Social workers augment a team’s ability to provide whole-person care, often aiding to identify and meaningfully address the wide variety of challenges and unmet needs faced by individuals and families facing serious illness. And then my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer and she was treated there. It’s good. So proud of myself.

The last time this happened to me I immediately went on the defensive despite years of training in serious illness communication skills. It’ll come out in these deviant behaviors, just like you mentioned earlier, where maybe we stave off seeing that patient, send the medical student instead or delay that visit till the end of the day.
