Thank you for reading! Great to find you here.

It is mostly bad news down here, but I guess we will take what we can get 😥

Thank you so much for reading. Writing about medicine is a little new for me, so I'm excited and interested to see where this goes (and how it coalesces into a larger project!) Stay tuned! I have another related piece coming out next month.

Oh awesome, small world. Glad you could read the piece and glad you were able to find me here! I haven't gotten too regular about posting here, but maybe we'll get back to that if there's another good group read 😀

It's absolutely the best show on "television" these days. In addition to everything you state, it's a love letter to a part of the country that doesn't often get one.

Your agent probably loves to hear this! 😀 I tried to conceptualize a rewrite as a memoir for my manuscript but I scrapped it for the exact reason that I would have had to drop much of the researched stuff I'd dug up over the years. Good luck!

I had a patient with stage iv pdac who went on one last vacation to Europe and what shocked her most was how cheap creon was in Switzerland (and that it was otc). Needless to say she filled a suitcase full before coming back.
