Took care of a lovely gentleman in his late 80s during a recent inpatient consult week on our palliative care service. He had multiple medical issues, most seriously his dysphasia and persistent aspiration. I worried that his time was short.

It is so satisfying to remove “opioid abuse” from a patient’s EHR problem list and replace it with “opioid use disorder”.

I like to think grief is the price we pay for truly loving someone. And it’s worth every penny.

In a new short film, Kim Acquaviva and her wife, Kathy Brandt, who died of cancer in 2019, document their family’s last days together through frank and frequent social-media posts. Watch here. https://t.co/Uxdv0naHnZ

What a perfect way to end 2020. Feeling grateful for our scientists, essential workers, frontline healthcare workers, and competent leaders who believe in the value of public health measures designed to keep us safe. Please join me in getting the vaccine when you can. #crushcovid

Families are photographing death at home. These photos may feel jarring on Facebook, but the practice itself has a long history. https://t.co/RfaQUz65vC

Patient: “Doc, I brought something for you...”

Me: “Oh yeah?”

[Patient reaches into jacket pocket, my excitement building...]

Patient: “I know you’ve been asking me to do this for months...”

[pulls out living will]

Me: “What a gift!”

I love outpatient #palliativecare #hapc
