Latest info sheet from @ICUsteps
about patients who may be dying on ICU. Uncertainty features heavily & it's important to understand that Care should be permanent, even though treatments may change or become inappropriate for the dying.

[Harvey Max Chochinov @HMChochinov]

Families can invoke Intensive Caring in the service of caring for loved ones, knowing that what they are doing matters, and that their continued presence, involvement, and support are, absolutely and undeniably, enough. https://t.co/rmEIT0CTOR #DIGNITY #IntensiveCaring

I have worked in patient facing roles since the early 2000s and have never had the process of death explained. In this short vid, @drkathrynmannix explanation changed the way I understand death. A powerful video.

@ArronSam Loving this thread. The collective experience is so helpful to expand our thinking and practice.

[Arron Veltre-Catlin @ArronSam]

@HMChochinov @SammyWinemaker I’ve already been sharing this concept in my networks, made all the more powerful because it has come from Harvey Chochinov whose thinking, writing and programs are so well respected.

In the last weeks of life, people who are dying show us how to;
1. Adapt
2. Be humble
3. Receive intimate care
4. Rely on others
5. Face mortality
6. Forgive
7. Show strength
Sometimes they even show us the possibility of transcendence & peace.

Why doctors should be trained in home-based care;
1. Appreciate 'family' as part of care team
2. Learn how to co-create care plans
3. Feel power differential disappear
4. Understand home when discharge planning
5. Learn to collaborate w/ community providers

The hardest messages to sell about #Palliativecare;
1. It is an approach to care.
2. Deserving of anyone facing life-limiting illness or aging.
3. Starts at diagnosis.
4. Delivered by all #Doctors & #Nurses.
5. NOT a label, diagnosis or point in time.

[Susan May @SueColen]

I agree - something to aspire to in every day clinical work

[Samantha Winemaker she/her @SammyWinemaker]

Euphemisms for #Palliativecare;
1. Good care
2. Person centred care
3. Needs driven care
4. Family centred care
5. Honest medicine
6. Realistic care
7. Comprehensive care
8. Family medicine
9. Continuous care
Sounds like the care I went to #medicalschool to learn.
