1/🧵🎥 Grateful for Technology
As #ALS (Lou Gehrig) patients progress to being unable to speak, they are aided by #EyeControl technology. My pt & his wife agreed to let you watch.
Imagine his bravery
I told him I didn’t understand his suffering but that I would not leave him.

2/ For the video, I speak to her a lot just to deal w short time constraints of Twitter (2 min), but my conversations w him are direct, paced, and open.
I chose not to show the conversation about his life support decisions.
Gut-wrenching, honest, and true.
Send us strength.

There is no greater privilege in my days than to enter the lives of my patients and their families. It is unearned.
My working definition of #Mercy is the willingness to dive into their chaos & offer lifting and healing.
This is my vocation.
What is yours?
