Dare you to reply!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Supposedly it was this:

That’s a bit underwhelming. She was rude and came across as rude to the audience, which seems like a fitting punishment. No need to pretend it is huge deal on social media.

These two trials are not so different…

One tests for genetic alterations upfront and assigns patients to two groups, the other looks at the data at the end.
Given the sample size it should still work out to draw conclusions. And what the audience member asks, is if testing later on with ctDNA may miss out patients that may have been positive had they been tested upfront (on tissue?).

I do not get the comment of the gray haired lady: „These two trials had very different patient populations“. Nope, they didn’t. Both were 1L-mCRPC treated with Abi +/- PARPi.

She was just being rude.

Here‘s an overview:

 
Without watching, I bet it wasn't as insulting as when LK told us to our faces at ASTRO that we were a bunch of *******es for failing Radbio and Physics. That was a macroaggression.

Seriously, I'm just glad there wasn't pitchforks at the door in San Antonio that day.

The scary part is that if this is how they act in public, what do they act like behind closed doors. I am not a medical oncologist, but I think it was a good, practical question. Maybe we shouldn't focus too much on DEI if this is what we get, but more focus on equity of decency.
 
The person asking the question is a chair/ endowed professor. No clue who the grey haired panelist is. Maybe some history between them. The panelist who called them children (even though only one was acting that way) mumbled something about them knowing each other.
 
I am familiar with Avenue Q but haven't watched enough, so I did indeed miss it. I was referencing this:

If it doesn't exist, then why all this?



Maybe not everyone has it, but I'm sure plenty do

That I can agree with
 
He called her beautiful as well. Lebron James is a freak of nature. I’m the first to call out a racist comment, but not everything should be taken as offensive.
It's a woman who apparently makes her living off the color of her skin. My desire to not be in academic med is bc I'll bump into jack turbans. But maybe I'm the dingus.

Could have same such post about a Ferrari… “black beauty” “queen of dark” … and a chairman could say “I love dark black beauties like this”

CAN NOT have chairman say “I love dark black beauties” to this post though. In short, any response whatsoever is actually a trap!

This is why I still think it’s of no professional benefit for doctors employed in these systems to have a regular social media prescence.

You inevitably end up in situation where you are totally irrelevant or saying something so egregious you might actually get yourself fired.

This need to say something is literally killing peoples careers.

I know myself and this is the reason why I stay away from the public. I can’t go one hour without making some family guy/South Park type of joke or reference. I was meant to practice medicine in 1955.

That's...why I'm here.

No need to have a non-anonymous social media presence unless you are a politician/entertainer/sportsball person for whom your brand is rather important.

It’s not just the risk of saying something that gets you in trouble, it can also be the act of NOT saying something that gets you criticism. Thinking of the BLM protests

Its a no win situation like most of medicine I guess.

Never de novo comment, still. But be sure to retweet the "correct" people... take a woke person's tweet that has aged well for 48+h w/ universal aplomb and retweet it. It's so simple to get and maintain membership in The Club. For style points, retweet with a "So true" comment or "I needed this today!".

This book really nailed it for me.

And, now, reading people like Bari Weiss - I realize that this illiberality is going to be the end of us.
I am **cautiously** optimistic that we have have witnessed peek wokeness and that the pendulum may be swinging back toward equilibrium, as evidenced by Spotify and Netflix supporting Rogan and Chapelle, respectively.

I can't say I agree with everything these two have said but I sure as hell don't want to live in a society where disagreeing with the mainstream opinion is sufficient cause for banishment
 
Rogan and Chapelle
Do these folks ever get "cancelled"? I mean really. I see comedians with ridiculous NETFLIX contracts complain about getting cancelled or Rogan with his ridiculous contract. Chappelle is a great social commentator but a lot of this content that is questioned revolves around his sense of victimization. He's not getting cancelled.

Rogan is an example of the negative impact of democratization of serious content. It's fine that he's on but also fine that Neil Young is like "eff this platform". He's not getting cancelled.

Now SDN is an example of the positive impact of democratization. More likely that we would get "cancelled".

Rogan is an example who of someone who should've been held accountable for casually spreading misinformation, but instead is being held accountable for something that doesn't require it, and will only enlarge his footprint in the long run.

Another plenary. Relentless. You will be made to care.
 
CANCELLED!

Couldn't have happened to a sweller guy....


He’s really powerful,” the woman said. “Everyone had a very low opinion of him but no one says or does anything about it.”

“If you write a grant, he has to write the letter of support,” she added.

Others who worked with Lieberman described him as dismissive of women and people of color and prone to making misogynistic comments.

“He’s a destructive personality who has done a great deal of damage, who is only now being held accountable after decades of impunity,”
 
Crazy how all this was going on for years but the power of the tweet is what actually took him out.
Social media can be a a tool for change sometimes....

I've always thought it's never a good thing to be on it as a chair or person of importance. Only bad things can happen and Dr Lieberman found that out the hard way that being on SoMe can be a really bad idea
