Ten years ago we would have been hard pressed to find 3 clinical trial abstracts submitted to the annual meeting, much less high quality randomized trials with robust measures, sample sizes, and analytics plans.

I don’t practice clinically in outpatient settings, and often the folks I’m seeing are there for other kinds of issues. If they’re in a major car crash, they’re going to have more long-term complications probably than a 20-year-old would. Love to talk about also in the serious illness population. Emmy: Yeah.

Somebody shouts at my front Desk staff because they’re pissed off about their appointment time. The clinical trials and the this and that. I said, you know, I don’t usually start my appointments in laughter. She writes it down in a little sticky note on her phone, and she saves it for her next appointment.

Susan: I’ll just say, I think that could happen outside of the healthcare setting pretty easily and frequently does. So I do think it often does happen that younger adults appoint a surrogate when they engage in estate planning, for example. And I don’t think necessarily, that appointment needs to be a medicalized process.

And, what if your surgeon openly discussed the expected ‘bad stuff’ of post-operative recovery, instead of rotely reciting a list of possible complications? Instead, what if your surgeon told you that the operation she was discussing could help with only 4 things: live longer, feel better, prevent disability, or obtain a diagnosis?

Alex: And we’re delighted to welcome back to the GeriPal podcast, Keri Brenner, who is also a psychiatrist and palliative care doctor and clinical associate professor at Stanford. I’m really excited about this because clinically this happened to me, somebody was very angry at something we were talking about.
