Academic decision algorithm v 7.0- a testament to #SocialMedia peer review, as all versions past 1.0 were improved upon by feedback from colleagues on @twitter. This edition improved by @JRandallCurtis1. There is a descriptive publication here somewhere... #MedEd #MedTwitter

Most patients don't realize their doctors and nurses think about them in the spaces between visits. While walking to the parking lot, driving home, brushing teeth… even before falling asleep. Our work is a part of us, and we really care about you. That's all.

This opportunity was a gift! Dr. Vandervall's colleagues described her by saying, "she made you want to be a better person, while also fully accepting you just as you were." What a special person & doctor; I wish I could have met her. TY for having me🩷 tinyurl.com/2mz8t64k
Thank you Dr. Lucy Kalanithi (@rocketgirlmd) for joining us for the joint @CleClinicMD Cancer Center Grand Rounds and Dr Korinn Vandervall Memorial Lecture: “Healing in a Hurting World”

If you’re a med student or resident and gave support to someone in a difficult moment today, this day was a success, no matter what else happened. Hold on to these words on the days you feel inefficient or undervalued. Your presence matters more than you know.

Four years ago today, I walked into the apocalypse. Crossing the line in the ER felt like entering a whole other world. Frenetic alarms. Patients strewn about, struggling to breathe. Too few staff. Too many deaths. Covid was everything. It had completely taken over our ER

We can be equally exhausted by our work & fulfilled by it. We can love a job that makes us weary. It doesn't mean it's the wrong work. It's a reminder we need time to restore ourselves. Like the space between wood for a fire to burn, we too need space to thrive.

How many medical schools teach future doctors the phenomenology of dying? Death is a universal human outcome. Doctors need to be able to recognise, respect & accompany dying once life-saving treatment is no longer appropriate. They can't respect what they don't know. #MedEd
Great teaching BN 2nd years about palliative and end of life care today. Fantastic questions @UofGNurse @NHSGGC @drkathrynmannix (hope you are well) used your video again. Fantastic #deathrattle discussion afterwards

If we want to know what #minority patients want from #research, we really need to ASK THEM, not the researchers! This is building trust &possibly engaging in a #cbpr approach Thank you to the researcher who said to include a minority on the study! #hapc24 #PalliativeCare #hapc

Dr @DrO_MD_ presents the sobering statistics that >3/4 of patients with sickle cell disease die in an acute care setting and this is a young patient population. >50% of patients with SCD do not have #hpm support. #hapc24

Great talk on target drug delivery for cancer related pain. Hugely underutilised considering the benefits and cost savings. #hapc24

When we absorb the story we steal a little from our patients. Their story is their own. What is happening is happening, but it is not happening to us. We can't support if we are crumbling #hapc24

Replying to @RakiaReynolds
@RakiaReynolds offering deep wisdom regarding the difference between story telling and story yelling. Define what your asking, who your asking and making it organic. Are you just story selling to profit yourself or to impart to others? #hapc24

“Our brains think in narrative” which is why our ability to be silent is so important. Outpatient care lets me hear so many amazing stories. Also remember “to observe don’t absorb”. #hapc24
