Alex 00:20 Today we’re delighted and honored to welcome Eduardo Bruera, who is one of the biggest symptom management gurus, if not the biggest symptom management guru in palliative medicine.

This idea that for critically ill patients in the ICU, geriatric conditions like disability, frailty, multimorbidity, and dementia should be viewed through a wider lens of what patients are like before and after the ICU event was transformative for our two guests today.

And this is really traumatic event for his street family and the street community that he knew. How much of your training was focused on managing substance use disorder training and palliative care?

So how physically active the patient is, how much time they spend awake, how much they’re eating, how much care they need, that type of thing. Someone’s function in the future can depend on, like, a crisis event, like a fall and a hip fracture. I don’t know how our patients manage that. Eric 05:50 Yeah.
