The resident and fellow physicians at @PennMedicine are unionizing!!

UPenn housestaff would the first residents in Pennsylvania to unionize. We are determined to not only improve patient care at UPenn, but to set standards for what residency and equity in healthcare should be.

😔 Hospital visitor restrictions reduced caregivers' contact with the medical team, causing caregivers & patients emotional distress. Facilitating communication may benefit caregivers who cannot be present.

While a true pleasure to write this with friends @vitaincerta and @AnneSongMD …I really wish it didn’t need to be written in the first place.

I invite my fellow researchers to reflect a bit on why they might consider someone with a lived experience of a health condition researching it more biased than someone without.

Time again to revisit hospital "visitation" (family presence) policies. @washingtonpost @angelahaupt recently ran a piece providing tips for how to manage as a family member when you're not allowed in https://t.co/oRJSobvWRf Clinicians and health system leaders should do more 🧵

Thank you, @releiter, for yet another incredibly thoughtful and important piece: "when we set societal expectations for a good death, we claim a command over nature that we don’t always have."

[Anne Song @AnneSongMD]

@AbbyRosenbergMD @SchenkerYael @rabob Thank you so much for this incredibly poignant piece: "Hope is fluid, expandable, and persistent. Holding complex, flexible, and diverse hopes enables patients to believe in the unlikely while simultaneously accepting the inevitable. The role of clinicians is to support both."

[Abby Rosenberg, MD, MS, MA @AbbyRosenbergMD]

“Rather than being concerned hope is so fragile it can be lost or so powerful it can overwhelm, remember hope is protective, if not necessary, for managing serious illness.”

So grateful to write with ⁦@SchenkerYael⁩ ⁦@rabob⁩!

"Health care systems can now leverage
knowledge and evidence gained over the first year of the
pandemic to promote the safe return of families to the
bedside, which will promote the well-being of patients,
families, and physicians."
