I'm studying proton therapy (radiation) and it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen. The fact that we can target tumors with so much accuracy is incredible

It is very impressive and also much more precise, since proton beams can be better directed at a tumor, so that there is less damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

It is amazing how much progress is being made with respect to this disease that is so difficult to cure, I hope that more advances of this magnitude will follow.

You, the normal of today is the sci-fi of yesterday, I can't even imagine what we'll have to our disposal in 20 or 30 years

And we're only getting better at itevery day!

Glad we're slowly but surely developing new ways to help people with cancer, we're still a long way from full-on cures but the needle moves a little forward year after year. Only a matter of time before it's a thing of the past

Hello, I’m an LMSW in Michigan. I have 15 years of experience in the field as a clinician, supervisor, and an administrator. I am feeling burnt out and unsure of my future. I have worked mainly in the Community Mental Health and the VA Health systems, hence my fatigue. I’ve flirted with private practice work in the past, but my spouse has been worried about not having affordable healthcare and benefits that each system provides. Is it worth the jump? Am I overthinking things?

My fiancée almost lost her life to a medical emergency. The doctor needed me to stay home 2 weeks to supervise her post-operative care once the hospital discharged her. We had nobody near that could help so I got permission to attend class remotely for 2 weeks from the dean and all professors. One professor removed me from a graded argument the week after I’d return. When I asked about this error, he had said “I had planned on your failure to appear” and that he preplanned giving me a 0 grade.

Received my first prenatal massage at 19 weeks today and the therapist was trained and did a bit of myofascial stretching techniques. Never touched my stomach. Just lower back, arms, legs and feet.

But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.

And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
