Honored to partner with Jared Rubenstein, MD on this creation. The sadness is already present, being sick is sad. But palliative care involvement brings opportunities to support and alleviate the hardship. That is something I don’t feel sad about.

Rewatching Ted Lasso this holiday season and reminded to “Be curious, not judgmental.” So many powerful lessons we can all learn from this brilliant show. Inspired by my awesome colleagues who have synthesized these thoughts.

Getting ready for #NewYearsEve celebrations with our next episode! Make a resolution now to listen when it's released, and finish out your 2021 in a festive, palliative way.

Really enjoyed talking with the fantastic Sarah and Dan at PediPal for this one. Also LOVED hearing from Allison Silverstein and Chris Adrian. Such an excellent conversation. 🍸Sit down, have a chat, join the party. #pedpc #hapc #MedEd

Just a reminder to tell someone you appreciate them today (and why!). Even the folks who tell you they’re fine. #thisishard #iappreciateyou

Lately, I have been reminded of the African proverb, "Rain can soak a leopard's skin, but it does not wash out its spots." Nevertheless, hoping the rain will pass.

Struck by the mailing of home tests of "1 per address, includes 4 tests". Ignores multigen fams/shared housing. These structures are more common among racial/ethnic minorities, and among lower SES. An example of how higher income, White mores get codified into policy.

Another day in the life.

Yes. Yes yes yes. Great thread.

My patient’s wife just coordinated a family meeting with her 4 grown children to make sure everyone was on the same page for their elderly father’s goals of care. She validated their feelings and explored their wishes and worries. Everyone was heard. Beautiful. #PalliativeCare

Amazing. So proud to call Marta Salek not only a colleague but also a friend.

Self-compassion life-hack. If you find yourself saying you feel guilty, try replacing ‘guilt’ with shame. ‘I feel guilty I’m missing work because I’m sick’ becomes ‘I am ashamed I’m sick and need coverage.’ If it doesn’t warrant shame it doesn’t warrant guilt. Release it 💕

I take lexapro 10 mg daily because if I don't I wake at 3 am ruminating on stupid stuff Just thought you might like to know
