Weekend good vibes: Former board member Mike Frazier captured the heart of George Mark in his poem House on a Hill — a place where “tears convert to laughter” and “sadness turns to joy.” Read the full blog + poem: https://t.co/gJ1eMlzoCl

Dear med students:

Hold the hand of the patient who needs you. Sit down. Lean in. Be present.

Trust your instincts, even when those around you don't understand or respond in the same way. This skill may have been trained out of them years ago, but hold onto it with both hands.

Wow, quote cloud from (de-identified) patients undergoing follow-up for treated cancer 👇🏻

There is so much more to life than what we can see on scans or assay in labs

Embodied experience is not as readily quantifiable but then again not everything that matters can be measured

Let’s get our patients who cannot be fixed home safely with the best quality of life possible. 🎩 tip to the authors.

I've practiced dermatology for over 30 years.
The greatest truth:
The pigment of skin, melanin, is located in the epidermis.
That layer is <1mm thick.
Operating on the skin of 1,000s of people of all colors, once I cut through that thin pigmented layer,
EVERYONE LOOKS THE SAME.

3. Needs-based criteria are better than time-based referrals (btw patients agree about this when surveyed)

13 years ago this month, my son was diagnosed with brain cancer. I promised him that I would do everything I could to help kids with #ChildhoodCancer. It’s the only thing he asked us to do. Not to help him, but to help others. I would be grateful for a follow or a RT to spread awareness and honor his journey. 🙏🏻

Serious illness conversation hack: Stop asking “What is your understanding of the situation?” Say “What have the doctors told you so far?” It shifts the blame from the patients unable to understand to the providers not doing a good job of explaining. #wordsmatter @vitaltalk

[Arif Kamal MD, MBA, MHS @arifkamalmd]

Cancer care has become more compassionate because of expanded access to palliative care. Momentum must continue so all Americans benefit; #PCHETA does just that. Thanks @SenatorCapito @SenatorBaldwin. Passing #PCHETA should be Senate #1 priority. @AAHPM @CoalitionHPC

[AAHPM @AAHPM]

#PCHETA was reintroduced in the U.S. Senate today as #S2243! AAHPM is honored to have helped develop this bipartisan legislation to expand the #palliative care workforce, awareness & research. Read our press release: https://t.co/Ui8UIJTIkn
