We have to acknowledge its craziness that, in the US, a patient at EOL (who cannot be taken care of at home) has to pay $400-500/day (not /week or month, /day!) for room/board to receive hospice care in a nursing facility, only because they don't have Medicaid.

When the page says “GOC please”… Pagers and electronic messages are great for notifying about consults, but for consults about discussions of medical preferences in serious illness, a phone call can be priceless. #hapc #palliativecare #graphicmedicine

What does it mean to "accept" death? We often expect this of our loved ones and patients, and I explore the reasons why in my latest essay for the New York Times, out today! nytimes.com/2023/03/29/opi… UMass Chan Medical School Department of Medicine

One of my favorite things in the world is when two different passions collide serendipitously. Really excited to chat about the intersection of grief and video games tomorrow. Hope to see you there! #hapc twitch.tv/safeinourworld

It was such a joy to explore the deep and unique personal meanings we each create in the video game experience with these wonderful people. If that statement piques your interest I highly recommend checking out our discussion in this link! Thanks to Safe In Our World for hosting!

7 years ago, a medical society told me their conference was not intended for a patient audience. Last fall I was an invited presenter. This is proof that medical culture can change & it works best when patients, care partners, clinicians, and researchers are working together.🤘

📢 You don’t need a lawyer to appoint a Health Care Proxy! Use a free #AdvanceCarePlanning tool like Rebecca Sudore to start a conversation, then tell your doctor. Why not start today? #NationalHealthcareDecisionsDay #NHDD #hapc

It's #NationalHealthcareDecisionsDay! Today, my husband & I dialed in Proxy Access settings for all 5 of our MyChart accounts. At 4 sites we had to create new user accounts just to add each other as proxy. We spent 1.5 hrs on this project but it was worth it. #NHDD #hapc

I never get over how much I love reading old progress notes. One year ago: my palliative care doc noted how our cat, Mark, is a support to my husband. In an open note, I feel seen. #btsm #hapc #opennotes
