We need actionable “how to” advices.

Just wanted to take a moment to shout out some of the under-appreciated specialities, specifically #Pediatricians and #FamilyPhysicians: what you guys do is amazing, under-respected and underpaid. I would add anesthesiologists but I don’t want to be accused of #toot ing my own horn (💉 💊 :POCUS: :crystalloid: :spine:)

Our family physician ordered the CT scan that led to a diagnosis of Jay’s #PancreaticCancer at an early stage (2b)! The Doc didn’t know it, but J’s family cancer history, his ashkenazi Jewish heritage on his mum’s side, & his upper belly ache, were just the sorts of variables that SHOULD have led to imaging. #FamilyPhysicians are seen 1st, & need to be educated on the symptoms of #PANCREASCANCER, as well as other factors that increase risk. Early diagnosis = improved outcomes.
