The decision of how frequently you should get a cholesterol screening largely hinges on various risk factors such as your age, sex, health conditions, lifestyle factors, and family history. More frequent screening may be necessary if a child has obesity, diabetes, or a family history of high cholesterol or cardiac disease.

I mean, to me, the Buddhist concept that there are multiple forms of suffering, like there’s the suffering that’s due to pain and physical symptoms. The more we can notice that, the more we can actually be present for that family and actually see how they’re experiencing it. Naomi, your thoughts on this?

It feels nearly impossible if you add another degree of difficulty, whether it be a crying interpreter or a grandchild from another state who shows up at the end of a family meeting yelling how you are killing grandma. And my grandkid, like, I need you to see this child and, like, how wonderful and special they are. I heard that.

And so, three years of seeing over and over people having really difficult end of life experiences in the ICU, not being able to advocate for themselves, a lot of trauma for their families, I just thought, we have to do better than this. I was really passionate about helping the people and also their families. Eric: Yeah. David: Right.

And, you know, I just thought it was a really special song. I’ve seen patients post transplant when they start having complications. They are complicated. They’re complicated from a symptom standpoint. And so I honestly think it has to do with how complex the diseases and the complications that come from it.

My voice is nothing special. A music therapist would use music deliberately to achieve a rehabilitation goal, just like a physical therapist or an occupational therapist. And we got all into his family stuff and how he’d been suffering with cancer and his goal. I think that’s more palliative than me. I had no idea.

And also it’s a little bit of an insult to one’s identity to feel like if this special person in your life can be forgotten, then you can be forgotten. But our living memory home is a way to both maintain that connection, because that’s the fear is that you’re going to lose this connection to this very special person.

We talk with Kate about how despite how far we’ve come in palliative care research, we still don’t have answers to some fundamental questions, such as: Who should get specialized palliative care? But definitely always had the bug to be the one to jump into the family meetings in the ICU, lead them. That gets really complicated as well.

I am part of some other work in the ICU world looking at time-limited trials and trying to better define what those are, how we talk about them, how we talk about them with patients and families. It’s complicated because right now there’s no mechanism other than cost avoidance. Why did you do this study, Tom?

And so this is our way of supporting non English speaking families in advanced care planning. And I have a long interest in identifying family caregivers and supporting them in care delivery. And so this was really, in my view, a perfect window for reinforcing the role of family in primary care. Eric 02:32 Great, Alex.

The pneumonia could get treated, but I think geriatricians, actually, were well aware of iatrogenic complications of care and quality gaps, even well before the IOM reports of the late 1990s and the like. In our larger studies, before the study that Tacara helped lead, we never required family members to be present, or do work.

Born into a family of physicians who warned her not to pursue medicine. Families can sue the employer financially liable for killing their own employees by overworking them (when they die of heart attacks, strokes and they’re found dead like by their computer because they’ve been working for so long).

In our city of Victoria, for instance, many people do not have a family doctor because so many doctors have retired; those who are left are unable to take new patients because their lists are full. Doctors who agree to work for the armed forces receive special benefits. The experience is known to be valuable and rewarding.
