A6: Can we have child life & music therapy for adults please! There is power in doing crafts with your hands when in a hospital bed that is if your hands are not full of PIVs #ShortBowelSyndrome

A6: Hospital staff should keep in mind that patients often know own needs extremely well. Engaging in active listening and response goes a long way. #ShortBowelSyndrome

A6: Patients and staff should also keep in mind that the psychological wellbeing and psychosocial challenges during hospital stays may vary not only during the course of admission, but from one admission to the next.#ShortBowelSyndrome

A6: Regularly assess wellbeing & offer solutions. Sometimes we want a visit from Childlife or to step outside for a few minutes, but don’t know how to ask. If you (clinicians) would want it for yourself, we patients and caregivers probably do, too. #shortbowelsyndrome

We must save hospice. statnews.com/2022/12/14/hos… Recent article by Ava Kofman has sparked heated discussion w/in hospice & palliative care. Much of it defensive. My MD colleagues seem the exception. General sense among HPC docs is: Enough! Time for clinicians to take back our field.
