Air hunger
Death rattle
Shutting down

These terms are downright scary!!

It’s no wonder people avoid the topic of dying.

Language matters!

Instead;
Breathlessness
Wet respirations
Declining

Don’t contribute to the unnecessary catastrophizing of ordinary dying!!

Twitter. The ads are already taking over. We are guessing that the bill for use of Twitter's "free" speech will be presented in the not-too-distant future.

[AGEScapes @AGEScapes]

This.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Lmao at a billionaire earnestly trying to sell people on the idea that “free speech” is actually a $8/mo subscription plan

Normally don’t tweet family but so proud of my son Millan who spent his last year in High school doing this project. “Dad I learned so much. Maybe this doctor thing isn’t so bad.” Tears of joy. Thx @MeloneyOliveira @Rush_Nephrology.

"So somebody is going to be making decisions about what we see on Twitter. It can be made out in the open; it can be made out in public; it can be made by a commission; we can decide to do that; we make the rules posted and out there for anybody to see; or it can be made by

one billionaire in a very dark room based on what's running around in the middle of his head. Me. I think decisions should be made out in the open. I don't think any billionaire, any billionaire, ought to be the one who has that kind of power to decide how Americans and

Our heartfelt wish Dr. @AmitAryaMD is that your birthday week is filled with desired recognizations & that more join in the fervent request to "let's keep pushing." Thank you for all that you do & belated happy birthday!

[Dr. Amit Arya @AmitAryaMD]

Today's my birthday & all I want is for our governments to recognize that:

-public healthcare is worth saving
-liberation from ageism & ableism is possible
-we can get through the pandemic if we're all in this together
-people matter more than profits!

Let's keep pushing ✊🏽

This is not okay. Sadly, it happens across Canada.

My parents live in the #Toronto area. I've been trying to help them find a new family dr after theirs retired. I found a clinic that had availability. Yet they notified me that my elderly parents would have to line up outside their clinic to snag a spot. How is this ok? #canpoli

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

This tweet by the CDC director should be reported for misinformation because it deliberately leaves out masks and ventilation/filtration, two of the most effective measures against all *respiratory* viruses.

[Yoni Freedhoff @YoniFreedhoff]

The good news is that respiratory viruses can't evolve to evade the laws of physics, and so masks and clean air along with vaccination and thoughtful social and public health policies can absolutely defeat them. The bad news is we're apparently the dumbest species on earth.

[Javeed Sukhera MD PhD @javeedsukhera]

On this day as I turn 42, what would I say to my 6 year old self? You are loved. You are worthy. Be grateful and fierce. Stay humble and present. Be everything that you are because it will always be more than enough.

[Javeed Sukhera MD PhD @javeedsukhera]

I’ve been home in Canada for a few days and I’ve spent time with several friends who work in healthcare. The entire Canadian healthcare system is collapsing and there are no clear short term solutions. I have never ever seen things this bad. It is beyond heartbreaking.

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

Can we please stop calling folks who have trouble accessing healthcare “hard to reach?" Remember that many people face real structural barriers to accessing healthcare (eg language, transportation, trauma). If anything, we in healthcare are the ones who are hard to reach!

[Dr. Brian Goldman @NightShiftMD]

To those who attacked me personally for complaining that my taxi driver wasn't wearing a mask while coughing and sniffling. I'm a frontline ER MD. We wear masks EVERY shift. If I get covid, a colleague will have to work my shift which adds to their stress. Think about that.
