Red flags that you should always ask about include hematemesis, melana, dysphagia, and Unintentional weight loss, these all need further investigation for complications like esophagitis or another diagnosis such as EOE or peptic ulcer disease. Remember, our community pediatricians, family medicine doctors, are brilliant.

Prognosis communication and the subtle ways we may communicate it without intention. Community-based palliative care networks . And I believe it needs the community.

I care deeply about each and every one of my patients, and I do not want a difference in opinion to create a wedge in our relationship. This is relatively easy for straightforward medical decisions like taking an antibiotic for an infection, but becomes complicated during more complex situations.

Rather, most of us live and make decisions in relationship to one another. But once we realize that almost everybody makes decisions in the context of relationships. Relational autonomy was was first introduced to bioethics by feminist scholars, who observed that most people do not make decisions as isolated islands.

Alex and I did a study on over 2000 community dwelling older adults, and we found that over two thirds of people had geriatric conditions, these geriatric syndromes, and palliative care related problems like pain, difficulty climbing stairs. One of my good friends, Jerome Kim, is a community oncologist. Throw it in the trash.”

So Tammie developed something called EPIC for Emergency medicine, which is a curriculum that was one of the first ways that I think palliative care got spread in our community.

Patients that remind us of loved ones, patients that are often younger, really hard stories, complicated issues.

So at least in my oncology community, I really didn’t have anyone guiding or supporting or mentoring me. But the palliative care clinicians didn’t have the time or opportunity to foster and develop a longitudinal relationship with patients and their families. Jennifer: I think it’s such a complicated question.

This graph illustrates that the benefit of long-term GP-patient relationships is even dose-dependent (longer GP-patient-relationship = lower risk of dying prematurely): Why do long-term GP-patient relationships improve health and reduce costs? Over time, communication improves. Over time, more trust develops.

So it felt like it was being part of this huge kind of change in the whole environment and the whole experience of that community. And, you know, I’ve seen that some primary care providers, there’s still so much stigma that they don’t feel comfortable or they feel like that managing HIV is somehow too complicated.

What I often hear, grief, that normal, often, and we just had Holly Prigerson on the podcast talk about complicated grief, but grief in itself, that reaction, that is often triggered by loss.
