Dec 16, 2024 | opmed.doximity.com | Shrinkhala Khanna |Ariela Marshall

The 66th annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH24) was packed with excellent abstracts and presentations on exciting discoveries and scientific advancements in the field of hematology.

How to stay safe as a traveling physician

Oct 16, 2023 | kevinmd.com | Janelle Jones |Amanda Xi |Ariela Marshall |Arthur Lazarus

There was nothing unusual about my hotel in Anchorage, Alaska, when I checked in, but when I headed down to check out the laundry facilities and saw police swarming the lobby and parking lot, I knew it was time to move. Thankfully, experiences like that have not been common during my time working as a locum tenens (physicians who work in temporary assignments to fill critical gaps in care) for over a decade.
Man's search for meaning is spiritual, and relevant to medicine

Sep 14, 2023 | kevinmd.com | Arthur Lazarus |Amanda Xi |Steven Zhang |Ariela Marshall

Viktor Frankl’s Holocaust memoir, Man’s Search for Meaning, is an extraordinary essay on resilience and spirituality, a reminder that human life, under any circumstances, never ceases to have meaning. At the risk of mentioning Bob Dylan in the same sentence as Viktor Frankl, it was Dylan who said: “When you ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose.” I suppose Bob Dylan read the book too, ranked by the Library of Congress as “one of the ten most influential books in America.

Youth vs. experience: Who wins in medicine?

Jul 28, 2023 | kevinmd.com | Paul Pender |Amanda Xi |Steven Zhang |Ariela Marshall

Harvard researchers who recently wrote an essay analyzed data from Medicare to draw conclusions about hospitalists and surgeons who treat hospital in-patients for non-elective admissions. The researchers grouped the physicians by age to determine which groups performed better. The yardstick by which they were measured was mortality within 30 days of admission. The sample size was significant—over 700,000 Medicare patients, all over 65 years of age.

Jul 20, 2023 | jamanetwork.com | Ariela Marshall

Escaping the Siren Song—Transitioning to Part-Time Work 2015: “That will never be me.” Eight years into my career—less than a decade but what feels like a lifetime—I made the difficult decision to transition to part-time clinical practice. When I finished my hematology fellowship in 2015, I never even remotely contemplated the possibility that I would make this choice.
How can there be joy in medicine if there is no joy in Mudville?

May 29, 2023 | kevinmd.com | Arthur Lazarus |Amanda Xi |Steven Zhang |Ariela Marshall

The following article is part satire and part imagination. The classic poem “Casey at the Bat” delves into the dashed dreams of 5,000 frenzied fans who gathered to watch the “Mudville Nine” play baseball, pinning their hopes on their star player, Casey. Do they have unrealistic expectations of Casey, or is his prowess over-hyped? And what implications does this time-honored poem have for medical practice?
Navigating the complexity of "first do no harm" in modern medicine

May 21, 2023 | kevinmd.com | M. Bennet Broner |Edwin Leap |Amanda Xi |Ariela Marshall

“First do no harm” is the opening line of the Hippocratic Oath, and virtually everyone is familiar with it, as it is quoted on every TV medical drama at least once a season. We tend to think that the oath was highly influential in medical training and practice when it was written circa 400 BCE. Still, it had limited applicability, as it only applied to students trained in Hippocrates’ style of medicine, and his was only one of several schools of physician training.
