This week JNVH highlights two more Jonas #Nurse Scholars from our 2021-2023 cohort Helena Addison PhD, RN Penn Nursing UF Nursing

How about we dive into some empirical evidence on Black male mental health. A little 🧵 if you will:

Perkins, K., Kelly, P., & Lasiter, S. (2014). “Our Depression is Different”: Experiences and Perceptions of Depression in Young Black Men with a History of Incarceration. Archives of Psychiatric Nursing, 28(3), 167–173. doi.org/10.1016/j.apnu… Suicide, anger, depress., care

@Highmark is denying my dad lifesaving care. He has stage IV esophageal cancer with liver mets. His case is unique & difficult—a team of oncologists from Penn Medicine, Lehigh Valley Health Network, & Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center decided the best tx for his liver lesions is radioembolism. Dr. Glaucomflecken 1/

They have been denying this tx FOR TWO MONTHS. Scans now show that his liver lesions are growing while @Highmark argues with the EXPERTS caring for him. This cancer is aggressive & fast. @Highmark’s greed will be fatal if he cannot receive tx soon. Dr. Glaucomflecken 2/
