Next talk at #hapc21! Controlling the dyspnea-anxiety cycle. Remember that dyspnea is very common. Not just in COPD but in other diagnoses, and not just in hospice patients but in the ICU and other settings as well. #hapc21

Diving into a difficult topic at #hapc21. Dr. Horowitz is starting with his mother, who had dementia and was considering voluntarily stopping eating and drinking (VSED). Key points about the key clinical considerations around VSED: note that life should be unacceptable and IRREVERSIBLY difficult. This can't be an impulsive decision. #hapc21.

You don't have to be a SEXpert to validate your patients' feelings around their sexuality!

1st take home point from #hapc21's session on "Setting SEXpectations with Patients and Families." @SexANDDeathPos @PalCareErin @CaitlynMooreNP @PCMagicMo Remember: sex is more than intercourse. #hapc21 Image
