When a patient is angry or frustrated, it's rarely about us. It's a mask for something more: Deep sadness, overwhelming stress, frustrations or delays in care, feeling overlooked or lost within the system, helplessness, isolation, or fear. It’s not about us. 3.2K views · 83 likes · 4 reposts · 8 replies Open on X →

@doclauravater I can’t wait for the day when comments like this are seen as patronizing and not worthy of a medal. Residency is modern day slave labor but genuinely thank you for your kindness….

@doclauravater Best part of being a resident or fellow is wondering if this is a test and working the rest of the day anyway to show ur a “team player” and that you “take initiative” 💀 1.5K views · 19 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Best part of being an attending on service is giving the resident and fellow the half day off after rounds when you go to clinic. I tell them: “Go sleep. Or exercise. Or play with your kids. Take some time to just be a human.” 29.5K views · 329 likes · 10 reposts · 12 replies Open on X →

@doclauravater This is an example of the art of medicine practiced with the patient’s integrity & autonomy respected. Not too long ago, we all experienced people having to make decisions that had repercussions on their livelihood if they had concerns or didn’t comply.

Non-abandonment (in ethics) basically means we do our best to have a caring commitment to patients, even if the path forward is unclear or different than what we recommended. It means we continue to try to help, even if we disagree or don’t understand. 24K views · 1.1K likes · 50 reposts · 44 replies Open on X →

I'm an odd oncologist, maybe. When my patients opt for no chemo, I keep seeing them if they wish. I help w/ symptoms, follow scans over time, & help interpret data about alternatives. A doctor is a guide. We should continue to guide, even if a person opts for a different path. 607K views · 23.4K likes · 1.6K reposts · 996 replies Open on X →
