It has now been 26 days since the last reported case of measles in Los Angeles. Since the incubation time for measles is 21 days, this should mean we have seen the last of our local outbreak. Parents of babies too young to be vaccinated can breathe easier and feel comfortable resuming normal activities.
Dr. Schramm featured in podcast about organ donation
I recently participated in a podcast about organ donation, as I donated part of my liver in May 2024. I encourage everyone to have discussions with their family members about the possibility of organ donation, and to register with giftoflife.org to see if they are a match for someone who needs a lifesaving bone marrow transplant. If you can make time to hear everyone's story that would be wonderful, but if not, the sections about my experience are at 9:22, 46:51, 1:21:00, 1:40:10, 1:52:24 and 2:13:29.
