My traditional July 1 post for the last few years. Wishing joy in medicine for all those rising students, interns, residents, fellows, and faculty.

Welcome to a fantastic group of 2024-25 Hopkins Palliative Medicine fellows!!! Grateful to have you all join alongside us in supporting and learning as we care for those with serious illness!! hopkinsmedicine.org/palliative-car… #hpm #hapc

Please join us in welcoming our new Hospice & Palliative Medicine fellows for 2024-2025! Learn more about them here: hopkinsmedicine.org/palliative-car…

Working #palliative consults in the hospital this week, and I’m grateful that around the globe and in numerous settings, palliative clinicians from a variety of disciplines are out there striving for better QOL for patients across ages and stages of serious illness. #hapc

Contrary to popular belief #PalliativeCare is delivered not only within the #Hospice setting We get all over…… Lovely illustration Nathan Gray MD, FACP ✍️

Gentle reminder about the “F-word” (not that one). The concept of “Medical futility” has an important place in academic and philosophical discussions of ethics and practice, but the word rarely builds bridges at the bedside. #hapc #medicalethics

Anybody else have a symptom that they can’t help internalizing when someone mentions it? (Maybe I just need to stay better hydrated haha.)

Artist’s pain scale (from the archives..) where’s your pain at today? More Warhol or more Goya??
