Razelle Kurzrock: Advice to physicians based on recent experience with a loved one

Razelle Kurzrock shared on X:

“I have advice to physicians based on recent experience with a loved one. Surprised I need to say these things.

Ask your patient how they are doing
Put away your computer/iPhone
Examine your patient
Do not suggest tests that lead nowhere
Wash your labcoat
Do not be dismissive.”
