Hey #MedTwitter did you know we've never elected a Black doctor as a voting Member of Congress? In an era when anti-DEI initiatives threaten #MedEd do you feel having that voice at the decision-making table is important? I do. #DiversityisStrength 1/3

Amazing talk by Tomoya Akashi on Traditional Chinese Medicine, Orientation Medicine, and the benefits of acupuncture. Definitely got our collective minds running on how our palliative patients could benefit!

Be kind to others and to yourself. Kindness is a choice and a conscious effort. At the end of a long day, in the midst of high acuity, or when we are overwhelmed, it is EASY to be mean or dismissive (and to beat ourselves up too). Instead, take a breath and demonstrate grace.

Today, on #MLKJrDay we celebrate the legacy and achievements of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His leadership and words have touched the world and have helped to shape a better tomorrow.

Once you understand the patient's goals/values under the given medical condition, it is our privilege as medical professionals to make a recommendation on how to achieve the goal. Don't just ask patients what they want. That is the abandonment of your professional privilege.

Very fascinating to know about the untapped potential of buprenorphine in treating our #Hapc patients! Great talk & discussion by multiple #Hapc providers throughout Dallas! #DFWCityWide
In #PalliativeCare, we love working with multidisciplinary and multi-specialty teams. @UTSW_RadOnc, @UTSWHemeOnc, @UTSWENT, & our team worked together to explore long-term opioid use in head and neck cancer survivors. Check out their article! #hapc doi.org/10.1007/s00520-022-0…

Great talk today by Dr. Maddox & Dr. @StocktonBev! 1 of many take-home messages: There are nuances specific to communication in #pedpc. We need to collaborate to provide value-based care and be thoughtful about our discussion w/ kids and families. #hapc #PalliativeCare

A12 In the US, adults 18y+ engage #hospice care after the decision against additional #cancer-directed treatment. So #hospice care for adults provides treatment not for the #cancer itself but symptoms from #cancer and other co-occurring medical conditions. #PancChat #hpm #pallonc

A6.1 Whether patient goals are to aim for a cure, to prolong life, or to ensure peace and dignity throughout the illness and at the end of life, palliative care professionals can help align their care to these goals. #PancChat letswinpc.org/managing-pancr…
Replying to @letswinpc
A4: #PalliativeCare is MULTIDISCIPLINARY care. There is no such thing as a #PalliativeCare team of one. One more time... Embedding a single #SupportiveCare clinician with a pad of triplicates in another specialty's clinic is NOT #PalliativeCare! #PancChat
Replying to @letswinpc
A2: #SupportiveCare is comprehensive holistic data-driven symptom management to maximize quality of life during cancer treatment! It can be delivered by your oncology team or a subspecialty #SupportiveCare / #PalliativeCare team! #PancChat #hpm #hapc #pallonc /1
