G is for Goals of Care . . I’ve talked about this before, but one thing I feel especially blessed to be a part of are goals of care conversations with families. . . As a physician, it is my role to provide families with my knowledge about their condition and about their likely quality of life. We aren’t gods, so of course we don’t have all the answers. But we can take a decent guess. The most important aspect of goals of care is abiding by the patient’s wishes- or what we think their wishes would be. . . #hospital #patients #procreate #illustration #webcomic #resident #intern #pgy1 #medicine #residencylife #inpatient #doctor #relatable #womeninmedicine #blackdoctors #graphicmedicine #premed #premedmotivation #im #residency #internyear #internalmedicine #medschool #medicine #medicalschool #medlife #md
