For those in academics wanting to diversify your committee, panel, grant: YES. DO THAT. PLEASE. But to be anti-racist, do so with purpose. Avoid falling into the trap of tokenizing your colleagues. A thread [I’ll use the term POC, but can apply to other marginalized groups] 1/

Results of the landmark CODES trial of cognitive behavioral therapy for the treatment of psychogenic seizures are now available. This is wonderful news for patients, clinicians, and researchers! 1/2 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Agree. While some surgeries are needed, opening up non-essential services and using up PPE is unfair when residents of long term care facilities are isolated, sad & acute care patients are fragile and dying without family around. Give the them PPE! #COVIDー19

T1: Why can’t we provide families with PPE so they can visit their loved ones? Surely this is as (more?) important than opening up elective surgery? #PalliCOVID #PallANZ



With my #neuropalliative colleagues for the society meeting with @NeuroHomecareMD @AMehtaMD @JessMcFarlinMD @DrTarolliNeuro @SMuehlschMD @JoriFleisher @JessBesbris . Right now listening to abstract on PEG use for persons with ALS and effect on QoL


Sad news: @UpToDate creator died from #COVID19 complications. Of all the recent useful medical inventions, UpToDate ranks highly - I use it almost every day. Sad loss for med community. statnews.com/2020/04/25/rem…


Contact tracing during #COVIDー19 & why #PhysicalDistancing makes a huge difference in limiting spread! Droplets & close contact enables viral transmission washingtonpost.com/health/2020/04…

We live in interesting times thanks to #COVIDー19. Virtual journal club to keep some semblance of normalcy, then virtual office mtg, then virtual #Neurology tele & video clinic. Takeaways once the pandemic is over: virtual services should be ramped up esp for pts in remote areas.


Excellent visual representation of #COVID19 daily mortality rate - helps with those naysayers who don't think it is such a big deal. #PhysicalDistancing public.flourish.studio/visualisation/…


The indirect consequences of #COVID-19 will be very long lasting. Already, facing difficulties for cancer biopsies, some immunosuppressive therapies delayed. And the psychological trauma for grieving families, friends and healthcare workers is going to v long lasting.

With the urgent & rapidly growing research efforts in #COVID19 🌍 🚨 we have pivoted our resources 2 help @COVID19COS w/ establishing core outcomes ... & invite u and ur family, friends, colleagues ... to take part too: covid-19-cos.org/get-involved/ // @jhjelliott @JonathanCCraig


Amen to banning the words "withdrawal of care" - CARE CONTINUES ALWAYS. The discussion should be less about vents for #COVID19 and how are we going to provide good quality palliative care to acutely unwell people who are breathless and isolated from families. THIS IS CARE!

No room for wishful thinking. Read @DreJoanneLiu on preparing for the worst: theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl… 1. Medical facilities dedicated only to COVID19 pts 2 Protect physical/mental wellness of healthworkers always including the right PPE 3. Maintain critical care for non-COVID pts


I keep thinking I need to pay rent bc month end. Then I realize it's STILL March. March feels like 10 years already.


As the #COVID19 crisis expands, some hosp are using comorbidities & age as indicators for who to offer intensive care or not. Why not also incl a frailty index or karnofsky perform score to gauge overall status? We need to be evidence-based, fair & equitable using standard tool
