New video: “Hope” Hope isn’t denial. Someone can understand the gravity of an illness and the likelihood of a bad outcome. And they can still hope for everything they want. Wonderful to partner with Kimberly Novod on this one.

Totally agree! It’s a set up. @drjrubenstein.bsky.social and I made a video about this a few years ago. In Shock really should be mandatory reading for all who work in healthcare

A physician asked why patients hate us, and I really don’t think it’s a mystery. Spend any time online listening to patients, and it’s clear they aren’t getting the help they seek. Part of that is the fault of health systems that push us into burnout. But part of that is on us.

A Christmas present from @drjrubenstein.bsky.social & Dr Tammy Pegg. If we talk clearly about the end of life, we put those frantic & unlived moments of unhelpful #CPR into context so their futility is clear. CPR is fantastic first aid in a crisis. Ordinary dying isn't a crisis. Talk about it.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

As a palliative care doctor, the painting “The Doctor” by Luke Fildes always seemed in complete to me. So I used AI to reimagine it with the full palliative care team on board. Serious illness is lonely. No family should go through it without a team.

To remove vaccines from ACIP guidelines, which seems to be the end goal here, is effectively a ban. If a vaccine is not recommended, Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance can refuse to cover it. Few people can afford to pay for the cost out of pocket. RFK Jr's end game is to ban vaccines!!!
