👏👏👏 JAMA Network Irene J Higginson @morrisonrsean @joanmteno @irabyock “Our job is not just to treat disease and keep people alive longer,” Byock said. “Our job is to take the best care possible of people through the end of life, not just at the end of life.” #hapc MedHumChat

I couldn’t agree more. We have much support to offer at the end of life. We aren’t “withdrawing” anything.

We need a national telemedicine license at least to take care of patients with cancer. Implementation of telemedicine overnight (yes it was literally overnight) was one of the silver linings of the pandemic. We should make telemedicine permanent.

We spring clean, we sort out our finances, but do we ever think about planning for the end of life? Planning ahead is important for us all, not just people who are dying. Check out our website for help & support to get started loom.ly/x4Ze1EA #MondayMotivation

My son informed me, after a particularly exciting day that he was “running low on woohoo. Spent it all yesterday.” We need woohoo charging stations.

I'll be promoting this daily until we get together to discuss #ageism and how it affects older adults interacting with the health care system. All are welcome to attend.

Attending an amazing online conference about the use of psychedelics at the end of life. Imagine if we could alleviate that anxiety? #TheEndinMind produced by End Well is addressing this topic beautifully!

3 weeks before my son’s 12th birthday and of course, he gets COVID. Thank goodness it seems to be a relatively mild case.

Because my son has COVID, he has to stay in for Halloween. Any suggestions on how to make up for it? #hewantstoeatcandyallthetime

Today was a beautiful day to turn 29 for the 20th time.

Staycation baking. I’m slowly making my way back to Twitter…

What say you?
