Thought this might be another hype article, but instead I found an informative article from the perspective of a physician on the front lines treating patients with CAR-T therapy.
- jessriedel 7y agoI also found it pretty illuminating to hear from a practicing physician how CAR-T is actually deployed, and what it's like to deal with all the complications of a brand new treatment like that. (I found the human-interest component to be useless and distracting, as usual, but these vignettes are so ubiquitous it's hard to fault the author for following the script.)
- vo2maxer 7y agoFor physicians, it is understanding the biology together with the patient’s unique humanity which makes it much more rewarding or heartbreaking depending on outcome. As William Osler said: “The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.”
