@scott_matson @doctormcintosh @SahilMPandya Great share. So much to unpack here. At first wanted to attribute it to less women going into cards or pulm or cc, but does not explain it all. @KUIMchiefs @LeighEckMD @ClaireBearTris @ashelizabeth052 @AliRueschhoff @amandaj422

@skochb thankful for all the palliative Twitter people I forgot to tag too!

[Laura Thomas @lauraathomas]

Couldn’t agree more! They provide so much support for patients, families and the care team! @CarlaKeirns @ctsinclair @LindyLandzaat @Kateeshoe13

[Brené Brown @BreneBrown]

Deep gratitude for all of the folks in palliative care around the world-the social workers, nurses, docs, techs, admins, everyone. These are some of the hardest edges of love. And, so often we look away from these edges until the very moment we find ourselves standing on it. ❤️

[Leigh Eck @LeighEckMD]

Honored to work alongside an amazing group of IM resident physicians @KUHospital - they are such a source of inspiration and hope. Thank you to our team! @KUIMchiefs @KUMC_GME

Multidisciplinary learners make CTICU patients better (pulmonary critical care, anesthesiology, trauma surgery, cardiac surgery (not pictured)). And the weeks more fun!

@StijnHentzen Taking a minute to do FaceTime good night “hugs” and “kisses” got me through fellowship calls!

[IMChiefs @KUIMchiefs]

2 residents and a chief resident volunteering their time at Jaydoc Free Clinic caring for patients and teaching first and second year medical students. An amazing opportunity for all!

[Laura Thomas @lauraathomas]

Working with trainees is such a privilege!

[Leigh Eck @LeighEckMD]

👏👏👏: The best part of our work is celebrating others. @rjwerner432 @MarieBrubacher @lauraathomas @KUIMchiefs @KUMC_GME

[Laura Thomas @lauraathomas]

@ClaireBearTris Still on paper for big idea planning and organizing, then use my Outlook calendar to set aside time and meet self imposed deadlines. Any ideas @LeighEckMD ? I am not utilizing what is out there well.

[Laura Thomas @lauraathomas]

@ClaireBearTris Relationships, following amazing cases over time, helping people get the care they need, so much more. I always have learned to like my clinic the best about 2 years in (true for both residency and fellowship). It takes time to develop the love for the patients and the process.

[Laura Thomas @lauraathomas]

Way to go @ClaireBearTris ! @KUIMchiefs @LeighEckMD
