Which is the correct symbol for Medicine?
Rod of Asclepius or Staff of Hermes (Caduceus)?
Let's talk about the extremely common and embarrassingly incorrect symbol that is used in India (and the rest of the world) and why it frustrates me.

A few more-
Pts with cancer
NOT cancer pts
Why do we write-
pt reports symptoms
Why not just say-
pt has symptoms
And my personal request-
Replace male/female with man/woman
It just sounds so much nicer and human.

@tobyeyre82
, well put.
After lots of opinions on SHINE and lots have asked my view, here is a brief thread with a few thoughts:
1. Congratulations to the authors. MCL is uncommon and not easy to perform very large randomised trials in - its a huge effort that should be celebrated and recognised.

Humble request to expert speakers everywhere.
Pts don't relapse
Disease relapses
Pts with R/R disease
NOT R/R pts
Pts didn't fail therapies
Therapies failed pts
Yes, it takes effort and time to change habits, but we must keep trying.

I hear my country in your voice…what a beautiful thing to say…
Yesterday at the hospital, a man said to me, I hear my country in your voice. I have been thinking about it ever since. He didn’t say, like a typical American, you have an accent. He placed an entire country in my being & in so doing walked both of us into this communal space.

Concluding thoughts:
So much amazing science was presented
@ASCO
last week. We must never forget that failure is 100% a part of research. Figuring out what does and does not work is essential. Presenting and publishing negative trials is important.✅
