Back in February, we asked you, our listeners, to tell us how you’ve managed when your prescriptions got really expensive.

In one corner, weighing in at decades of experience, well known for heavy hits of bedside assessments, strong patient-family relationships, and a knockout punch of interdisciplinary collaboration, we have in-person palliative care consults.
