“I’d rather be dead than live like this.” When her “do not resuscitate” order was ignored, Marie Cooper found herself in a painful situation she had hoped to avoid. She now needs round-the-clock care, and is unable to bathe, dress or cook for herself. nyti.ms/3Mhxojs

Excellent piece by @KateRaphael_ on some of the challenges & misconceptions associated with DNR & DNI orders. Extra kudos for quoting my former program director @DHPalliative, the brilliant Dr. Max Vergo. Well worth a read. #Bioethics #PalliativeCare

...She tried to pull at the tubes and IV lines protruding from her body. She motioned to her daughter and the doctors that she desperately wanted her breathing tube removed. “They had me tied down,” Ms. Cooper said. “I was scared to death.” @KateRaphael_ nytimes.com/2024/08/26/well/…

The @NYTimes has long had a reputation as a leader in the world of media, but the example they are setting for coverage of transgender people is downright shameful. 🧵(1/15)

It shouldn't matter what age you are. No one needs an AR-15 or any other assault weapon designed to massacre people. When we had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004, mass shootings went down 43%. After it expired, mass shootings tripled. End the filibuster. Ban assault weapons.
