Please tell me more about your cancer care when you ✂️ back your palliative care dept & let go the only FT palliative care doc. PC is proven to be EBM - not only improving QOL but also improving survival rate in patients with lung cancer. Disappointed in my hometown & Alma mater

PSA: For folx out there with a VP shunt who have to get a mammogram be sure to tell your tech - otherwise they may think there is a “hair artifact” on an image and keep resmooshing your breast tissue unnecessarily.
Excited for #hapc24 and to return to phoenix. Hard to believe it’s been 10yrs since I lived there. Seems like yesterday!
My aunt passed away surrounded by family today. Claudia will be sorely missed as she brought a lot of love and laughter - as she enjoyed pulling pranks. She was a woman of strong faith, loved reading, enjoyed working at the library, and homeschooling her grandkids. Rest easy.

I was not yet expecting to have to deal with aging mother issues as my maternal grandparents are still alive and living independently. Moms in hospital for 2nd time in less than 7 days. Any advice from other professionals living far away from parents, other than move? #struggle

The purpose of a family meeting is not to change their mind or sway them to one way or another, but to make sure they truly understand what they are choosing.

People with disabilities make better doctors and are valuable to healthcare, so we should provide them with the disability accommodations they need.
Might have bought ALL the books from the book sale happening at the hospital today. Ok so not all but 10. Reminded me of the scholastic book fairs I ADORED as a kid. #booklovers

I heard a consulting clinician tell me recently that a patient’s care was “approaching futility,” so I thought it fair to re-post this reminder that the F-word is perceived very differently by patients and providers (and rarely builds bridges at the bedside). #hapc #MedTwitter
