In day-to-day practice, It’s hard to imagine providing excellent hospice or palliative care services without access to a team social worker. And I think that’s when I got hooked on how do we improve care, in my case again, for kids and families, but also for us, the providers. I can figure out how to provide care in this way.

And one of the things was, “You’re telling us stuff we already know”, and also, “I’m going to critique you in that you didn’t provide any solutions.” We can train medical students and residents about geriatrics without geriatricians. I don’t think you should. I really don’t.

Many links: VA Presents: My Life, My Story: George: A Voice To Be Heard on Apple Podcasts. And which of those experiences would you like to share with us that we could then write into a story that we’ll share with providers? Wonderful work. Every Veteran has a story. Our mission is to help them tell it. So it sounds like them.

And which of those experiences would you like to share with us that we could then write into a story that we’ll share with providers? It started here at Madison at one and it’s also spread outside the VA now to hospitals in Boston, Providence and now starting up actually in California and UCLA and UCSF.

And I think the crisis that we’re in right now in healthcare delivery, the idea of laying down my badge, I think that’s maybe a metaphor for being a sheriff, but what about being a healthcare provider? And so depending on which number of permutations this particular community member was randomized to. I love this song.

I must admit, though, sometimes it just feels off… inauthentic, as if it’s not a genuine desire to improve our lives as health care providers, but rather a metric to check off or a desire to improve productivity and billing by making the plight of workers a little less miserable. I am not the one. I don’t need to be fixed.

Today we have a star-studded lineup, including Lexy Torke of Indiana University, who discusses her RCT of a chaplaincy intervention for surrogates of patients in the ICU , published in JPSM and plenary presentation at AAHPM/HPNA. I wonder if you could tell that story for our listeners. George Soros had the project on Death in America.

I am wondering whether it’s the conversations and preparation that’s primary care providers and outpatient providers are having with a lot of these patients and families to either prevent an ICU admission or potentially address their goals, such that they don’t go into the ICU.

And finally, Wendy offers a drawing lesson and ONE-MINUTE drawing assignment to help us (and our listeners) be more present and connect with one another. What is it about the images of the dying that helps teach medical students? First you have to be a volunteer and see what it’s like to be present at the bedside.
