Wild that I, a person who hates to bother people, have chosen a career where my literal job is to bother people.

We trust groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics to offer evidence-based guidelines. But the AAP's obesity recs lack solid evidence and could place millions of kids at risk. After well over a year of reporting, this story is published & free to read statnews.com/2024/09/16/aap-…

“I’d rather be dead than live like this.” When her “do not resuscitate” order was ignored, Marie Cooper found herself in a painful situation she had hoped to avoid. She now needs round-the-clock care, and is unable to bathe, dress or cook for herself. nyti.ms/3Mhxojs

Excellent piece by @KateRaphael_ on some of the challenges & misconceptions associated with DNR & DNI orders. Extra kudos for quoting my former program director @DHPalliative, the brilliant Dr. Max Vergo. Well worth a read. #Bioethics #PalliativeCare

...She tried to pull at the tubes and IV lines protruding from her body. She motioned to her daughter and the doctors that she desperately wanted her breathing tube removed. “They had me tied down,” Ms. Cooper said. “I was scared to death.” @KateRaphael_ nytimes.com/2024/08/26/well/…

I heard from many PA seniors directly impacted by fracking, but scant resources exist for them, and they’re often left out of research. Thrilled this story has a home at Grist.
Of the nearly 18M Americans living near oil and gas wells, close to 3 million are 65 and older.
For older adults, living in polluted areas has the potential for devastating, even life-ending, health problems. grist.org/health/pennsylvani…

Sobering to hear from Boulder-based athletes whose lives and athletic careers are still impacted by the Marshall fire, more than a year after the disaster.
I’ve had this story in my head for a long time—thrilled it has a home at @thevictorypress

Nonprofits Fire Safe Sonoma and Habitat for Humanity forged a rare partnership to retrofit the homes of older lower-income Sonoma residents so they could age more safely in place in the county, where 20% of residents are over the age of 65. @KateRaphael_
