3/ For feedback to be well-received, there needs to be a culture of trust and respect between you and your learner(s).

Seriously, this is THE most important part.

1/šŸ§µ Are you happy?

My brother w #DownSyndrome is teaching me tons of life lessons.

In medicine & in life, I make big decisions based on guesstimates of otherā€™s Quality of Life #QOL.

I often GET IT WRONG!

What do adults w #disability teach me about TRUTH?

There was a time once, when every day brought with it a glorious purpose.

When there was a genuine sense of fulfillment.

When grief was a transient thing, not lingering to carve out hollow people.

When hearts could heal, and learn to let go. 1/
My eyes open before my alarm goes off. Old habit.

Except thereā€™s no alarm set today. Iā€™ve taken some time off work- a whole two weeks.

Itā€™s the most time Iā€™ve taken off in over a decade.

Iā€™m not sure what to do with myself.

Iā€™m exhausted, but sleep wonā€™t help. 2/
My parents are going to be visiting from Houston.

I will myself out of bed and make the decision to get some groceries, so my fridge isnā€™t pathetically bare.

In the shower, I turn the water as hot as I can bear.

Trying to purge the lingering tension in my muscles. 3/

There is so much more to her than what is on the surface. She epitomizes don't judge a book by its cover.
Funny I reacted to her initial entrance in that way as I have often been told I am too bubbly/ enthusiastic to be taken seriously or seen as a professional. Goes to show you how these unconscious stereotypes can influence all of us, even when we have been on the receiving end.

Whatā€™s the best way to talk to them about their vaccination status?
