Earlier this year palliative care was the correct response to the following clue on the game show Jeopardy: From a Latin word for “to cloak”, it’s the type of care given to seriously ill patients to provide comfort without curing. We had tried to actually select people who didn’t have a serious illness. Marian: Thank you.

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? We can’t possibly meet the needs of all people with newly diagnosed serious illness. By diagnosis? By prognosis?

nursing homes grapple with serious illnesses, and roughly half experience dementia. Despite these substantial needs, specialized palliative care beyond hospice is rare in nursing homes.

Kate: Sounds right.

Eric: I’m looking forward to talking about art and humor in palliative care and we’re caring for seriously ill patients. I think that there are times when we use humor to cope, and that’s a special and very tender space for of people to share in, but is not something that you want to expose to the light of the world.

What I think so special about palliative care is that there’s some really radical and important ideas that sort of undergird our work and that provided a foundation for our work.

So if you think about 100 patients per year, that you need to have some benchmark after going into business to care for so many terminally ill patients. And the hard part is, as a provider in palliative care, I actually have very little say of which hospice the individuals we consult to go to. It feels somewhat random in some ways.

I asked emergency medicine clinicians what they thought when a patient who is seriously ill and DNR comes to the ED, and some responded, (paraphrasing), what are they doing here? Most emergency providers wanted to do the right thing for seriously ill patients, but they didnt have the knowledge, skills, or experience to do it.

You know, she would have had 90 really good years, and she would have just gone into a coma with no blood pressure and died, you know, with, like, a day and a half of illness. They have a special skill, and when they see someone who needs it, they need to use it. That makes it really special for them and for me. And I was.

Summary Transcript Summary As Betty Ferrell says on our podcast today, nurses play an essential role in care of people with serious illness. But my co-fellow and I, we were on service for the ethics service and we had a run of consults where the clinician who placed the consults framed the consult as an issue of ambivalence.

That happened to me when reading “Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World.” Bob: Well, it changed how I helped talk to people who are seriously ill and it acknowledged some of the feelings that I have and helped me be more aware of those feelings when I’m taking care of patients. Eric: Yeah.
