Daniel Flora, Medical Oncologist and Medical Director of Oncology Research at St. Elizabeth Healthcare, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“This piece is about a patient with metastatic cancer who once asked me if I thought he should go skydiving. I told him I was worried and that, medically, it probably was not the safest idea.
He heard me, and then he went anyway.
I’ve thought about that for years because it changed how I think about risk, joy, and trying to help patients keep living while we are also trying to keep them safe.”
