When I’m on palliative care consults and attending in our hospice unit we have to counsel patients about deprescribing and de-intensifying diabetes medications.

In one corner, weighing in at decades of experience, well known for heavy hits of bedside assessments, strong patient-family relationships, and a knockout punch of interdisciplinary collaboration, we have in-person palliative care consults.

Rather, most of us live and make decisions in relationship to one another.

So the first thing, explain the diagnosis. Eric 26:25 So if that therapeutic relationship reverses and now they’re supporting you. I mean, how do you negotiate that with the oncologist who is the one who consulted you, by the way, Eric, who does that go to? There’s this therapeutic relationship.

Now actually suggesting perhaps that you missed a diagnosis that you should have considered? 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. Is there a true relationship with that? Eric: Yeah.

It’s easier to concentrate on cure, diagnosis, cure.

Panelists Katie Fitzgerald Jones and Jessica Merlin have no relationships to disclose. Our field really lacks specificity in the terms that we use, and I think we really don’t know how chronic cancer pain, let’s say, a few years out from that initial diagnosis differs from, let’s say, chronic low back pain.

Part of that, as you’re alluding to, Eric, is this relationship with authority and with rules and word association, teenage rebellion.
