As doctors and nurses, it is our moral duty to care for every person who walks through the door & needs medical help. Allowing ICE to raid hospitals & clinics is immoral and will lead to needless suffering & death. Reading this made me cry...what nation have we become? #medsky
Allowing ICE in hospitals is a public health catastrophe in the making
Allowing ICE to conduct raids in hospitals and medical clinics is not only cruel; it is a public health catastrophe in the making, writes Eric Reinhart.

Long Live x New Year’s Eve x The Manuscript was the perfect ending. What a gift. The end of an era.

As a palliative care doc and especially as a parent, I cannot emphasize this enough.
As a pediatric palliative care doctor, one of the most frustrating things is our society’s continued surprise that children are capable of knowing, processing, and engaging with heartbreakingly complex things.
I wish we gave them more permission to do so

This is why I take Monday off post vacation which I’m doing tomorrow. Follow along for more things my partner taught me 🙃
Probably the worst thing about getting home from vacation is having to go back to work.

Hit the limit on my #Hospice & #PalliativeCare starter pack w/ 150 people.
If you haven't checked recently, you may want to follow all (or be choosy, it's up to you).
There may be enough that I can split up the starter packs by discipline. Another day! #hapc #medsky

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

Made the move this weekend. I’ve read a decent amount, and the move was seamless. I’m already enjoying the expanded rating system.
people who use goodreads: jeff bezos owns goodreads and if you want a better alternative there is a black woman owned company called storygraph that you can use to replace it. you can transfer all of your data from goodreads to storygraph and have your mind be free of trumpie jeff bezos! win win. 💙
