There comes a point when dying is no longer a medical question to be answered but a spiritual one to be faced. And the way we die can actually be life-changing. #PalliativeCare #goalsofcare #geriatrics

#Psalm91 “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”

[Austin Armstrong, MD @GeriDocAustin]

I met an 84 year old admitted for #trauma yesterday. When asked what they leaned on during times of hardship, they answered without a beat “#Psalms91” Inspiring me this AM to turn to my Memaw’s old Bible. #geriatrics #medicine #faith #healing

@LillaBrody I HEAR you and I FEEL that! Hahah (pic was from while on house calls last week*)

[Austin Armstrong, MD @GeriDocAustin]

I used to argue that the most revealing part of a physical exam to inform us of a patient’s overall medical-psychosocial status was their feet, but I gotta say it’s actuallyyy being in their HOME* 1 of the infinite reasons why house call medicine is the best medicine 🤩🏡🩺♥️👵🏻👴🏽

My Memaw Jane 🌹 My moonbeam ✨My mirror soul 🦋 left this world for her celestial home on May 7th. And while #grief remains all encompassing, I know that her light will radiate through & around me for all the days that I live #grandmother #geriatrics #hospice #palliative #love

We have three centenarians on our consult service this week (100, 101, & 103 yo). Just wrapping my head that these 3 people contain over three hundred years of lived history has the history nerd in me GEEKING OUT 🤯😍🤪 #geriatrics #healthyaging #history

Discovered this week how abstract expressionism is not only a balm for the spirit but also an incredibly powerful medium for expressing and contextualizing experiences in medicine. Cornell Geriatrics goes to the Met field trip 2023! 🤩🎨
