What a great session! #ATS2025

Expertly moderated by Andrew, Jacky, and Kelly.

Yes! And I wonder if how doctors talk about diseases with each other condenses their view of the people who are their patients.

Congrats to this years cohort of the Path of Distinction in Bioethics!

As a pulmonary and critical care physician, I thought I had learned about TB.

But, it was so much more to see this intractable disease through the lens of @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social.
Highly recommended reading!
