- Reposted by Jared Rubenstein, MDA Christmas present from @drjrubenstein.bsky.social & Dr Tammy Pegg. If we talk clearly about the end of life, we put those frantic & unlived moments of unhelpful #CPR into context so their futility is clear. CPR is fantastic first aid in a crisis. Ordinary dying isn't a crisis. Talk about it.
- 🔥 New video release “Can We Talk About CPR?” These talks deserve time, care, and personalization. Grateful to cardiologist Tammy Pegg for sharing her wisdom and experience for this one. And grateful to my friend @drkathrynmannix.bsky.social for connecting us youtu.be/yTCRfY3ETvI?...

- Reposted by Jared Rubenstein, MD“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

- As a palliative care doctor, the painting “The Doctor” by Luke Fildes always seemed in complete to me. So I used AI to reimagine it with the full palliative care team on board. Serious illness is lonely. No family should go through it without a team.
