Update:
@Cigna
after a peer to peer review
@Cigna
denied my request. It was denied by a family medicine practitioner who has never in their life treated a patient with leukemia. In what world are we living here?
@Cigna
is this how you treat your patients? Really? Do better!!
@Cigna
declining to pay cost for inpatient admission for one of my leukemia patients with WBC > 150 K. Per their opinion not medically necessary to admit patient. Are you guys for real? Shame on you!

@LeukemiaJnl
! Many preclinical studies using RBM39 molecular glue degraders e.g indisulam. We show that E7820, an anti-cancer sulfonamide, degrades RBM39 in patients with splicing factor mutant myeloid malignancies

Final update: finally insurance agreed to pay in full. I am glad it is resolved but it took a long time and too much time and effort to get it done in my opinion.
If you are a young Asian American (age 18-24) and are interested in participating in one study about your identity work in digital spaces, that’s the one!! A lot of thoughts and hard work went into it. Please consider participating!
When my brother and I first came to the U.S. being just 20 year old kids, John and his wife Catherine served in loco parentis for us. Without him, I would not have become an academic oncologist nor would I have met my wife and built a life in the U.S.

I believe that among his many achievements, what he will be most remembered for is his limitless generosity to countless students who had the good fortune to know him and learn from him.
Angela Merkel leaves office and the military band plays Beethoven, Hildegard Knef and … Punk (du hast den Farbfilm vergessen!). If that is not a perfect testament to a complex and remarkable leader, I don’t what is!
@Humana
declining an FDA approved medication for a patient with acute leukemia. Then not answering my phone calls or putting me on hold for hours. Shame on you!! You are the truly worst of healthcare.
@Humana
healthcare is the absolute worst company with terrible service to their patients. Not approving FDA approved drugs for leukemia patients in need. They should be ashamed!!
