Words cannot describe how profoundly sad I am to share the news of Dr. Shekinah Elmore's death this week. Shekinah was a SPECTACULAR human with profound wisdom, an incredible generosity of spirit, & a heart of kindness that lifted us all up. gofundme.com/f/honoring-dr-s…

The Patient: Paul Hinds, now 60, is covered by United Healthcare through a COBRA plan from his former employer. Medical Service: Two three-month Lupron Depot injections for metastatic prostate cancer. npr.org/sections/health-shot…

It cost $38,398 for a single shot of a very old cancer drug

Lupron, a drug patented half a century ago, treats advanced prostate cancer. It costs a few hundred dollars in the U.K. — so why are U.S. hospitals charging so much more to administer it?

So proud of @HadleyWalsh1 who is a terrific @wakeforestmed student and took the initiative to put together this @ARRO_org case. We hope others find our mnemonic for remembering “suitable” candidates for APBI helpful. #bcsm #meded #radonc

We can't do this anymore. Firearms are the problem. A murderer can buy a semiautomatic weapon and kill four people an hour later. I can't get Lupron approved to give a patient an hour later. Everything is wrong and we can't do this anymore.
