Some medical procedures are uncomfortable & don't go quickly or smoothly. The pt’s well-being & the need to complete the task must both be thoughtfully considered continuously. @weselymd.bsky.social @aaronbostermd.bsky.social @albertoespay.bsky.social #MedSky closler.org/passion-in-t...

When prior notes document that a pt doesn’t “want” a specific intervention, elicit their desired outcome & acceptable trade-offs. Then determine whether “I don’t want X” is absolute or conditional & align care plan accordingly. @palliativescot.bsky.social #MedSky

Insomnia is a common condition that increases the risk of physical and mental health problems. Screening for it is an important part of patient care, and it can be quick and easy.

Performance anxiety is common, & clinicians are sometimes the first people patients turn to for help. Clinicians can normalize it, offer coping strategies, & refer when appropriate to reduce distress & improve well-being. @drjengunter.bsky.social @bengoldacre.bsky.social closler.org/lifelong-lea...

When the path is gray, reach out to your ethics committee for perspective. They help clarify options and provide guidance, which can improve communication with patients, families, and colleagues. @drberger.bsky.social @bermaninstitute.bsky.social #MedSky tinyurl.com/sv2sj2v4
