We can’t possibly meet the needs of all people with newly diagnosed serious illness. And palliative care was as a program was just growing at Penn moving from just consult hospice to actually having a team when I was training. I have never myself called a palliative care consult as a trainee because we didn’t have one.

There’s the complications associated with immune senescence, comorbidities, atypical clinical presentations. It’s another article, another major article that has triggered the complicated UTI circuit. But what I did want to highlight is how we got to thinking about men that have UTIs have complicated UTIs.

And this case has been worked out the best in terms of the artificial intelligence suggesting diagnoses the clinician may have missed. So there’s some stuff out there like that, but also using AI to determine who at high risk and should get a palliative care consult. Alex: Mm-hmm. Like who is at high risk or low risk? Eric: Yeah.

And then we were involved, palliative care was consulted when the patient was really sick and decompensating in the ICU. This is not a process where they can see into the future around what complications or challenges may arise, but this is the world that we live in and we can anticipate that. Eric: Lynn or Anne?

I thought that was an interesting take on doing this, because a mother-daughter relationship can be complicated, can be wonderful, and it’s hard to navigate when you lose your mother. Eric: When I try to think about what a doula does, should I call it a consult? It just depends. That’s probably too medical.

And also the whole potential psychiatric diagnoses. I recently had this patient in clinic who, for complicated reasons that I won’t go into, our outpatient clinic had to put limits on his frequency of visits with me.

Eric 04:39 Yeah, I see it used on inpatient, side on consult clinics in hospices. So we really wondered, you know, in modern palliative care practice, where we’re seeing patients a lot farther upstream than we used to, and we’re seeing patients with a wider range of diagnoses, we wanted to update, sort of. Alex 10:40 Wow.

So, I mean, one thing that I take from Winston’s great paper, which I consulted in writing mine and cited, although maybe not as frequently as I should have, is this idea that a lot of these terms, and I think this is a philosophical perspective that Winston and I are both sympathetic to.
