When patients refuse cancer treatment
“When I think of patients who refuse treatment, I don't automatically assume they're uninformed. I kind of assume that they're just informed by different facts.”

The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion. Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more. If you want to boost the economy, funding science is one of the best things you could do.

I agree. It also bothers me how clinicians record “pt denies …” when we respond to a question in the negative. Seems to imply that we are suspected of being untruthful

Today’s a good day to remember that outdoor tornado sirens are NOT meant to be heard indoors. This is why it’s important to have a way to receive alerts on your phone (a weather radio works great too!) FEMA’s app, along with local tv station weather apps, will send you warnings.
