It also feels like, I also grew up in med school in a three hospital system. There’s the variation between the hospitals, feels like there’s cultural issues that play a role. So then you drill down further, just like you said, Eric, when you were going back between different hospitals. Eric: Yeah.

Marie 03:08 So, living in Alabama, which is our palliative care desert in the south, there were no palliative care services in any of the small rural hospitals.

So I think the examples that we’ve seen is an individual will all of a sudden start using humor in a particular way or will using wry humor and that is reminiscent of the kind of humor the person used prior to developing dementia.

But from our clinical work, many of us are familiar with people with dementia who experience sudden shocks to their health, think hip fracture, think hospitalization for pneumonia. And then when you see clinically patients coming into hospital, they’ll have, you know, they’ll be admitted for aspiration pneumonia.

The way we were treating him with dementia in the hospital, the way we talked about him, that he’s not there. Malaz: … to restrain them in the hospital. You come over to the clinic, you go to the hospital, you provide service, and the insurance and you negotiate how much you’re going to get paid.

But it feels the same in that I was on call a lot over the summer, and I took care of a lot of people behind those hospital walls. And we don’t see hospitals being strained as much anymore. You know, of course, serious disease, hospitalization and death. And, you know, some people are still getting very sick.
