Replying to @united
@united my elderly mother in law has been stranded at Newark airport for 24 hrs with no medicine, no bed to sleep in, no hotel voucher, and no information. @united then tried to up-sell her a plane ticket to get her home for $500. no change fees? This is a safety issue.

Latest on Moderna booster with omicron, clearly of great benefit. Misinfo from conservative news outlets claim vaccines do nothing vs infection and therefore mandates have no scientific basis. Not true, vaccines do reduce infection as well as disease. nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

To all Engineers who are patients: you are brilliant & incredible, but please remember that because humans did not design the human body, we cannot control all of its inputs & outputs nor can we seamlessly modify all of its algorithms. Love, Your friendly local urologist

Great presentations on the latest in plastic surgery at our Surgery Grand Rounds this morning. What really struck me was the empathy from @MDAndersonNews surgeons for our patients that led to these innovations. #endcancer @JesseSelber @AMericliMD @anaeze_offodile @MRoubaudMD
