We are healers and advocates. The two roles are inseparable.
In my urban primary care clinic, creativity and advocacy are some of our most basic tools. Recently, one of our residents brought up a homeless patient ’s social barriers to colorectal cancer screening: no companion to escort her home from a colonoscopy, no address to send a mail-in test, no reliable commode location to collect a […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

The randomness of cancer: bad luck or something else?
Randomness in life is inevitable because the universe is a pretty random place, although the extent to which you believe that depends upon your own value system. This notion comes into play almost every day of my practice in the PICU because many of the critically ill and injured children I care for experienced a […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

The broader mission for hospice care
I remember it was raining outside when I told Ester she had metastatic stomach cancer. She cried, as her son sat silently holding one thin hand in two of his. After a while, she asked, how long did she have to live? I explained it depended on how well the chemotherapy worked. She smiled gently, […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

The Opportunity in Disruption, Part 1
By JOE FLOWER The system is unstable. We are already seeing the precursor waves of massive and multiple disturbances to come. Disruption at key leverage points, new entrants, shifting public awareness and serious political competition cast omens and signs of a highly changed future. So what’s the frequency? What are the smart bets for a strategic chief financial officer at a payer or provider facing such a bumpy ride? They are radically different from today’s dominant consensus strategies. In this five-part series, Joe Flower lays out the argument, the nature of the instability, and the best-bet strategie...

After a spouse ’s death, a physician is showered with gratitude
I saw Kaitlin (identifying information changed) and her husband Brandon seven days before she died. Kaitlin’s cancer had been in remission at our last visit, but this day she looked awful. I estimated she had less than three months to live. As I think being surprised by death is unhelpful, I decided to test whether […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

The costly decision of delaying surgery
It was a common enough reason for someone to have a CT scan. The order read, “Abdominal pain, colon cancer resected in January.” It was now March, only two months post-surgery. Yet the patient’s CT scan showed a number of large masses in the liver, consistent with metastatic cancer. I compared the current study to […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

Convincing patients to stop cancer screening isn ’t always easy
During my training to become a primary care physician, the importance of preventive cancer screening was ingrained in me. The idea of catching cancer at an early stage so we can better treat it made intuitive sense. But as I ’ve learned over the years, the simplicity of this concept can obscure its limitations and make […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

A doctor survived a day without a computer. Here ’s how he did it.
It wasn ’t even nine o’clock when the screen on my laptop suddenly froze. From that moment until my last patient left the building, my clinic had no internet. For my part, the day went pretty smoothly, mostly because of some of my own work habits. It also helped that it was a warm, sunny day, […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

The Impact Of Digital Health Technologies On The Future of Medical Specialties In One Infographic
Will digital assistants prescribe medication, will smart algorithms diagnose patients with malignant lesions based on CT scans, while robot surgeons do the dirty work in the OR 20 years from now, ousting doctors completely? Highly unlikely, but there are many fears around the advancement of digital health technology up to a point of medical professionals becoming superfluous. While we believe that fears about technology, especially A.I., replacing physicians are unfounded, we should acknowledge the impact of fast-paced innovation happening in healthcare on the various medical specialties. That’s what our latest infograph...

Alternative cancer therapies and the promise of false hope
How do you respond when patients with a good prognosis want to delay chemotherapy to try an anticancer diet for a few months or visit an unregulated clinic for unproven therapies?
