Palliative care: Is not owned by one specialty in healthcare. Should be naturally infused into the entire care journey. Should be delivered seamlessly without labels. Is an approach to care that balances hope & reality. # Medtwitter #Palliativecare #Healthpolicy #Meded

His voice is weak. Now just a whisper. A friend had an idea. Brought over an old karaoke machine. To amplify his lyrics. In this, his final gig. #Palliative #Palliativecare #Hospice #Medtwitter #Caregivers #Nursetwitter #Tuesdaymotivations #Meded #PatientCare

Birth Infancy Childhood Adolescence Adulthood Aging Stages of the life cycle. The details of each well studied & described, including the physiologic changes. But not dying. It’s ignored & hidden. Anyone else find this disturbing? No wonder there’s fear! #Medtwitter

Bring the essence of you to every healthcare interaction. You know YOU best. The ideal care plan is hatched when the healthcare provider sees you as a unique person. #Healthcare #PatientExperience #PatientEmpowerment #Palliative #Meded #Advocacy #Caregiver #Doctor

I am grateful that I have practised #Palliativecare for ~two decades. I was able to use my knowledge of common dying as a ‘good enough’ guide. But each illness category will add a layer of uniqueness….that shouldn’t be left as a surprise. 5/6🧵 #Medtwitter

If anorexia is an illness that can sometimes become progressive & life shortening, then why was it so hard for me to find out how a person will die? This info needs to be more accessible for many reasons… 3/6🧵 #Medtwitter
