It was great to return to @ClevelandClinic two weeks ago to reconnect with friends and learn about the management of irAEs for patients who have received immunotherapy treatment. Thank you @FunchainMD, Laura Wood, and colleagues for planning such a great meeting!

I was super proud of this resolution that was initially authored by the @ASCO @AmerMedicalAssn delegation. It was broadened by the House of Delegates to include all patients.

I think that “lack of control” certainly drives burnout. I know so many doctors who cannot control how many pts are seen in clinic, double bookings, or appt length.

I had a family meeting that went well today. The logistics all fell into place, starting with the nurse who found chairs for everyone and left them at bedside with my name on them! I was very grateful. It helped set a comfortable stage for conversion and understanding.
