If you are at #AGS23 and interested in coming to work with us at #UW’s amazing safety net hospital in Seattle come find me. We are looking to hire a geriatrician/clinician educator.

@AkankshaMD @adamhayden @TheLizArmy @lisaoleary524 @NBTStweets @Lifeiskitsch @dfarons @CBlotner_ @Tsarmstrong01 @BethanyKwan I might also follow it with a slide at some point about patients who are hoping for a miracle and not telling those patients that they have a bad prognosis over and over.

@AkankshaMD @adamhayden @TheLizArmy @lisaoleary524 @NBTStweets @Lifeiskitsch @dfarons @CBlotner_ @Tsarmstrong01 @BethanyKwan This is great Akanksha! I know you have "permission" under the right time, but I'd probably reinforce that - like have a whole slide just before this one about asking permission before giving prognostic information.

@publicroad I just ordered myself two boxes of citrus for delivery in the winter. I should have written myself a note!

@christinelimont @KateBUW and I made a Gerianium (geriatrics cranium) some years ago from instructions we found on MedEd Portal, maybe you could make a Nephranium game?

@ajai_dandekar my kids would definitely have loved ramen in their halloween bucket. They might have complained that it wasn't their favorite "chicken breathing fire" brand though.

@ajai_dandekar He will be the other young person in Seattle who knows how to drive a stick shift! We did the same with our son. It was my car from residency, which has now died.

[Susan Merel @SusanMerel]

@reemsterMD Love this Reema!

[Susan Merel @SusanMerel]

@ajai_dandekar ah yes, pulling out the "things the kids won't eat" menu. enjoy.

@gbosslet @toxchick42 That's one of my favorite recipes! Good with any green veggie, including frozen peas if you don't have asparagus. This is a very easy weeknight staple: https://t.co/vTy7iIBbWr

@Pahwa This. My 13-year old really wanted to hear what Biden had to say about it and was disappointed with what he did say.

[Susan Merel @SusanMerel]

@jeannemfarnan pockets?

[Susan Merel @SusanMerel]

@Merz @NNkinsi I actually always wondered about that one when I drove by. Will need to try that one too!

[Susan Merel @SusanMerel]

@NNkinsi that's a good reminder! For some reason I always forget how great the Arboretum is!
