Panelists David Bekelman, Lyndsay DeGroot, and Diah Martina have no relationships to disclose. And that made me think more about, they’ve been dealing with these illnesses for many years before we even met them in the ICU, and why aren’t we doing more of this care where they live? In their communities? David: Yes.

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. Now more than ever we need to make sure that we are taking into account all of the pillars of medical ethics when making decisions that affect patient care.

Jerry: Probably for the reason a lot of people go into geriatrics, close relationship with grandparents, volunteered to work in a nursing home as a high school student, just felt really good about being around old people and not having a problem with it.

So we take that science and we apply it to something that’s very messy and chaotic, like a human being or a community or a population. I think it started off from a need, a hunger in the community. And then as it grew, I just was viewing the entire enterprise as a love letter to health care. Emily 06:27 Yes.

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. We adapted a small group of us, Vital Talk for emergency medicine, which is communication skills training using simulation. And so we use that.

What happened is we’re in the serious illness care business and so we were busy rolling out our serious illness conversations at Mass General and we were getting resistance, which we expected from oncology and primary care, but then we started getting resistance from the geriatricians.

So that would be palatable to the community that I could look at, whether we were over-screening those 80 and older. So we have done a few qualitative studies where we’ve worked with a bunch of primary care clinicians, geriatricians included and adults 76 and older to try to get language to have these kind of conversations.

There is a patient caregiver relationship that evolves over time, and there’s less of a focus on intimacy in that relationship. So most of us in primary care, it’s probably even worse. We have a lot of loss of libido, loss of physical intimacy as a result of the changing dynamic in the relationship.
