In medicine, saying No often feels impossible — but think again: it may be the key to saving ourselves, by restoring agency, protecting our energy, and actually strengthening trust. Listen to hear how.

In my new STAT News OpEd, I write about losing two physician friends to illnesses I couldn’t treat — and the brutal lesson that followed:
We can’t fix all suffering. But we can sit with it.

The PCCM Fellows at the Medical Office South (MOS) clinic are completely geeking out today. Some of the most interesting radiographic films (think gnarly ILD and complex pulmonary nodules!) have come across the light box. When the imaging is this good, you just have to study! 🤓 #PCCM
