Working nights at a level 1 trauma center gives me a new appreciation for the kinds of folks who can just power through one severe patient trauma after another and still take time to smile at me and get to know me. #chaplainlife #hospitallife

As a chaplain, I learned that people don’t need advice—they need to feel felt. I wrote about 9 ways to listen in a way that makes space, not noise. constantcraving.substack.com/p/how-to-lis...

Not like I didn't already appreciate hospital workers, but after two weeks (only 4 actual days) as a chaplain intern, holy heck are healthcare folks amazing. I wish our society lauded and rewarded the right people. #ChaplainLife

"Snowstorm at Emory Hospital, but blessed to be a chaplain here. Grateful for a safe hotel stay with good food, warm drinks, and a peaceful view of the pretty snow outside. Sometimes, even in the storm, there's a reminder of grace. #ChaplainLife #Snowstorm #EmoryHospital"

I am thoroughly impressed by whoever made this #holidaylights display in the ER of the #hospital where I work! #chaplainlife #todaysoffice

Working at the #hospital tonight. Non-meat dinner options were #carbs as entree (pasta), carbs as a side (mashed potatoes), carbs as vegetable (sweetcorn), or carbs as dessert. I chose #dessert, which was also the only option with #protein! #pecanpie #happythanksgiving #chaplainlife ##todaysoffice

Really enjoyed work today- helped facilitate didactics on #Jewish & #Muslim patients' needs in #PalliativeCare, got advice on improving #HighHolidays support for Jewish patients & staff, and collaborated on a joint #Samhain #AllSaintsDay #DiaDeLosMuertos celebration. #interfaith #ChaplainLife

Had a fun #Medsky #Chaplainlife Friday Funny for you all:

"Other duties as needed."

This really hit me today with the laundry list it can often be. Today alone it meant "coordinate between three doctors' offices and a nursing facility to get medication."

What is your favorite memory?

Hey folks, looking for any #MedSky #MedLine people.

I'm struggling with the "skeeter" stuff, but looking to connect with other healthcare people.

One of the best things of the before place was connecting with #HCW during the plague. Hoping to keep that going.
