And so we worked closely with a community advisory group who, through focus groups, told us how it was that black and white individuals with serious illness had wanted to be treated. And so it was really the patients, you know, the caregivers, the family members were the ones who were sort of the closest in observing. Our consultation.

So I think just as much as we focus on the science and the evidence, it’s important to think about the art of how we apply that to people and the relationships and all of the great fun stuff, the stories that unfold in the exam room alongside the science itself. That was January 2020. Eric 04:44 Yeah. Ricky 11:23 Yeah.

So whether it’s an encounter with a patient or whether it’s a family meeting or a clinical practice meeting or a feedback session with a fellow, the idea that we have both the ability to be very full and open and also selective and disciplined about how it is that we.

I asked emergency medicine clinicians what they thought when a patient who is seriously ill and DNR comes to the ED, and some responded, (paraphrasing), what are they doing here?

I’m just thinking we all went through a major traumatic event in 2020 and the subsequent years. It was difficult life experiences like growing up in a family where you were hurt or where there was mental illness or drug addiction, alcohol issues, witnessing violence, those things can affect our health. So you ready?

December 2020. Dealing with conflict in caring for the seriously ill: “it was just out of the question” JAMA 2005. So many times, family caregivers have to argue with their loved ones about getting more help in the home or moving them to a place that has safety, has close proximity to medical care. Geriatrics.

Poetry helps us grapple with our own experiences of illness. Redwing: So I grew up in a pretty intellectual family, but my brother and sister were six and 10 years older than me, and they were always feeding me literature and poetry. I had planned to start doing in-person poetry sessions with cancer patients at the beginning of 2020.

You’d imagine though that our professional expertise and experiences in helping patients and families cope with loss and grief would be helpful in managing our own personal losses. And then to see her show up in our hospice unit in April of 2020, it just completely broke my heart. Turns out, it’s maybe not. Eric: Yeah.
