"I was a healthy 29-year-old vegetarian with no family history of breast cancer. In some ways, it was the loss of this illusion of safety that was the most humbling part of my diagnosis. I really was only a moment away from becoming a patient myself, and no amount of schooling or years of clinical training could protect me."

-- JAMA A Piece of My Mind, June 27, 2024, Even Better, Lydia Henderson, MD
