This paper identifies two major challenges facing nurses as they work to care well for the dying. First, American medicine operates on the presupposition that life must be maintained and suffering...

Great article from @matthew_loftus about MAHA and medicalization
From Tylenol to pill-pushing doctors who don't know enough about nutrition, RFK Jr. is always searching for a simple villain to blame and MAHA is always searching for some aspect of health to control. My latest @mereorthodoxy: https://t.co/T5wowyOxZR

When I ask patients about religious communities, I learn something important about what and whom my patients love and where they find hope, even in the hard situations when love has been betrayed and hope seems distant. And I'm grateful for the trust that we build together.
"Pts’ community participation can be a powerful determinant of health—an essential part of your assessment & care plan. Try asking, 'Are you part of a faith community, & how is it affecting you right now?'"- @WarrenKinghorn @DukeDivinity @DukePsychiatry

Earlier this year I had the privilege of speaking at the Calvin Symposium on Worship about how Christians can work to prevent suicide and to support survivors of suicide loss. The recording of that conversation is now available here: https://t.co/EfvdW7Jhrm

To those who are struggling or considering suicide, here is the message of Christian faith: You matter. You are loved. Your life has meaning and value. Don’t give up. There is hope for your future. Do not harm yourself, for we are all here. @CTmagazine

How can we engage our own loneliness and respond to the epidemic of social isolation and loneliness around us? I enjoyed being in conversation about this with Marcus Goodyear and Camille Hall-Ortega on The Echoes Podcast @hebfdn: https://t.co/L15P3j7raT

Appreciate the reporting here. The challenge for PEPFAR is 3-fold at this point: 1. Funding for approved/waiver programs doesn't seem to be flowing across the board. 2. Many programs that are worthwhile have been permanently terminated 3. New budget threatens to cut what's left.
More than a month after @marcorubio issued waivers that were supposed to keep lifesaving foreign aid flowing, many relief groups administering PEPFAR still can’t access funds for those lifesaving programs. New @thedispatch: https://t.co/DhVHr9AW0w

I wish that you could see what it looks like when a young mother dies from AIDS. The flushed skin, the wet rattle of fluid-filled lungs with every breath. I think most people would be a lot less callous about PEPFAR and USAID being destroyed if you could see it.
