Medicine can be tough. You can do everything right and death still wins. But this is not a weakness — this is life.

I hope every learner that works with me learns this lesson. Death comes for everyone, eventually. #thisislife #medicine #death #loss

Sometimes there is nothing we can do to stop it. These are the times to just be with your patients. #thisislife #medicine #death #loss

When facing inevitable death, it is ok to take a moment to be human and walk patient and family thru it. #thisislife #medicine #death #loss

For those that think we should not equate death with failure/loss, well that’s a whole different topic. #thisislife #medicine #death #loss

If palliative care/end of life training came earlier in medical training, transitions would be smoother. #thisislife #medicine #death #loss

But until it becomes more rigorous and formalized, those at the bedside must teach and model it. #thisislife #medicine #death #loss

If you don’t care about your constituents’ health, maybe you care about how much federal money #GrahamCasiddy will lose your state.

It’s time to stop playing games with American lives. Let’s start actual bipartisan work to fix healthcare. #GrahamCassidy

Just saw the BTS with Alicia Vikander training for upcoming Tomb Raider. Puts me to shame. Now I feel like I need to go work out.

Well this should be interesting…
