The fire and fury of Trump ’s diet
As a physician, I am totally disgusted by what President Donald Trump eats — and you should be too. His standing order on Trump Force One is reminiscent of a fast-food bacchanalia, comprised of “two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish, and a chocolate malted” according to the recently released book by his former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and top aide David Bossie.

Valentine’s Day is coming up. It’s the holiday many of us have a love hate relationship with and that’s understandable.
When I was single, I dreaded it. The heart-filled, chocolate covered day, only seemed to remind me of how alone I felt. I remember being in high school walking around empty-handed as I watched everyone around me filled with excitement about the gifts they got.
I didn’t love it that much more when I found my husband. It was just another reason to spend money on ways to prove my worth as a partner.
Along the way I realized that these were just other people’s expectations of wha...

Here
She could not stop smiling. Her face was so warm, she was inside-her-own-face warm. “Nobody rises” they were singing in the background. His voice was a terracotta pot, smooth, round, just so right. They were all harmonizing yellow, again, just right. A springtime of yellow. The new shoots from the ground were her friends, she’d kind of just made them, the friends. It was no effort. She had only experienced that one other time, and that was with Him. The sweetness of it, sun-warmed chocolate, back-of-your-tongue thick.

After working for the whole day, running from one place to another, handling boss and irritating colleagues, the only thing which can make your day is a good sleep. But good sleep doesn’t mean lying in bed for 9 hours and still feeling exhausted after waking up.

Although there are many things which you...

Diary of a New Hospice Volunteer
By Lizzy MilesI had forgotten that I had written about my first few days as a hospice volunteer. I just discovered it while I was looking through some old electronic files. Now, ten years later, with more education and a career in hospice, I still notice that some things never change. You would think that I would be more certain about things, but I don ' t think I am. However, I believe that uncertainty is a necessary part of the job. I ' ve written about howwe don ' t know death. When we are uncertain, that means we are evaluating our behavior and how it ' s perceived by others. I now believe it ' s good to be a little bi...

Pallimed Roundup: #Endwell17 Attendees and Speakers Reflect on Personal Meaning of Ending Well
Curated by Lizzy MilesLast week, I attended theEndwell Symposium in San Francisco. (You could read my reviewhere). Collectively, we were examining how we can improve the end of life experience for all. It occurred to me as we talked about individual desire and diversity that the attendees might have unique expectations and hopes for their own personal ending. So I asked around. You ' ll note some trends, but also some very unique answers.What would it mean for you personally to “end well?”“Being present to the experience. I don’t want to control it, I just want to know.”-Karen Van DykeSenior Care by Design“To e...
