MYTH: #PalliativeCare is only for specialists

FACT: Everyone – in any care setting – can help provide a palliative approach to care.

While receiving #chemotherapy to slow the growth of #ovariancancer, Kat's oncologist recognized the need for support for #pain and #anxiety.

She referred her to #palliativecare with one collective goal: to give Kat back the quality life she once enjoyed

I thoroughly enjoyed Bosch and Bosch Legacy and I’m sad to see it end. Season 3 DID NOT disappoint. It was awesome to see the introduction of the newest character into the Bosch universe, Renee Ballard. I can’t wait to watch it! We also need a a spinoff around Maddie Bosch and Reina Vasquez πŸ™πŸ½

Congratulations on making it to PGY1. You have more than enough potential mentors on here. Let me know if you have any questions about Palliative Medicine.

πŸ’―this post! I let my NP students know that no matter what specialty they pick, the Palliative Care education they receive, during their rotation, will impact their practice in the future. So many resources out there to continue to hone their skills. #palliativecare

Such an amazing concept. Thank you for doing this! I’ve had patient family members who flew out too soon and then financially were not able to fly back when their loved one was closer to death. #hapc #hospice #palliativecare

Had the pleasure of meeting Titus Welliver @ SB today. He’s a cool dude. Let him know I do home visits and the pt and I were bonding over having watched all seasons of Bosch. He hadn’t started Bosch Legacy so I encourgaged him to start. Can’t wait for season 3 in 2025. @titusw24.bsky.social #hapc

It was great information from a tech perspective, not what some have focused on by stating people are migrating over to be in a liberal echo chamber etc.

Comparing Twitter (X) vs Bluesky: why did I switch?
YouTube video by Justin Jackson Comparing Twitter (X) vs Bluesky: why did I switch?

I originally switched over from X (Twitter) to BlueSky because of the changes to the algorithm and the toxicity that formed there over the years, however, there are more great reasons to have switched and @mijustin.bsky.social sums it up very well in his YouTube post.
