TODAY. Global community day supporting those terminated from agencies doing the hard work internationally. Organized by my friend @miguelfordc.bsky.social. Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park from 3 to 8.
And yes, I will bring my copy of #BeingMortal for @agawande.bsky.social to autograph. 😇 #fangirl
#Gawande talked about this in #BeingMortal… I think your biggest risk factor for a fall is taking 3 or more prescription drugs.

Just finished reading #BeingMortal by #AtulGawande Such a thought-provoking book for me in my 60s with elderly family. Worth a read at any age! Also listened to his @therestpolitics.bsky.social Leading interview. Good to know that there are such excellent thinkers/doctors/communicators in the world.
Random post.
One of the best books I've read in the mecial field is @agawande.bsky.social 's book "Being Mortal". It's from 2015 but still relevant.
A doctor's goal is usually to fix a problem. But what if the issue can't be fixed?

We just saw “ The Last Breath/Le Dernier Souffle,” the most recent Costa Gavras movie #FilmfestDC. Explored many of the themes of #AtulGawande #BeingMortal. Hope it gets wider U,S. distribution/attention. Conversations we all need to be having. What do you think Dr. Gawande?
Bill Murray reflects on a 2022 misconduct allegation from the set of 'Being Mortal,' describing the incident as a 'funny and stupid' mistake. He expresses regret over the fallout while maintaining his actions were lighthearted. #BillMurray #BeingMortal

Anyone else impressed with how humble @Atul_Gawande 's tone is in #BeingMortal? No surgical God complex #NephJC
T3: We can. Get on board with care early. Meet the family. Have the hard conversation. #BeingMortal #NephJC
T2: Critical to assess whether dialysis is helping the patient meet their goals - a key theme in #BeingMortal #NephJC
Such a disconnect between aging and death and modern life in the US today #beingmortal #nephjc
SNFs were not originally designed as a graceful way to age. Rather a way to open hospital beds #beingmortal #nephjc
I was struck by how SNFs came about as a solution to hospital crowding #beingmortal #nephjc
We did rotations in hospice, SNF, and inpatient geriatric during residency #beingmortal #nephjc
Have only been to nursing homes a handful of times #beingmortal #nephjc
Seen many nursing home patients in the hospital and in dialysis center #beingmortal #nephjc
Full disclosure - Fell asleep on last chapter last night. End of book care. @Atul_Gawande #beingmortal #nephjc
Read the book. I owe @Atul_Gawande a beer #beingmortal #nephjc
