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.

Our loves, our triumphs, our failures, our work, our families. . Eric’s blog post on Dignity Therapy from 2011.

We start off the conversation by talking about whether patients with cancer and cancer pain are really that different, and their paper that was just published on January 11 th in JAMA Oncology showing that substance use disorder is not uncommon in individuals with cancer. And you wrote, actually, a beautiful GeriPal blog about it a while ago.

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. I am there with individuals who are dying. And it’s a family environment, it becomes like a big family here.

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.

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.

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. You can use that when you’re talking to families about prognostication. Ken Covinsky wrote about it for GeriPal.

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. But she and I were running the simulation rooms.

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 it started off for individuals with a terminal illness. So being well and also potentially periods of dying.

So we’re going to be talking about palliative care for individuals with mental illness. 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 think the last time we had a request was from Bob Arnold for something about vampires.

And then I feel like when I’m in clinic I’m helping individuals, and you only have so much time to help so many people. 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.

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. Or the article that, the fast food article, to use the parlance from the blog post. So I don’t know how clinically meaningful that week difference was to families.

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.
