Key Moments:
At 2:04 “Software is easy to change and people are hard to change.”
At 24:56 “If I'm a doctor and let's say I'm in a community hospital environment, which is 80% of where cancer gets treated, and I'm dealing with a dozen or two dozen different kinds of cancer, I may not know. I had a patient that looked like you six months ago or a year ago, and this was the best thing at that time. Therefore, this is the best thing for you. And the patient says, no, did you not know about bispecifics or whatever the immunotherapy is or whatever the new, new thing is? And so the patient who's coming in fresh with open eyes finds things that the doctor who spends his or her life doing this kind of work is not able to keep up with.”
At 42:12 “Cancer Patient Lab is the patient-led learning community that I co-founded that is a source of education and services for advanced cancer patients outside of the standard of care.”
