Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things
Interesting work shows how AI chatbots are filling a human need for connection in those moments in life when a person simply doesn't have access to human connection---the 3am wakeup, the lonely marriage, the empty nest.

Cancer is a very stressful disease, not only physically but also psychologically. A meta-analysis now shows that patients who have to endure this stress alone are more likely to die than those who have a supportive social environment.

The latest 12-month report from the CDC showed 1,400 more deaths in January of this year compared with the year prior. This comes after more than a year of dramatic progress. Experts say they're not sure if this is a "blip" or something more troubling.
Cancer ghosting may be linked to cancer stigma, which can lead to increased suffering & health disparities & is one more emotional toll for pts who are likely to feel overwhelmed w/anxiety re: their diagnosis & treatment.

"It's so heartbreaking when someone has to do a GoFundMe to pay for their medical care or to pay for their funeral or the funeral of a loved one."
🎙️ Our #financialToxicity @ascocancer.bsky.social podcast with Drs @stage4kelly.bsky.social & @ryannipp.bsky.social is out now! Listen today:
Findings from a study titled "the preliminary impact of a cancer-specific financial navigation intervention program across age groups"
Excited to have shared study findings at #SSWR2025! 🌟
While cancer survivors of all ages showed a decrease in financial toxicity (FT) after a financial treatment program, middle-aged cancer survivors FT were still severe. So much more work to be done (and is underway)! #financialtoxicity #oncology
🚨Medical Debt is now banned from credit reports🚨 15 Million Americans will benefit.
“People who get sick shouldn’t have their financial future upended." 💸🏥
This ruling:
1️⃣ prohibits lenders from considering medical information
2️⃣ bans #medicaldebt on credit reports
I say this with 110% confidence, you were amazing!! (at your dissertation proposal defense and at APPAM) 💦
Did you know free annual checkups, and preventative screenings like mammograms, colonoscopies and pap smears didn't used to be free? This is a part of the Affordable Care Act. Pass it on.
I love the idea that maybe sleep is the purpose of your life and being awake is the inconvenient but necessary disturbance.
