It's #backtoschool time! Meet Matthew, who says he owes his place on the select #baseball team to Dr. Alexander Lin, who used #3Dprinting to help get Matthew on the field. Matthew gave "his hero" @AlexLinPlastic a signed jersey & ball. #OurLoveForKids bit.ly/30hCPFq

In a family meeting, after you explained the situation is worse, I see many doctors ask,
"What would he WANT?"
I think this is a BAD question, although I'm aware it is well-intentioned.
I will tell you why...(thread)

Pessimist: The glass is half-empty!
Optimist: The glass is half-full!
Proactive person: Actually, the glass is full. I refilled it while you were arguing. You're welcome

When you hear something for the first time, you can probably ignore it. If you hear it multiple times, from different sources you should probably do something about it.

Too many of our impressions of others are based on too few clues.
It's like the Kanizsa illusion: we only see corners, but our minds fill in a full triangle.
When interpreting people's words and actions, be careful not to fill in what you can't see.
