Happy Indigenous People's Month 🧡

The longer someone stays in hospital
The higher the risk of hospital acquired harm

that we are not
out of the woods
quite yet
when they refuse to believe
that their being surrounded
by trees
is proof they are in the woods.

Duncan McCue @duncanmccue is a gifted writer, journalist and most important, a teacher. His latest book, “Decolonizing Journalism,” should be taught in every J-school. Warmest congratulations as he embraces what he does best - show the way. Congrats on your move to @JSchool_CU

(1/n) One month into my new tenure as a breast oncologist, I realized I needed some sort of structured way to talk with patients about breast cancer, their diagnosis, and treatment options. As a result, I created this worksheet. I’ve used it with every new patient I’ve…

This is beyond concerning when you remember that Indigenous folx make up only 6-7% of the population in this country. We have a problem. We’ve had a problem for a long time. It’s time to stop ignoring it. #MMIWG2S
