One day, our children will ask us about the injustice of our time. They will ask what we did for the vulnerable. If there is one lesson from history, it is that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. Be an advocate! #MentalHealth #equity #publichealth #HeForShe

I would love to see a shift in language away from that of “difficult patients”. Often folks who have experienced the most trauma in their lives have learned certain behaviours as a means of survival. Truly understanding this can go such a long way. #MedEd #MedTwitter

Something I learned from my unit’s nurse manager: ask every patient, “What’s the most important thing we can address for you today?” You may be surprised how often it’s not what you thought. And how much it means to patients that you asked. #medtwitter #patientcenteredcare

It’s Friday night. I’m sober. My kids are sleeping down the hall. Dogs are cuddled up at the foot of the bed. My pregnant wife is curled up next to me. And being sober helps me appreciate the awesomeness of it all. #Grateful

Stunning that a nurse with a SUD is taken out of practice and placed in an intensive monitoring program for years all in the name of public safety. Yet, nurses can publicly boast about discriminating against certain subsets of patients and this isn’t viewed as a safety issue 🤔.
