Patient Perspective

President’s Corner: The ACR & Pediatric Rheumatology

Carol A. Langford, MD, MHS  |  June 7, 2025

My first exposure to pediatric rheumatology came during my adult rheumatology fellowship, when pediatric rotations were part of our curriculum. This experience brought home for me the many differences between childhood and adult rheumatic diseases and the important role pediatric rheumatologists play in patient outcomes. This role has long been appreciated by the ACR/ARP, where…

Incorporating Patient-Reported Outcomes into the Clinic

Katie Robinson  |  May 5, 2025

‘Measuring patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is an important component of high-quality, patient-centered care, but integration of PROs into clinic can be challenging,’ says Physician Editor Bharat Kumar, MD, MME, FACP, FAAAAI, RhMSUS. ‘Luckily, tools exist to help us realize this vital aspect of patient care.’ The ACR’s quality measures for care include gauging disease activity and…

Cannabis for Pain Management in Rheumatology

Joanna Zeiger, PhD, & Kaleb Michaud, PhD  |  March 7, 2025

‘Cannabis has a long history of being used for pain management,’ says Physician Editor Bharat Kumar, MD, MME, FACP, FAAAAI, RhMSUS. ‘What does it mean for rheumatology patients moving forward? Read our article for one answer to this question.’ As cannabis becomes more widely legalized, both in the U.S. and internationally, its use for pain…

CMS to Host Town Halls on Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program

Rheuminations: How to Counteract Patients’ Eroding Trust in Healthcare

Bharat Kumar, MD, MME, FACP, FAAAAI, RhMSUS  |  February 5, 2025

At first, there was an incomprehensibly loud explosion. And out of that explosion, about 4.5 billion years afterward, emerged the world’s first rheumatologist. Only a few notable things have happened between these two events, but the most important dynamic has been the continuous expansion of our universe. If the speculations of many cosmologists are correct,…

Rheuminations: Imagine a Better World for Clinicians & Our Patients

Bharat Kumar, MD, MME, FACP, FAAAAI, RhMSUS  |  January 8, 2025

The world didn’t end on Jan. 1, 2000. The Y2K bug didn’t crash airplanes and liquidate bank assets. We were, overall, hopeful for the future—a new millennium full of futuristic visions of a techno-utopia. Fast forward a quarter of a century and we now live in that technologically advanced age that once seemed so far…

Rheuminations: The Tenacity of Hope

Bharat Kumar, MD, MME, FACP, FAAAAI, RhMSUS  |  December 9, 2024

It’s dark. It’s cold. And it’s 5 p.m. here in Iowa. If that sounds rather bleak to you, I wouldn’t blame you. But to Stella, my 12-year-old canine companion, it’s a wonderland. She’s half-Shetland sheepdog and half-American Eskimo, so the colder and snowier it is, the more she feels at home. And although I do…

Lupus & Nightmares

Lara C. Pullen, PhD  |  November 11, 2024

Dr. David D’Cruz’s research attempts to help patients make sense of chronic nightmares, an understudied symptom of lupus.

Role Reversal: When the Doctor Becomes a Patient

Bharat Kumar, MD, MME, FACP, FAAAAI, RhMSUS  |  September 8, 2024

It was like a reverse Uno card had been thrown onto the table. My patient was now asking his rheumatologist, “Are you okay? You look like you’re in a lot of pain.” He was right. I was wincing trying to get up from my seat and limping trying to get a few steps over to…
