The devastating impact of being told one has cancer
As an oncologist, I have seen the devastating impact of being told one has cancer. The reaction I most often see among my patients is fear that they ’ve been given a death sentence, an urgent need for a plan, and hope that they will survive. I often want patients to know I too sense their […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com. Search thousands of physician, PA, NP, and CRNA jobs now. Learn more.

Cancer can be an adventure into the soul
Storytelling is as old as humanity. In telling our stories, we share, learn, and ideally pass along wisdom. As Isak Dinesen once wrote,“To be a person is to have a story to tell.” This story starts with PW’s cancer diagnosis in 2009. Nodal marginal zone lymphoma: not curable, hopefully manageable.

Sexual recovery after cancer treatment
The couple that entered my office on a warm fall day seemed out of sorts. She looked nervous, and he looked irritated. Before he sat down I heard why he felt that way: “I don’t even know why we’re here.“ I explained briefly what my role is but this did not seem to clear up […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

Stop blaming people with cancer. Support them instead.
I am a“jack of all trades” osteopath. I practiced family medicine for over nine years and am currently on a leave of absence as I fight invasive breast cancer. Once I return to medicine, I will be moving into a more specialized role in integrative medicine and osteopathic manipulation. I have also worked in […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

On the RISE: Joshua and Caleb Marceau Use NIGMS Grant to Jump-Start Their Research Careers
A college degree was far from the minds of Joshua and Caleb Marceau growing up on a small farm on the Flathead Indian Reservation in rural northwestern Montana. Their world centered on powwows, tending cattle and chicken, fishing in streams, and working the 20-acre ranch their parents own. Despite their innate love of learning and science, the idea of applying to and paying for college seemed out of reach. Then, opportunities provided through NIGMS, mentors, and scholarships led them from a local tribal college to advanced degrees in biomedical science. Today, both Joshua and Caleb are Ph.D.-level scientists working to imp...

Support Groups: Are They for You?
No matter what challenges you are facing — cancer, caregiving, addiction, behavior disorders and many more — there are local and online support groups where you can talk to people who understand. Those who are struggling with similar situations, others who have found ways to cope, and professionals who often facilitate meetings can all provide a shelter where you can express your honest thoughts, hear what has worked for those around you, and find compassion and strength in the words of other people.
Look for safety.
Gatherings sponsored by reliable organizations will emphasize confidentiality and respect f...

Quitting medicine: a disgraced survivor of a bloody suicide attempt
Addressed to Dr. Lynes, the note sat menacingly in my inbox like a distress signal ominously blinking on a battered ocean coast. “Mr. Smith wants you to read the note before his preop, the nurse said harmlessly.” A premonition that day, just one more irrational fear in my downward spiral into darkness.

To anyone in medicine: This is why listening matters
Victor Frankl is an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, and Holocaust survivor, who survived three years in the concentration camps of Dachau and Auschwitz. He once told a story about a woman, his patient, who called him in the middle of the night saying that she wants to commit suicide.

The irrational exuberance of early cancer detection
Here ’s some good news for a change about cancer: Cancer mortality — the rate of death from cancer — has fallen substantially over the last four decades. There is also, however, some not-so-good news: Cancer incidence — the rate of cancer diagnoses — has been rising.

Why multidisciplinary and coordinated cancer care matters
While it would be ideal if all of our decisions in medicine were based on clear and definitive data, that isn ’t the case, for most of what we face with our patients. Data is open to interpretation, studies can always be criticized, and the results are not always clear. Still, as clinicians we must help […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

The culture of silence in Canada ’s medical institutions is in desperate need of reform
Canada ’s health care system has been a source of national pride for as long as I can remember — a view that was shattered following my experience as a patient advocate during my late father Henry’s cancer journey. The depths of perversity were made apparent to me when I was charged over $1,000 to a ccess my […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com. Search thousands of physician, PA, NP, and CRNA jobs now.

We don ’t just have cancer. We have a whole life to live.
When asking about a potentially overwhelming side-effect of an impending new medication, my nurse told me,“Don’t worry until you get there.” OK, I get it. I just didn’t die from breast cancer. I’ve had worse. But come on. Let’s do better. Let’s have a conversation. There are many things nobody tells you about cancer. […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

From Theranos To Google Glass: The Biggest Flops In Digital Health
The tech start-up scene, investors, and news-reading
audiences reward great stories on the edge of human capabilities – sometimes
even on the boundary of science and science fiction – with their attention,
money, or invested energy. However, sometimes marketing machines are better
than actual technologies, and the ‘little bubbles’ around companies burst.
Here, we collected the most promising digital health ideas and companies over
the years that proved to be the greatest flops in medical innovation so far.

Cancer patients who want to take unproven supplements
One of the most important things we do as physicians is to empower our patients with the knowledge we have so that they can make informed decisions about their care. In oncology, patients also benefit from educating themselves about ways they can try to take some control of their disease process, for example, exercising. I […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.
