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.”
