Grateful for all the incredible caring brilliant folks teaching, advocating, and providing healthcare out there in 2025. Especially thankful for my #HaPC and #meded communities! Happy 2026!
Reflecting on my stint on the inpatient #palliative service this week. Crazy busy. Thankful for my colleague for helping out so we could give patients/families the time and provide high quality care.
This and every winter solstice I remember a certain special clinic patient long gone.
