The message about scleroderma we need to keep on saying to those outside of rheumatology:

survival is dictated by organ involvement
screening is needed regardless!

@maferradastrong is an inspiration.
She was driven to improve outcomes for relapsing polychondritis, the disease she lives with, & now she leads her field.
Truly the model of a patient-physician, always so much to learn from her.
