🤝There is lots of overlap between survivorship care and palliative care but what is the state of science? We answer this question in our paper Bridging the gap: Palliative care integration into survivorship care sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #Survivorship #PalliativeCare #HPaC

When the page says “GOC please”… Pagers and electronic messages are great for notifying about consults, but for consults about discussions of medical preferences in serious illness, a phone call can be priceless. #hapc #palliativecare #graphicmedicine

Dying is often missed until the final days of life. In reality, dying from a progressive life-limiting illness can start months before death. The subtle early signs are often attributed to everything else. Precious time is stolen in the frenzy to fix normal dying. #MedTwitter

I want to share what I think about MDs. I love each and everyone that busted their ass, borrowed too much money, sacrificed more than we can ever quantify, in hopes of helping their patients. Medicine is an imprecise science. The uncertainties far outnumber the absolutes.

"Fight until the very end" may sound nice. But if we were to do CPR - We will remove family from the room - 10 strangers come into the room and start pressing the chest. Rather, should family stay at bedside and hold the loved one's hand? We need to explain that.

As doctors, we’re often more comfortable seeing blood than tears… Lacrimation sends us scrambling. (1/3 - thread since Twitter only allows 4 photos per tweet.) #hapc

U.S. Senate offices told us they haven’t heard from enough constituents about #PCHETA so, w/ @PatientQoL, we’re going to deliver letters from supporters in their state. Will you sign your name by 10/19 & help advance this critical legislation? #HPM #HAPC bit.ly/3dQXNqC
