Wonderful Lizzy #deathcafe
Mark your calendars - #deathcafe @westervlibrary #CMH 1/11/2020 10-noon. Free! Interesting conversation guaranteed! #hapc #hpm #cbus
Thank you for sharing - im off to work on classes with my local librarian - I’ve been offering workshops on death and dying for three plus years - many need to speak openly about their fears, struggles and even joys surrounding death and dying. Blessings
Totally agree - we are one people. I am all for creating compassionate communities of care. Primal fear of not surviving is so hard wired! We must rise above this and have a shift in consciousness. We are fascinating beings to be sure.
True - however many here do not pay any taxes whatsoever - causing a kind of black hole effecting the bottom line for all. If they just paid into the present system as others do we would be moving in a better direction. Ouch - politics! I appreciate your contributions - thank you
It is understandable if not acceptable. Many people have worked hard to get that “entitlement” and want to see benefits for themselves and their families due to the sacrifices they have had to make. Some people have got away with it and become lazy, expecting all without effort

Oh yes! We have some progressives that are fighting for this and for our lives really - OMG - talk about added stress to ones daily life - I fight shock everyday since DT took office and the realization of so many many fearful greedy people in power here. Yikes!!! My heart hurts
This is will be difficult (if not impossible) whilst the “haves” continue to demand immediate / instant access at the expense of the “have nots” who do not pay for the service but experience poorer service. Mindset for “entitlement” difficult to change

Luckily I am@loosed to do this however training many to do the same is also part of my offering. I was trained as a clinical hospital chaplain and navigate those systems well. So many institutions need that extension into the homes and lives of the patients they serve. Agreed
That’s the “value add” which is so vital to help and support people and families. Needs you to not just work with them but also the organisations delivering the care. So you need to know how to extend what is said in the consulting room and work with the care provider
Yes - agreed. Having access certainly empowers people to integrate and explore their emotions and illnesses in their time. Sharing with family and friends - I work to bridge the gap and offer an extra cushion of support between communities and the medicalization of death.
The issue is not really about the technology. It’s about the culture and getting expectations aligned between the different groups of people whilst improving the quality and safety of care. Working in the #NHS as a family physician means I work for all types of people & abilities
In the US there are many who lack the ability to receive health care! There are some electronic records available in certain HC systems which are wonderful - however to date there are a million dif DNR & Adv Dir forms (confusing) which most cannot access - not even in hospitals.
Glad you understand this. So important to understand why we are succeeding. Here are talks that show the impact and what happens as soon as we start working together towards a common goal #Empowerlution htmc.co.uk/pages/pv.asp?p=ht…

Here, here!!!
Patients cannot do this on their own when thinking about healthcare which is by definition a team sport. Important to understand this and reasons why. Need to work with carers, clinicians and managers and staff too within organisations that get this #Empowerlution
I enjoy /rely on an electronic med chart “my chart” via the cleveland clinic - recently I needed care somewhere else who didn’t offer any I felt lost. I can email any provider ive seen within the last year, see all upcoming / past visits, request meds, dc notes, etc. love it
It means when they phone the surgery, they are not 47th in the queue but rather 1st or 2nd. It means those who are so poorly that when they come in person, we can cater for their needs better because others have sorted themselves out via online services. All benefit

A little something we’re hoping to launch in our community. Magnetized heart frame like this image containing documents kept on refrigerator! This is a sample of a matching window sticker to (hopefully) alert first responders / family / caregivers.

So hurtful for conscious and unconscious pt, fam and medical professionals - #slowmedicine =‘s healing on all levels.
