Beautiful view from my pre-service week hike in the Mount Tam Watershed. Taking some time for myself before an intense week at work. #Medsky

Was able to have dinner with a patient celebrating 5 years post lung transplant tonight. Incredibly special evening, reminds me that we can change lives for the better. Honored to call myself a transplant pulmonologist #MedSky

Sailed completely solo today for the first time while on my own boat. I’ve sailed alone before in the context of our sailing club races, but never on Sugarfoot, my 1938 San Francisco Bear Boat. Lots of fun, lots of learning. So many ideas on how to make single handing easier.

Proud to be a part of the pulmonary hypertension team at UCSF. Thanks @lekshmimd.bsky.social for giving us the opportunity to present at Medicine Grand Rounds. Celebrating our first BPA procedure by teaching the UCSF community about PH!

Looking at four days of straight rain #atmosphericriver with two dogs who refuse to go outside in the rain. Should be fun trying to keep the floors clean. #spoileddogs

Beautiful day on the water. San Francisco Bay is unmatched.

Hey @bsky.app I liked all the dog photos on my timeline but all I see are cats. What does a guy and his two dogs have to do to see more dog photos? Not hating on cats everyone, just am quite allergic so my affinity is for pups.

@meidastouch.bsky.social view from the office today #medsky. Not sure why San Francisco gets all the negative press. Beautiful city with stunning views.

Hi #MedSky, I made the switch. I do pulmonary hypertension and lung transplantation @UCSF. Hoping for a more open and welcoming environment.
