Significant ethical point from today's #greatlakespalliative23 workshop clinical ethicist: Losing capacity does not mean losing autonomy... Consider whether the patient has 'capacity for preferences' Great approach to include non-decisional patients in GOC discussions. #hapc

I don’t think we’ve ever met in person. Part of me thinks that your tweets are written by my just waking subconscious self. About a 99+% concordance rate. Outside of the running tweets. Question: is @PaulNWilliamz a real person? Or do I need a break from my phone?

How do we avoid the pitfalls of the phrase “goals of care” when it is difficult (impossible?) to measure? 🤔 #hapc #greatlakespalliative22

“An LVAD is like a parachute - you want to use it early as heart failure progresses - it won’t do any good if you use it when you’re 20 feet off the ground” - Dr. Kursel from @MCWcardiology #hapc #greatlakespalliative22

Caregivers at end-of-life - in addition to be spouses and children, they have to be nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists and housekeepers - 60% perform technical tasks @JessicaZitter #hapc #greatlakespalliative22

🤔 “I think of emotion like pus under pressure…” @TobyCampbellMD #greatlakespalliative22
When communicating with patients and families, make sure you’re talking to the right organ - the head vs the heart. @TobyCampbellMD #greatlakespalliative22
“Yes, but…” how midwesterners say no. @TobyCampbellMD #greatlakespalliative22
Kicking off the 10th Annual Great Lakes Palliative Care conference with a communication session with a workshop on communication and another on palliative emergencies - so great to be back in person! #greatlakespalliative22

Or as I tell rotators - you can be stably dead
Milad Sharifpour, MD@MSharifpourMD29 Mar 2022
Stable is a relative term in medicine. Stable on pressor(s)? Stable on ECMO? Gotta be more specific

How often have you used, or read, these words when discussing prognosis? What do they truly mean to patients and families? A graphic representation from @NathanAGray #greatlakespalliative21 #hpm #hapc @CareMcw @DukePallCare

"All care provided to patients with ESLD is palliative until transplant..." The challenge is when should specialty palliative care be initiated? A challenge recognized by hepatologists and #hapc providers alike. #greatlakespalliative21 #hpm @CareMcw @MedicalCollege
