#ACC25 bringing #humanity back to #medicine. Standing room only for Grief & Patient Loss & The Lived Patient Experience.

Shared humanity & vulnerability is so desperately needed. Let us realize we’re more similar than we are different.

14 yrs ago I cared for a pt shocked 28x by her ICD. Aphasic from a recent CVA, no one knew. I made it my mission to ensure ICDs are aligned w/ pts’ #goalsofcare. Proud to share some of our work.
