For many who follow the blog regularly, you likely have noticed that I haven’t published a blog post in quite some time (a month or two). Because of this, carving out the time for family remains a top priority, and as our family grows, more and more time is needed to make that goal a reality.

Eric: I do not want my family to listen to my podcasts. So, I generally don’t listen to the podcast afterwards, nor force them on my family. I actually wrote a blog post about this when we were a blog. We were a blog? ” I think we started the blog in 2007 or 2008, we were doing that up until 2016.

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.

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.

And back then, mostly we took care of each other in the cells and it was like a family thing. AIDs didn’t know any color or creed, so it was a family thing, we all took care of each other. And it’s a family environment, it becomes like a big family here. And this is my family, who I spend my time with.

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.

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. So being well and also potentially periods of dying. But that was separate from MAID. You’re on mute, Bill.

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?

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. I am not a writer naturally. And I was even the kid who didn’t write her parents from camp. With that, goodnight everybody.

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?

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.
