My uncle and I have had trouble getting healthcare providers to include me in care discussions. He's about to have another inpatient procedure, then rehab, and I can't be there in person at the start. I'm planning on sending the attached letter in with him to give to the hospital & rehab staff. I think I've covered everything, but if this is your jam I'd appreciate any suggestions you have for increasing the odds that it will work. Thank you!

@kidskylark I don't know that there's a law that says that specifically. I suspect there is probably a law or regulation that says providers aren't allowed to disregard patients' clearly expressed wishes in whatever form they are expressed. And I've found that when dealing with bureaucracy, vaguely ominous language like that is often effective at making people understand I mean business. Just trying to speak their language. 😉

@kidskylark One message I'm trying to convey here is, "If you fuck up my uncle's care because you didn't keep me in the loop, I'm coming after you with lawyers."

Howard Stern told Kamala Harris he'll be voting for her during their conversation on his SirusXM show. Trump was once a frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show and the pair attended each others' weddings, but their relationship has soured in recent years, with the former president accusing the radio host of becoming "woke." Here's @THR's story on VP Harris's chat with Stern, plus what she said on today's episode of "The View."

@THR. Not only has Stern been described as woke — he happily wears the description. On his show last year, he said: "To me, the opposite of woke is being asleep. And if woke means I can’t get behind [Trump], which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender, or I’m for the vaccine — dude, call me woke as you f‑‑‑ing want."

@_L1vY_ @todymotmot. Seems like he broke with Trump a few years ago and hasn't spoken with him since he refused to speak at the RNC before the 2016 election.

I hope they bring back the original modders to work on the new one!
