Doctors keeping people on artificial life support and pushing treatments that are unwanted on terminally ill patients despite advance directives and POLSTs. What year is this again? nytimes.com/2021/01/22/healt…

The mood in the room was festive in a way I’ve not seen in a long time. The light at the end of the tunnel is growing! #CovidVaccine #hapc #notthrowingawaymyshot

I get it: you're on lockdown. You're trying to do a lot with a little. It's hard to find joy in the midst of fear, depression, and austerity. That's why it's time to learn about totwaffles. (thread)

THIS PICTURE SAYS IT ALL. Proud to be at the front-lines with my incredible colleagues. While we are all a little scared + worried about how #COVIDー19 will affect our patients, our families and us. We stand ready to fight this and win this together. Cartoon via @mluckovichajc

It’s the perfect time to utilize the skills we leverage daily in palliative care. For every interaction w/ colleagues/loved ones, there’s an opportunity to: Acknowledge / validate emotions Shine a light on fears Align with hopes Wish for the best + prepare for the worst

In case anyone was still on the fence about canceling conferences or other events -- 70 of Massachusetts' 92 #COVID19 cases are linked to one conference. Let's up the urgency on #SocialDistancing and #FlattenTheCurve!
