Not at all the same - I wish we were all in Denver together. But considering the circumstances, the Academy is doing an outstanding job. Great first day. #hapc21

The tl:dr - they don’t work. I still can’t get pain ‘specialists’ and oncologists to stop writing for them, though. Especially the ones with ketamine in them. #HPm19

Amen.
We. Are. Not. Withdrawing. Care. Really. Repeat it with me. Taking a patient off of invasive life support is not withdrawing care. It's just changing how we're caring. #hpm #pedpc

If @AAHPM Annual Assembly were nothing more than a @mlmcpherson show, I would still attend. #hpm19

I don’t know about you, but I hate that MCV misspelled their twitter handle as @VCUHealth
Replying to @docanvil @VCUHealth
Aw, thanks big buddy! I love that we both ended up in #HPM. You always were a good influence! #HPM19
Any picture of you is welcome, Liz! You’re a tremendous role model and mentor. Hard to believe you were ever a ‘little buddy’ at @VCUHealth #hpm19

It's pretty easy to not be political and say the following: 1. The white supremacist, anti-Muslim hate that attacked two Mosques in New Zealand is evil and must be universally condemned. 2. All hate is bad and must always be condemned. We pray for our Muslim brothers & sisters.

The Service of Remembrance was the perfect way to start the days. The birds were really into the communal singing. #hpm19 #TheRealTweetPros

I’ve certainly done my part, @gangstagrass @renchaudio

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Or free school. Or free healthcare. If you are not paying the cost, someone else is.

You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life. Your phone is not the boss of you. #hpm19
Yikes. It’s not even 930. #hpm19

Somehow, it seems that no less than 10% of my tweets tend to be about coffee.

Way back when I was an impressionable not-young medical student, I was fortunate enough to cross paths with @tsmit136 at @VCUHealth (which I still consider to me MCV). Without his wise guidance, I’m not sure I would be in this field. I certainly wouldn’t want the doc I am. #hpm19

So I tried the sample cup of coffee and I like it. Where can I get an adult sized cup? Or better yet, a doctor sized cup? #hpm19

I drink (coffee) and I learn things. It’s what I do @ #hpm19. I missed y’all.
When your loved one is dying of cancer and says in the CVICU on pressors, that his goal is to see the Mouse- you and your family make it happen. THIS is the face of Hospice and Palliative Care folks. #hpm19 #palliativecare
