Let us #PrayTogether for those who suffer from the terrible consequences of war. So many young people are going to their deaths! Let us pray that the Lord may grant us the grace to stop the madness of war, which is always a defeat.

Sometimes we don’t change lives by changing outcomes; sometimes we do it by impacting the narratives our patients hold about those outcomes. So grateful to JAMA for sharing this piece. https://t.co/O2u48d3R4O

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

God never leaves us on our own. God waits for us to ask Him to give us a hand. We need to learn how to distinguish God's voice through silent #Prayer and intimate dialogue with Him, treasuring in our hearts that which does us good and gives us peace.

[Nathan Gray MD, FACP @NathanAGray]

Hospice care can be a powerful support, and there are heroes working for all types of hospice agencies.

But I’m not sure I’ll ever feel comfortable with the idea of hospice for profit.#hapc #PalliativeCare

You’d need to be . . . Larger.

(Sometimes we burden patients with things that may not be in their control.)

We must save hospice. https://t.co/L6HMJgXgRV
Recent article by @AvaKofman has sparked heated discussion w/in hospice & palliative care. Much of it defensive. My MD colleagues seem the exception. General sense among HPC docs is: Enough! Time for clinicians to take back our field.
