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.
