(i.e., The phrase that results in almost a reflex cringe šŸ˜³...)

We all want feedback,
but we dread it at the same time.

How can we deliver better feedback?

Check out this week's thread for some tips! Image

3/ For feedback to be well-received, there needs to be a culture of trust and respect between you and your learner(s).

Seriously, this is THE most important part.

1/šŸ§µ Are you happy?

My brother w #DownSyndrome is teaching me tons of life lessons.

In medicine & in life, I make big decisions based on guesstimates of otherā€™s Quality of Life #QOL.

I often GET IT WRONG!

What do adults w #disability teach me about TRUTH?

Can I learn? Image
2/šŸŽ„ How do we ā€œcalculateā€ someoneā€™s #QOL?

#Confession: I get it all wrong when I impose MY judgment onto THEIR life.

Greg, my 57 y/o brother-in-law with Down Syndrome, has a better QOL than I do.

3/ My working definition of QOL is ā€œthe ability to give & receive love.ā€

REREAD THATšŸ‘†

Greg understands the Law of the Gift: Treasures GROW when we give them away.

Itā€™s the opposite of hoarding.

Yet, giving ourselves to others can be SCARY. Greg ponders deeply these emotions. Image

There was a time once, when every day brought with it a glorious purpose.

When there was a genuine sense of fulfillment.

When grief was a transient thing, not lingering to carve out hollow people.

When hearts could heal, and learn to let go. 1/
My eyes open before my alarm goes off. Old habit.

Except thereā€™s no alarm set today. Iā€™ve taken some time off work- a whole two weeks.

Itā€™s the most time Iā€™ve taken off in over a decade.

Iā€™m not sure what to do with myself.

Iā€™m exhausted, but sleep wonā€™t help. 2/
My parents are going to be visiting from Houston.

I will myself out of bed and make the decision to get some groceries, so my fridge isnā€™t pathetically bare.

In the shower, I turn the water as hot as I can bear.

Trying to purge the lingering tension in my muscles. 3/

It's been over a week since @TedLasso Episode 6 for which I was asked to be a guest on the amazing #MedLasso podcast with @ETSshow and @TheRealDoctorT. While we covered quite a bit, there was SO much we couldn't get to. Sharing a brief šŸ§µ here.

I mentioned at the beginning that I had major #ImplicitBias when we first met @TheKeeleyJones. Since then, she has become one of my FAVORITE characters, for many reasons.
There is so much more to her than what is on the surface. She epitomizes don't judge a book by its cover.
Funny I reacted to her initial entrance in that way as I have often been told I am too bubbly/ enthusiastic to be taken seriously or seen as a professional. Goes to show you how these unconscious stereotypes can influence all of us, even when we have been on the receiving end.

They are unvaccinated.

Whatā€™s the best way to talk to them about their vaccination status?

1/
In most patients with intact immune systems, vaccinations against SARS-CoV-2 work to reduce incidence and severity of COVID-19.

However, to date, approximately 40% of eligible Americans are unvaccinated.

As the delta variant spreads, and hospitals fill, these morally challenging encounters are on the rise.

And we are tired.
