My amazing dad lived until 90 yo by keeping active in #mind and body by #exercising daily. He passed peacefully today but aged significantly this year with social distancing. If you are able to do so, PLS hug/call your elderly loved ones. ⁦@VUMChealth⁩ ⁦@VUMC_Cancer⁩

I have to say something....I'm not a #politician, I'm not a #PoliceMan, I'm a #cancer #physician that fights #cancer tirelessly, 24/7, nonstop. We ALL have fought against #covid19 in 2020. It breaks my 💔 that we cannot fight #ignorance and #racism with the same magnitude.
