Nothing like fresh air and sky when a ptās been hospital-trapped. Iām always blown away by the way anxiety, irritability, and feelings of demoralization can melt away under the breeze and scents of the outside world. And grateful for clinicians and staff that make it happen.
Powerful editorial on corporitization of medicine.
1. Trainees are not cheap labor
2. Margin focus threatens trust.
3. Leaders need to stay in touch with clinical care

Happy #nurses week to all the amazing nurses Iāve had the honor to work with over the years. I have learned so much from the skill, compassion, and dedication of nursing colleagues who advocate, educate, guide, care, and give generously in hospital, clinic, research, & classroom.
A joy today to spend time talking palliative care, serious illness, and communication through comic art at U of Chicago for @MacLeanEthics !! Also an added bonus to get to crash IDT with @UChicagoGeriPal Palliative team!!
So grateful for the growing emphasis on patient-centered outcomes in oncology careā¦
For many of my patients HOW they will live is just as important (or even more important for some) than HOW LONG they will live.

I never correct folks when they request āno heroicsā in their medical care, because I know what they mean. But Iāve found serious illness care, even when the focus is exclusively on quality of life, to be jam-packed with heroism. #hapc#graphicmedicinelatimes.com/opinion/story/20ā¦
