I have the BEST job in the world. I have these sacred moments with patients at the end of their life that remind me how beautiful humanity is.

To me this isn’t just a job or career. This is a dream, to be able to care for patients the way my own lost loved ones should have been cared for. This is a privilege, to be able to build the kind of trust that allows us to be present in a human life’s final moments. This is humanity, to be able to feel all the tough emotions without being afraid.

Thank you Official Scrubs for showing palliative care in action on TV and being my favorite medical show 🤍

🧠 Brain health supplements 🧠 Social media rewards what’s shocking, shiny, and sensational.
It doesn’t check if it’s true. It doesn’t check if it’s relevant. It doesn’t check if it applies to you.

Meanwhile, just because things that protect our brain have been around awhile, doesn’t make it less powerful.

So when you see an “insider tip” for brain health, ask who’s sharing it, what’s their expertise and why are they sharing it? For clicks or sales?

Note: Medicine and research is constantly evolving. That’s the point!

Ageism is dangerous.

It’s invisible. We don’t talk about it. And we inflict it on ourselves.

“I’m too old for that.”
“Senior moment!”

We call them jokes. But people with more positive beliefs about aging live about 7.5 years longer (Levy et al., 2002).

Grief showed me what ageism costs. That’s why I became a geriatrician.

What’s an aging “joke” you’ve caught yourself saying? 👇
