If difficult, upsetting, painful situations could be made easier by words alone then life would be a lot easier. Try and be kind and thoughtful in the words you use, of course. But words alone can’t heal. You can’t fix this. So be there alongside us as we try to endure. #cansky

I would like to see more nuanced representations of cancer in popular culture. The rules of the Gullen Test are: 1. The person with cancer talks about something that is not cancer 2. The person with cancer does not die of cancer #cansky #graphicmedicine 1/8

At what phase in my medical career will I stop hiding from the joint commission? Because it’s not 2 years into being an attending. Yes, I got called out for hiding. #medsky #medtwitter

Giving myself a break by muting certain words/ names for 24 hours. Already feels like a relief. A little bit of #selfcare for this Sunday.

I don't know how our safety-net hospitals are going to survive with cuts to Medicaid, their primary revenue stream. So many patients will suffer. #medsky

Also ... it's not always a lump! Look for changes in your breast! Mammograms aren't perfect & often miss #breastcancer in #densebreasts. Also, #lobularBC - which is about 15% of all #breastcancers - does not make lumps & is easily missed on mamms. #KnowYourDensity #KnowYourCancers #CanSky #MedSky

I know there’s a lot going rn (politics, uncertainty, confusion), and I want to give a quiet thank you to Child Life Specialists who help kids navigate hospital environments. The hospital can be a scary place whether a patient or visitor. #chaplain #childlife #pediatrics

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

More rage fuel today: learned my group can't move on a meeting w NCI to discuss a new trial for #lobular breast cancer; per NCI staff "we are not allowed to discuss new projects under the current executive orders." #lobmob, if you haven't contacted your reps, now's a good time. #cansky #oncosky

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Night shift, called to ICU to support fearful, panicked family of very ill patient. They did NOT want to see me. I get it, y’all, I get it. Focus on your loved one. I’ll be around if/ when you want to talk and process and share stories. Here all night. #chaplain #medsky

Intriguing. I’m curious how something like this would impact spiritual care conversations w/ patients & surrogates. We certainly do talk about code status. Might make some communications more clear.

I learned from our chaplain this week that their service staffed the hospital 24/7, and when on call, they were required to show up to every Code Blue within 30 minutes to support families, no matter what time it was. I am so impressed. #AngelsOnEarth #medsky

I’ve broadly come to terms with how cancer treatment has permanently changed my body. But I’m very aware of being on a different life track, in many ways. For example: I feel weirdly alienated from menopause discourse because I had chemo-induced menopause aged 37. #cansky #graphicmedicine
