Some of our healthcare systems are hard, and challenging, and I think that it’s time that we have a change. I think there’s maybe a little bit of debate as to when those turn from being just normal age related changes to then being something more, but it happens in many different areas of healthcare. Eric: Lovely.

Eric 00:42 So on this podcast, we’re gonna be talking about what every healthcare provider should know about radiation oncology.

And it’s a bit of a hokey title, but what I try and impress on readers there is that, the reflection that patients see of themselves, at least metaphorically in the eye of the healthcare provider, needs to be one that is affirming of patient dignity.

So we looked at hospital referral regions, and we looked at high- and low- intensity regions. Caroline: And I love how you highlight the importance of these staff biases, perhaps implicit bias that is driving some of these healthcare decisions.

And we got this as a hospice referral, and could we, you know, take her on and support her in hospice? Yeah, but I mean, in healthcare you need to appreciate the risks, benefits and alternatives of the proposed intervention. It’s a, it’s a, it’s a past self directing healthcare for a future self.
