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.

As we’ve written about on GeriPal when we were a blog (a decade ago!) So you can basically take otherwise similar clinical scenario, but you can make one of the actors and their family members Black and one of the actors and their family members white. It’s a great example. They were keeping their arms crossed.

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. And then just going back to what Lauren was saying about Jack Washington’s paper in JAMA, that was such a seminal paper.

What happened is that firstly, in terms of my clinical background, my background is psycho-oncology, so that’s working with patients with cancer and their families, including when they’re going through periods.

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. There’s a little paranoia in the family for good reason. Are you trying to reach people in your local community? I am not a writer naturally. And so I just didn’t like to write.

Alex 21:31 Blog post, if we’re talking about the same study, was like, fast food palliative care, in and out palliative care, something like that. And the entire community of palliative care said yes, not a palliative care study. Or the article that, the fast food article, to use the parlance from the blog post.

For example, is reluctance to take on more responsibility at work or relocate because you feel inadequate or is it because of genuine concern about the impact on your family? I think we’re really good at that as palliative care doctors when we’re dealing with families. You need to be different.

You basically don’t even ask the family, you just stop the bleeding. Are you encountering family members who are just, like, at a loss for what to do and tortured it? Patients who are sort of estranged from family members who then have to make these decisions for somebody that they don’t really know. You know, they.
