After nearly two years of the pandemic, doctors like me need a break.

My wife issued an edict nixing our attendance at her family’s annual holiday gathering this year.

I teach residents and medical students to be careful about using the word “forever.” Illnesses always evolve and bothersome symptoms rarely persist for the long run, at least not in their original form.

The aggressive spread of the Delta virus is a clarion call for the unvaccinated, as it is for the FDA.

“Love is the Strongest Medicine” offers a revealing and intimate view of Dr. Steven Eisenberg’s two decades in oncology practice and traces the emergence of his unique persona: “the singing doctor.”

LA needs help with its biggest shot ever: the COVID-19 vaccination. 

The combination of vaccine avoidance and resistance to wearing masks guarantees that COVID infections will extend into the future like a dramatic Wyoming vista.

Although the FDA rescinded the moratorium, the fear generated won’t simply dissipate.

In the past year, we’ve suffered the loss of gatherings with friends and families, workplace interactions and social events like birthday parties, bar/bat mitzvahs, weddings and funerals.

The tide may be turning in our favor. We all need to do our part to maximize the chances of success.
