Heard of Capgras Syndrome? Our family is losing hope as we seek better answers on behalf of a parent recently diagnosed. Searching for clinicians researching or conducting trials. Seeking insights on the latest treatment or interventions available. #medsky #dementia #neurology #capgras

Just had three amazing days in LA at several palliative symposiums including End Well 2024. While death may not sound “amazing,” I learned so much that will help me support grieving families in my work, not to mention the Going with Grace workshop with death dula Alua Arthur. #palliativecare

When Obama nominated Tom Daschle -- a congressional leader with three decades of experience working on federal health care policies -- to be HHS secretary, the senator had to withdraw because a donor provided him with a car.

If only he'd beheaded a whale!

There are so many interesting people and profiles to follow; I almost feel like I’m losing control with my follow button. That was never an issue over on X(hausting).

I had the privilege of attending the Totally Trauma Conference last month. It was great to interface with caregivers on the frontlines, in the regional trauma centers, EDs and ICUs. Our theme was “When you’ve done all you can do, help us do all we can do.” #donatelife #familycare #savinglives
