We really do have so many resources at our disposal, and it is very hard for them to know everything about kids and adults while practicing in locations where they don’t have these consultants available 24/7.

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.

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.” Alex: Yeah, we talk a lot about de-skilling in geriatrics and palliative care, because so much of what we do is a consultant role.
