People living with ALS and their caregivers or past caregivers who have received palliative care are invited to take a ~15 minute online survey to share your perspectives on palliative care for ALS.

ALS clinicians of all disciplines are invited to take part in a research study about palliative care for ALS led by Dr. Kara Bischoff at UCSF. The survey will take ~10 minutes, and you will receive a $20 Amazon gift card as a token of our appreciation.

@NathanAGray Thank you. Most patients and their loved ones have no idea to even ask if their hospice is "for profit" or "for people."

[Nathan Gray MD, FACP @NathanAGray]

Re-posting last year’s LA Times comic on challenges with for-profit hospice for anyone who got stuck behind a paywall the first time around… https://t.co/D70R4dvR0H . There are awesome people working in all types of hospices, but for-profit structure feels perilous.

That’s OK. Gulls just wanna have pun.

At the gym I ran into @ZDoggMD: legendary doc, rapper, videographer, explorer of the human condition and friend. I expressed my biceps envy. He led us to the studio for a chat! Watch here: https://t.co/mh0ieEJxKw

👇🏼read these moving words from .@CandrianCarey
“What do I wish you’d do after reading this?
Ask questions. Invite us in. Let us be loved for who we are. Help us stop the fear before it leads to more threatening rhetoric and acts of violence.”

"Medical science has made such tremendous progress that there is hardly a healthy human left." A quote by Aldous Huxley that perfectly sums up the last paragraph of my editorial.
