Re-posting last year’s LA Times comic on challenges with for-profit hospice for anyone who got stuck behind a paywall the first time around… inkvessel.com/2024/04/11/pat… . There are awesome people working in all types of hospices, but for-profit structure feels perilous.
That’s OK. Gulls just wanna have pun.
“I was the first person to know that my father was dying.” Dying Well was published 25 years ago this spring. It seemed fitting to begin with my Dad’s, story which, of course, is also my own. (1/5)
What a lineup!
Meeting up with social media influencers @DrJRubenstein and @PalliDad at @AAHPM’s #sotc in phoenix AZ. @WaitingRoomRev conspiring about a palliative care revolution. missing @SammyWinemaker!

This quote comes from my “Hard Choices” book in the section on the use of artificial feeding tubes. I have literally heard people say, “I will be starving my mother to death if we don’t put in the tube.” I say, "You are allowing a natural death to occur.”

OK, everyone - this happens today, 3-4pm. What do you want to know about dying, palliative care, talking about our mortality? Tweet your questions to @bbc5live or reply below. I'll do my best to answer what I can. #HotSeat #OrdinaryDying
Dr Kathryn Mannix is a world-renowned palliative care expert and thinks we need to talk more about death. She will be in the hot seat with @ColinMurray from 3pm to share her knowledge about dying. 🗣️ What would YOU like to ask her?
@acderinger @ChadDKollas @AAHPM Just saw this… I eyeball it and then pace out the spacing. I do it by hand with lots of love and the intention to create the space people need. I look for patterns online and in labyrinth books, and it just depends on what feels right that year.
So 🙏🏼 to be on @GlobalTV @morningshowca with @SammyWinemaker to talk about our book #HopefortheBest. Hosts @carolynglobal and Jeff are the best! @WaitingRoomRev @PageTwoBooks
