I still really love Gritty, I love that when he was unveiled, Philadelphia was like, "What the fuck", the world replied, "Yeah, what the fuck" and then Philadelphia said, "Hey, don't you talk that way about our Gritty"

With the Eagles obliterating the Chiefs, now is a good time to remind everyone that the last time the Eagles won the Super Bowl they refused to go to the White House because of Donald.

This is such an important slide; & based on where we practice not all of our populations, “most in need” will be the same. So taking time to define this is incredibly important. #hapc25 @ctsinclair.bsky.social we need to base our outpatient practices on who we need to see versus who we want to see
Dr @ericgoodlev.bsky.social describes setting appropriate #metrics for outpatient #hpm including both the process of clinic care, the outcomes for patients and adjusting for the high risk populations we serve. #pallonc #supponc #hapc25

Attending a talk on “Addressing Spiritual Care Needs in Outpatient Palliative Care”

Love the idea one presenter added - PC clinicians are spiritual care generalists and chaplains are spiritual care specialists.

TeleHealth works!

A personal plug for great patient care everywhere: Please tell your federal representatives to keep it going. The laws keeping it accessible expire at the end of March.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Some of the data that was purged yesterday is back, but not all of it.

Still, the idea that this government can decide what data we see when it wants to based on a very narrow view of things should disturb us.

Massive censorship escalation at CDC. Trump Administration now choosing the public health data you can see.
