- A 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?...

- Thanks so much for sharing Clare! Alwayw honored to hear when these are shown in the wild
- 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.
- 🙏🏼 So honored to be invited to present the opening talk of the wonderful ALPM conference by Canadian Society of Palliative Medicine ✨Got a chance to talk about one of my favorite topics: how we talk with others inside and outside healthcare about the wonderful field palliative care
- Superb #ALPM2025 by @drjrubenstein.bsky.social about "PR" in #palliativecare TAKE AWAY: Palliative care doesn't need to change what we're called or what we do; we should help our non-pall peers understand our awesomeness Watch his Fire Department & other vids: www.jaredrubensteinmd.com/videos

- 🔥 New video: “A Lovely Family” ❓How does the way we talk about patients and families in healthcare create bias in how we think about them? ❓Does it matter whether it is positive or negative bias? @gtarora.bsky.social youtu.be/ku9YKSB21T0?...

- Great thoughtful piece by Abby Rosenberg et al jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
- I hope writing this doesn’t get me deported. Published in The Lancet yesterday: “As physicians and researchers who have a responsibility to speak up about inequitable policies that detrimentally affect patients, colleagues, and students, we cannot remain silent in this crucial moment.” Highlights…
- Excellent work as usual @arghavansallesmd.medsky.social

- Oof yeah good point
- [Not loaded yet]
- Yup. The “you must be such a good person” is the one I struggle with the most because: 1) I’m fine at best 2) If caring for sick and dying children was such a priority in our society I wish we’d make policy that acted like it
