In Opinion “When people are frightened, they seek someone to blame, to create a narrative — even if that narrative is false — in which disease is punishment rather than a random unlucky event,” writes @danielalamasmd. nyti.ms/42Uo3EJ

Imagine if your life expectancy increased by decades within your own lifespan. That’s the story for cystic fibrosis right now. My view into this fascinating moment in time for CF. nytimes.com/2023/02/06/opi…

The prayers for #DamarHamlin are beautiful, but @NFL, please also consider spending 2 minutes before tomorrow’s games showing a demo of hands-only #CPR & encouraging viewers to learn. With your audience, this could save lives ❤️🙏🏽 Read on to learn how to do hands-only CPR ⬇️

High quality CPR saved Damar Hamlin’s life. But CPR is a procedure like any other, its benefit is all about context. Which is how the same lifesaving protocols that were used on that football field have become a ritual of dying in the intensive care unit. nytimes.com/2023/01/07/opi…

My thoughts on longevity medicine, watching my father do pull-ups, and “geriatric pregnancy.” Maybe the arc of aging we have come to expect is not inevitable. nytimes.com/2023/01/04/opi…

From Opinion: ECMO is a lifesaving technology, giving patients a second chance. But as @danielalamasmd writes, in some cases, if recovery isn’t possible, “the machine ‌‌becomes what we refer to as a ‘bridge to nowhere’ and ‌has to stop.” nyti.ms/3OuBdlA

This was a tough piece to write, about one woman’s life and death, and the impossible situations we find ourselves in as medical technology outpaces our ethical frameworks. nytimes.com/2022/11/22/opi…

While severe Covid was a disease of the vulnerable, Covid follow-up appears to be a privileged of the well resourced. The reasons for this observation are many, and nuanced. This piece is a view into that complexity. nytimes.com/2022/09/26/opi…
