So I have thought about this for months, maybe years since your 2016, cycle blog, but we have picked Under Pressure by David Bowie and Queen. This is both a research and a clinical interest of yours. They don’t have an addiction clinic. Eric: And why Under Pressure. I’m going to start off with Katie. Right, Katie?

So I think as palliative care clinicians, we use narrative as we try to understand more about the persons that we’re caring for and their families. Been in the hospital four times, vented, been told the story to her family, she won’t live. And so I really gain that and I love the chorus words that she uses in this song.

And in response, the family or patient looked at you like you were from another planet? Coming off as rote and scripted during a serious illness conversation can have a similar off-putting impact on patients and families.

Today we’re going to be talking about narrative writing specifically for healthcare professionals. My entree into healthcare is not in the academic space at all. I started blogging as a patient, just talking about my own story online like patients did back in the day. So unlike academic journals and elsewhere.

Amber tells the moving story of how these findings led a clinical colleague, her chief, to question and change his behavior. As we’ve written about on GeriPal when we were a blog (a decade ago!) Amber: Well, simulation is pretending, so I think of the way I use simulation is in trying to simulate clinical care.

So in those cases, can we adopt an approach to mental health care that centers primarily around quality of life of patients and their families? Eric 07:03 Yeah, it’s hard because you can also think about it, let’s say, because we see palliative heart failure clinics. Are there any palliative care psychiatry clinics?

Back then we were a blog and Ken’s post, which is titled, Survival from Severe Sepsis: The infection is cured, but all is not well, is still one of our most viewed posts on Jerry Powell. You can use that when you’re talking to families about prognostication. Ken Covinsky wrote about it for GeriPal.

Sonu: Prior to that it was illegal and actually in the criminal code, so not only illegal, it’s actually a prohibition in the clinical code. Bill, welcome back to GeriPal.

And then I feel like when I’m in clinic I’m helping individuals, and you only have so much time to help so many people. In clinic, I’m helping what, hundreds or thousands. I came from a family where you didn’t write things down, somebody could find them and hold you to them or all of that kind of stuff.

I remember walking through San Francisco Airport with Bob, we just happened to be there at similar times, and saying, “Eric and I are thinking about starting a blog.” And you say, “Okay, that’s fine, but can it really … What about a real live clinical situation?” That is the first clinical use case.

Eric 07:31 A clinical perspective, why is it important to test this stepped care model versus implementing more? And now when I think about the clinic at Duke, when we’re really running on all cylinders, we can get ourselves up to a five, six, seven week wait for a new palliative care referral. This is Eric Widera.

This podcast was initially sparked by Josh’s “Note From a Family Meeting” Substack post titled “ Ambivalence in Clinical Decision-Making ,” which discussed Bryanna’s and Jenny’s 2022 article titled “ Two Minds, One Patient: Clearing up Confusion About Ambivalence.” I was a clinical ethics fellow at Baylor College of Medicine.

You basically don’t even ask the family, you just stop the bleeding. Does this issue ring true to you clinically? In your clinical, everyday reality, this comes up and say, like, does this ring true to you from your work in the icu, from your work with patients? You don’t agonize over those decisions.
