For those with #seriousillness, sleep problems and #insomnia are all too common. Instead of jumping to melatonin or ambien, we talk with two sleep experts, Cathy Alessi and @SleepinBeautyMD, about a better approach.

for the most compassionate care from extremely empathetic interns along with their vigilant supervising attendings. Hope you like open ended questions and doctors listening to you bc you’re gonna drown in it.

Thought provoking article by @IraByock about the commercialization of hospice in US. 👏🏻 Change means bravely facing reality and truth. Response to the ProPublica piece. Hospice care needs saving statnews.com/2022/12/14/hosp… via @statnews
Amen! The palliative care community has been so amazing on here and I’ll miss that for sure if this place vanishes! That, and the intermittent heckling to and from my brother… @kevalbert

Reboot the way you and your organization talk to the public about care for serious illness.
Based on a decade of research into what the public really thinks.
Hint: Advance care planning ≠ Palliative care ≠ Hospice

how did this myth arise? how long will it take to truly dissuade people from believing it? a short 🧵...

Filling out a POLST without discussing goals first be like (h/t @SDietzMD for Part A):
SO HE SAID THEY WANT TO GO PALLIATIVE AND I SAID THAT’S NOT REALLY A THING BUT HE SAID BUT THEY WANT TO BE COMFORTABLE SO I ASKED DID YOU ALSO TALK ABOUT CODE STATUS AND HE SAID NO THAT’S WHY I CONSULTED YOU
I’m preparing for a #hapc talk at a transplant symposium. I’m familiar w the studies in Stem Cell transplant but i’m wondering how many of you are engaged in solid organ transplant evaluations/consults/etc. Any upstream palliative care happening in transplant at your institution?
