the next open meeting/town hall is coming up!

We will be hosting quarterly open meetings this year! Come join us, we’d love to meet you!

So many “influencers” and “optimizers” and “wellness” and “happiness” gurus don’t have partners or kids. Yes, strive to be healthy and excellent and all that, but sometimes the key to adult life—especially if you’ve got kids—is that you’ve just got to order a pizza and move on.

Thank you for sharing your story Madison Cook MD,MS

sigh...another #P2P , another not-radiation oncologist telling us what we can and cannot do based on our 'guidelines'...looking at you Blue Cross Blue Shield Association

NONE. ZERO. ZIP. NADA. 🎉

what a wonderful highlight to show the importance of HPV vaccination (critical for all genders) to halt the spread of deadly cancers.

The continuous reduction in physician reimbursement poses a significant threat to our health care system.

We must remedy the fee schedule to ensure practices keep their doors open and American patients have access to quality, timely care.
