Our loves, our triumphs, our failures, our work, our families. . Eric’s blog post on Dignity Therapy from 2011. 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. It’s since spread to over 70 VAs. SPONSOR: . Heather: Sure.

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.

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. Janet: And Katie has a great CAPC blog too that kind of summarizes a lot of additional evidence and references online if you have access to that too. Eric: And why Under Pressure.

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.

As we’ve written about on GeriPal when we were a blog (a decade ago!) I think the first time I noticed it was, like as a medical student when you would rotate on one service with one attending and they would make decisions about how to treat a case one way. And so have some of my mentees. It’s a great example.

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. Julien: He basically had an end of life care discussion with this patient. Ken Covinsky wrote about it for GeriPal.
