I got into a screaming match with a jerk oncologist who sold out by working for insurance companies to deny claims today. My whole office stopped and stared. But then they clapped after they realized why I was yelling. @premera is denying my patient’s Keytruda for her #TNBC I asked the oncologist on the line why he was doing what he was doing and he had no answer. I then asked him if this was really the hill he wanted to die on, denying potentially life saving therapy for a young women with bad breast cancer. Again no answer. #MedTwitter #bcsm

#4thofjuly2022 A 🧵. I come from a military family. My father wanted to go to medical school, but his parents were Yiddish speaking USSR immigrants who came to Ellis Island. He couldn’t afford to go. So when he was 18 he enlisted. He was a child prodigy and graduated from high school at 14 and college at 18. He loved the #ARMY . It has always been a great source of pride for him.
