Me: pleasure to do hospital follow ups when the patient doesn't have discharge papers or know why they were hospitalized. gives you time to get to know one another.

If you have ever heard the words "You have cancer" at any point in your life — take a deep breath, remind yourself to be present, and gently whisper, "I'm still here."

I dislike feeling sorry for myself. Yet I am. Even though my husband and children do not make me feel like a burden in any way. I DO. I'm tired of being tired, hurting mentally and physically. I feel useless and pointless.
This. ❤️ This can happen any time, during cancer after cancer, long after cancer and chemo. Doesnt just automatically stop at some point. At least not for all of us.
Hi, ER Doc here.
Every time I see somebody with a nosebleed doing this wrong I feel the need to get this message out:
If your nose is bleeding, DO NOT TILT YOUR HEAD BACK. This just makes the blood drip down the back of your throat and you will then swallow and/or choke on it. Pinch the soft part of your nose and TILT YOUR HEAD FORWARD. Please tell all your friends about this.
Dear Cancer,
What is your long term plan if you kill me — your whole entire environment? Where will you live?!?
Fucking idiot.
Malignantly,
ThanksCancer
@moribunddr Not unprofessional in the least. You're human, I'm sure the relative was comforted by your grief and felt like at least the deceased was well looked after
“Let PAs take a simple history, examine & then discuss with a GP”
Short 🧵 to explain why this wouldn’t work…
GPs are highly trained diagnosticians. With no immediate investigations to hand, the diagnostic skill we use IS history taking & examination.
