As a palliative care physician, I’m nervous about the Medicare infusion of $100 million for ‘functional or lifestyle medicine’ MAHA ELEVATE could open a federal funding pipeline to interventions that can't survive contact with a plausibility filter.

Despite being assigned a #SadHands photo, I’m thrilled that @statnews.com published my OpEd.

#PalliativeCare lives where certainty goes to die.

That’s our strength.

It’s also our greatest vulnerability.

When medicine pretends there’s no mystery, people flee.

When we treat mystery as sacred knowledge, we become a sect.

That tension is reshaping serious illness care right now. 🧵

I've been present for the end-of-life care of 7 family members. Four died in hospitals. Two in nursing homes. One, my mother, at 99, died peacefully at home.

The difference was planning. Early, honest, coordinated planning.
