Allowing a terminal [human] patient to be with their pet(s) in their dying days/hours is an act of true human decency and compassion. And really should just be permitted, as a rule, in palliative care wards. ❤️❤️❤️

What do you call it when you sneak a cat onto a hospital roof hold said cat up to the window so that a patient can see her best friend one last time before she dies? 🤔🐈 I call it the best part of my job 🤷🏻‍♂️. Cat was wearing a harness for safety 😁🏥 #hpm #hapc

Research projects are on hold due to COVID-19. Extraordinary times. Question is though, will universities step-up and support #HDR and #PhD students? Undergrad grades are being 'weighted' to recognise the disruption, how will HDR candidates be supported?
