People question why I'm such a loud and proud Wolverine, when I "only" went there for grad school. This is why - because of the ways in which these teams, this school, supports the littlest victors, who hold a very special place in my heart. Go Blue! @MottChildren @UMichFootball

This is a significant milestone for the integration of Pediatric Palliative Care into the mainstream of hospice and palliative care. Just in time for Thanksgiving, the children have a seat at the grown up table!

Paul has been - and will continue to be - an inspiration, a truth teller, a light. I am tremendously lucky to have spent the brief time with him that I did.

To @sydrobinson_ - As someone who loved Scholastic book fairs AND at one point took Lexapro, I ask that you reconsider the title of your most recent @BuzzFeed piece - point can be made without seeming to trivialize psychiatric medication.

Hear me #MedTwitter. Crying when a person dies is never wrong, especially someone you cared for. It is not unprofessional. It is human and healthy. #doctorscry #grief #freethetears
