More “Cage Rattling,” Less Talking: Susan Love’s Lessons for Oncologists
Manage episode 407461997 series 3560609
In early July, beloved surgeon and breast cancer advocate Susan Love, MD, MBA, died at age 75 years, after a recurrence of leukemia. Dr. Love’s legacy extends beyond the lives of her patients and into the approaches and attitudes of her fellow physicians. Stephanie Graff, MD, medical advisor to the Dr. Susan Love Foundation for Breast Cancer Research and director of breast oncology at the Legorreta Cancer Center at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, shares memories and insights about Dr. Love with Bob Figlin, MD, the Steven Spielberg Family Chair in hematology-oncology at Cedars-Sinai Cancer in Los Angeles. They discuss why talking less, listening more, and “rattling” the right cages are key lessons oncologists can take away from “a giant in cancer care” and mentor, who is already sorely missed.
