I love my Plastic Surgery residency family! One part of me loves being able to relax at home, shower, and sleep in my own bed during my call shifts, but the other part of me did not like all the gas I used having to drive back and forth between the two hospitals I was covering for consults, or the fact that home call means no post call days.

Attendee 12: I’m hopeful for more access to people to have palliative care early, and I’m hopeful that we’re able to provide patients and families what they need, which is a lot more caregiving, which I feel like is a big thing that we’re missing in our healthcare.

This is like, back in 2013, and I joined the faculty at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. And I think a big part of that journey was just having that right time, that right moment, with the right network and support groups of individuals, including my family, to really lift me up and allow me to celebrate my authentic self.

Patients families want to know whether their loved one has died. And one would be when care is continuing a case where people believe that the patients died, or oftentimes, this is also a source of controversy between families and clinicians. And I think maybe we could list them all. That’s one key interested party.

Family history of febrile seizures. And let’s be honest, the term simple sort of undersells how scary this is for families. This is an important thing that we talk to families about. Simple febrile seizures do not require neurology consults or admissions. A recent immunization. Prenatal exposure to nicotine.
