Narjust Florez: Discharge is the time when patients are most vulnerable
Narjust Florez shared in Twitter:
“Discharge is the time when patients are most vulnerable.
- A new normal starts.
- An unimaginable new number of pills that need to fit in schedules.
- All pills look the same, white and round.
- From support to loneliness.
I will NEVER see discharges the same way.”
