Me, watching #Match2025 results for medical students come in. We love to see it!
This entire thread is golden.
Happy #FellowshipMatch Day! Excited for #HPMclassof26 & all they will bring to & learn from the field of #HPM! (you can tell I’m a millennial because I still use & love .gifs)
I am just gobsmacked at the California coast. Driving the PCH for #diastole. :)
The fact that I can’t edit a calendar event series in Teams/Outlook without re-sending and notifying all invitees is a surprising source of annoyance to me on a weekly basis. @Office365 @MicrosoftTeams
I love seeing familiar names (some from my cohort in #hpmclassof21) on recommendation letters as they cheer on the next generation for fellowship, especially #hpmclassof26. This interview season has been a blast!
my patient has been watching #Scrubs during his hospital stay, and something about that feels challenging, beautiful, & full circle.
Ah, another universal quirk of medicine that transcends hospitals, cities, & apparently states:
Ah, another universal quirk of medicine that transcends hospitals, cities, & apparently states:
Dr. Temel presents stepped PC trial, a practice changing paradigm for integration of palliative care in cancer #ASCO24 This sets the foundation for PC intensity (dose) based on need
i’m very behind on @AvatarNetflix, but the orchestral version of “Leaves from the Vine” in episode 4 I just watched? 😭
Not the automatic electronic piano playing “Oops, I Did It Again - classical version” in the cancer center lobby.
Well said @hospiceuk.
#PalliativeCare 🤝 #ArtTherapy session at our IDT this morning. “Catch & Release” exercise to help process worries & fears. #hapc
In medicine we don’t say “I love you” we say “that’s not unreasonable” and I think that’s beautiful
Proud of @guptaarjun90 who took this concept as his original idea & ignited a movement in oncology Using a Real-Time Location System, his team demonstrates even the simplest of clinic appts can take up hours of patients' time academic.oup.com/oncolo/advance…
