Does anyone else who works in a #hospital suffer from fry envy?

I unsuspectingly walk into an elevator and I'm hit with the overwhelming smell of french fries before I see a kid
with a McDonald's bag.

I can't concentrate the rest of the day until I get some of my own.

Aunt, speaking to a palliative doctor, fellow, and social worker: "I know you're doctors, but you're like psychologists too!"

This is what #transdisciplinary care looks like and I love it ๐Ÿ’–

I wish we could erase "in denial" from the vocabulary we use to describe families.

Maybe they wish things were different. Maybe they hope for a miracle. Maybe they accept what is to come but aren't ready to talk about it. Probably all of these.
