Original thread:
Here's another example of why Drew Moghanaki is a punk. His initial tweet was about not asking lung cancer patients whether or not they smoked. Ryckman and Chowdhary diplomatically and respectfully rebutted with the importance to discuss smoking with patients and how one should properly and compassionately do so. While many lung cancer patients are never smokers, many are former/active smokers, and active smoking portends worse outcomes...we all know that.
But here comes drew, talking down to two other colleagues and @ Laura Dawson, the ASTRO president. What the actual eff, man? This is Drew's problem. All he does is brown nose his way through life (see his tweets) and tries to score internet points with lung cancer patients and advocates. I support the mission of cancer patients and realize the stigmatization of smoking especially in lung and H&N patients is problematic, and this fact is not lost on me. However, he is pretty damn self-righteous and should step away from the bottle, especially at this early time in the morning.
