“I don’t want to be resuscitated. If it’s time, just let me go. As long as it’s OK with my mom.” -13 yo with cancer going on hospice. This has replayed on loop in my head since it happened and will continue to haunt me for years. #pedpc #hapc #hpm #thosewecarry

Please don’t make me choose pickup or delivery to see your online menu, I just need to practice my drive-thru order

Apple slices with peanut butter are so delicious. Why is this never offered in adult environments? Like instead of just sliders & fried brussel sprouts I would like a plate of various apples and nut butters for happy hour.

I’m a simple woman and don’t ask for much. Five meals a day. Nine hours of sleep. A pair of yoga pants, complete solitude, and no social obligations whatsoever.

Shorts and hoodie weather this week. If you see a Midwesterner smiling and enjoying themselves, leave them be. This is a spiritual time for us.

When you put in a consult note for a patient and the primary team doesn't write that they appreciate your recommendations in their note the next day

[Sarah Hollowell 🦝 @sarahhollowell]

Laying in bed every night thinking "Wow, it would be so nice to read before bed." The book is right next to me. I have chosen the book. I have prepared the book. Why can I not pick up the book. Why can I not open the book and read the book. Why is there only Scrolling.

What happens in the days after you die?

It will be horrible for your loved ones.

I just learned about something you can do to make that easier for them:

The Green Box Exercise.
