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.

I started blogging as a patient, just talking about my own story online like patients did back in the day. I was like maybe I’ll write a blog post about this later. I’m going to try to remember as much as I can, so when I wake up, can I write a … My thought was I’m going to write a cool blog post about this.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, I wouldn’t say that I learned that from books as much as I learned that from, as you are saying, a sort of revised approach to medical students at UCSF.
