The “existential slap” - concrete awareness of closeness of death - is different from pondering in the abstract about dying… suddenly jolting grief, search for meaning, and often surprising feelings that a person didn’t expect when death was an idea. (1/5) #hapc #graphicmedicine
A few weeks ago, our awesome #hapc social worker Michelle McWhirter brought a patient a hot dog he’d been craving during a dark moment in his hospital stay. It was far more effective than any pill that day. Asking, are frankfurters within usual #socialwork scope of practice? :)

Will greatly miss my @DukePallCare crew and all the #dukefamily in @dukemedicine that have nurtured, taught, tolerated, and inspired me during these last 8.5 years. This place, along with @UTSWInternalMed (where my doctor life began), will always feel like home.
