My voice is nothing special. Just encourage patients and families to bring music into their healthcare experience. There’s a small book called Music and Creativity in Healthcare Settings written by Hilary Moss. Relationships are usually more complicated. I think that’s more palliative than me. I was going to.

So I make the point, they often say, “Oh, you have this special population,” like pediatrics, where it’s 10% or something. But I think if I were under normal constraints of the healthcare system, I wouldn’t have that time. Do you worry about that? We actually have the majority. Well, I do it personally.

And then there’s the extra, the other layers of the work that are important. So it’s a lot, but it’s good. Who do you want to read the book?

This week we’ve invited three guests to share their stories about storytelling that’s written for healthcare providers. Today we’re going to be talking about narrative writing specifically for healthcare professionals. What motivated you to reach out to the healthcare audience in this way? It feels special to me.

Alex: And we are also delighted to welcome Areej El-Jawahri, who is an oncologist at Massachusetts General Hospital as well, who specializes in blood cancers. So I really opted to specialize in lung cancer because I thought that was the appropriate population to build a supportive and palliative care research agenda. Jennifer: Thanks.

primary palliative care interventions seem to fail, whereas specialized palliative care interventions have a relatively robust track record of success. Do they have documents in the record like medical orders for life sustaining treatment or a healthcare proxy? Yeah, that’s a more complicated story. And it was like 29eds.

I think we shouldn’t be doing advanced care planning before somebody has a serious illness or something that’s likely to end their lives, beyond having a healthcare proxy.

Complicated grief? Sarah: So I think and there are definitely to answer your original question, Eric, that there are populations and and maybe even populations or groups within certain populations that the three of us are working with that have potentially special needs around advance care planning. Did they have PTSD? Depression?

The idea is, if it works at MGH, that’s a special kind of a place, maybe they do palliative care differently, maybe they have better resources, would this work at other transplant centers that have different kinds of clinicians or that serve different kinds of patients; so we wanted to have diversity of sites and clinicians and patients.

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? That gets really complicated as well. Should eligibility and access be determined by clinician referral? By diagnosis? By prognosis?

But the HIV we do see, and it feels tragic because the people who are dying of and affected by the more kind of traditional, if you call it that, kinds of complications, some of which can be fatal of HIV AIDS are the people who are not on treatment. In San Francisco, HIV care was more specialized in that. So it was more integrated.

But the process of implementing this project across two big health systems in our area was very complicated and had its share of both challenges and rewards. At a high level to sort of step in and start, you know, tinkering with workflows that, you know, are kind of as healthcare is a giant machine in primary care. Is that right?

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. We’re moving back to an earlier time, in a way, in which the locus of care wasn’t in these highly specialized hospitals.
