Today I am going to do something I have never done before: I am going to shave my dying dad in hospice. Always clean-shaven, in his semi-conscious state, he's rubbing his whiskers. #hospice

I realize I haven't been on here in awhile. I wanted to update everyone. On his wishes due to his dialysis problems, my #Father was transported to #Hospice yesterday while he was still alert & communicative. Today, the news is bleak & sad. His nurses said that he is closer to passing. :-(

Dr. Cicely Saunders (b. #OTD in 1918): founded the modern hospice movement & established the global medical discipline of palliative care. Frustrated by the mid-20th-C medical mindset viewing dying patients as "failures" to be ignored, she revolutionized end-of-life care. #WomenInSTEM #hospice
A charming black-and-white portrait of Dame Cicely Mary Strode Saunders (1918–2005), the pioneering British nurse, social worker, and physician who revolutionized modern end-of-life care by founding the global hospice and palliative care movement. Left: she sits in a library or office setting with softly blurred bookshelves lining the background. She poses with her head resting gently against her right hand, wearing a dark ring on her finger. Her face is framed by softly coiffed white hair and large, round eyeglasses, and she looks directly forward with a warm, comforting, and deeply compassionate smile. She wears a dark tailored blazer over a crisp, light-colored collared shirt, detailed with a small decorative pin on her left lapel. Overlaying the lower right quadrant of the image is a stark white rectangular box containing her most historically significant quote, capturing the gentle and dignified mood of her life's work. The text reads, "you matter because you are you, and you matter to the end of your life," with the opening words styled in a large, elegant serif font. Below the quote, the text attributes the words to "- Dame Cicely Saunders, Hospice Movement Founder." The overall composition balances a professional, academic atmosphere with profound personal warmth.

I don’t have a photo, but I have a story of a day where I was in the ED frantically having a 5 minute goals of care conversation with a COVID+ wife to convert her husband next door who was about to #codeblue any minute and had no chance of long term survival to #hospice to triage #ventilators.

All due respect, if you didn’t look like this in the spring of 2020, I don’t really care about your opinion of Dr Fauci

The busyness of the last three weeks since my mom died has dissipated, and all I'm left with is time on my hands to think (and cry,) so I signed up for a 10-week online study course to walk me through my grief. I'm hoping it will help me process my emotions in a healthy way. #grief #hospice

Please listen, @wesstreeting.bsky.social Our hospices have wonderful teams of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals who are doing their best to provide good quality care, but they desperately need more funding. Palliative care should not be an optional extra. #hospice #palliativecare

Thanks @lbc.co.uk for having me on to discuss AD. Both Keir Starmer & Wes Streeting know full well how grossly underfunded UK palliative care is - & they have the power to change that. But will they? Or will they turn their backs on dying people? www.lbc.co.uk/news/palliat...
