One of my thesis publications is now available online. It shows how doctors in #palliativecare can display #empathy when telling patients things that are unpalatable. It was co-authored with @alexahepburn and @CACEnotes and can be found here: https://t.co/nePPFywMB6 #EMCA

New (open access) paper!

Friends and family can still accompany patients to remote appointments, but does the telephone affect their involvement? @MarkusReuber and I explore this question in seizure clinics.

Talking to your doctor over the phone or internet might be convenient, but does it have an impact on communication? @MarkusReuber and I consider the evidence in our systematic review of comparative research. Open access and available here: https://t.co/SeFw9Amm9X

@DoctorJRo Human-sized rabbits in a domestic setting, you say?

How would you respond to the idea of a children’s book about Glaser and Strauss’s discovery of grounded theory?

[Joe Ford @Dr_JoeFord]

We’re 10 seconds into 2021, and I’ve already written “2020” on a thousand documents by mistake.

[Joe Ford @Dr_JoeFord]

I’ve been quadruple-spacing my documents for eight months now. No one can accuse me of not taking distancing seriously.

Any truth to the rumour that Karl Marx’s son had a podcast called My Dad Wrote a Manifesto?

[Joe Ford @Dr_JoeFord]

“Any thoughts of harming yourself?” A common question in primary mental health care—but what happens when the answer is ‘yes’? Find out in our latest (open access) paper, which is linked in the tweet below. #mentalhealth #emca #research @UofE_Research @ExeterMed

I’ve decided to change my email sign-off, which has been plain old ‘Regards’ for as long as I can remember. Which alternative should I go with?

[Joe Ford @Dr_JoeFord]

There’s no sentence that can’t be improved by adding “Unlike someone” after it.

[Joe Ford @Dr_JoeFord]

@d_galasinski This is shameless self-promotion, but we published a conversation analysis paper earlier this year on the PHQ-9 being used in practice. Might be of interest. @RoseMcCabe2 @DeSTRESSExeter

I took that National Careers Service quiz. It told me that the Friends character I most resemble is Chandler and that if my personality were a music genre, it would be folk rock. Result!

Pleased to say that our paper on the use of a depression questionnaire in practice is now available open access. You can get it here: https://t.co/20JmJ0AYE8 @RoseMcCabe2 @DeSTRESSExeter #mentalhealth #diagnosis #EMCA

Other suggestions for essential #deathbooks?

[Joe Ford @Dr_JoeFord]

The birthday of the mighty Elisabeth Kübler-Ross this week got me thinking: what are some of the other essential writings on death and dying besides On Death and Dying? A few suggestions from my own (limited) reading... #deathbooks

[Joe Ford @Dr_JoeFord]

There are also the great essayists: Montaigne, Plutarch, Seneca etc. Hard to pin down particular writings because everything they wrote seemed infused with an awareness of mortality. #deathbooks
