“We will continue to critically examine the status quo and actively work toward an antiracist world by centering people who are disenfranchised and disproportionately exposed to unhealthy environments.”

Thanks for an incredible year @UCLAFSPH.

The senseless act of violence in Tulsa strikes at the heart of our organization. Dr. Preston Phillips became an AOA fellow in 2006 and has served as a member of the Own The Bone Steering Committee. His dedication to patient care and service to orthopaedics was exemplary.

Pediatrician here. I want people to know that death by firearm is not rare in kids. In fact, it has been the #1 cause death in this age group since 2020. In 2020 alone, 4300 children died from firearms. That’s equivalent to one Boeing 747 plane crash every month for 9 months.

Biden addressing the shooting in Uvalde: “Don't tell me we can't have an impact on this carnage. . . What in god's name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone? Deer aren't running through the forest with kevlar vests on for god's sake. It's just sick."

I wonder if patients know that sometimes we wake up at 4am and think of them and then can’t go back to sleep bc we are worrying if they’re ok.

Sharing honest prognostic information with patients gives them back power. Power to write the last chapter of their story, power to die on their terms, and power to create a legacy. #PalliativeCare #PediPC #PediPalliative #MedTwitter

@palliativebear Hi. What’s been good today? What’s been bad?

[Dr. Cia @CiaMerin]

The decision to transition your child to comfort care is one that takes profound love and courage. I’m honored to bear witness to this. When asked how I do this work, I say there is more love than pain. Today was another day of love. #PediPalliative #PediPC #PalliativeCare

When people ask me how I do this work, I go back to a quote from one of my dear mentors: “As much pain as I see in this field, I see much more love. #PalliativeCare #pediPC
