DorAnne 30:25 I also wanna make a shout out for pain and symptom management with social work and chaplains. So we totally forget that all of us are symptom managers as well. And so we often have one person go in to do the initial contact, the initial consult, and it can be anybody from any of the professions. I don’t know.

It was around helping communication, and really focused on our nursing manual, and particularly around these guidelines for assessing and managing symptoms. So, the docs actually wrote orders for tests, medications, consults. And in their study, they had default palliative care consults for everybody, and there was no consent, right?

And my grandkid, like, I need you to see this child and, like, how wonderful and special they are. Is the sort of task to manage. 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? They’re asking you for a consultation. I heard that.

So in our trial, because of security reasons, we are required by Health Canada to store the substance in a special secure area in my office. And those of us who work in palliative care are more familiar with the 5ht3 receptor, which we use for nausea management. James, I think you got the song request for Alex. So 5ht2 was.

primary palliative care interventions seem to fail, whereas specialized palliative care interventions have a relatively robust track record of success. I think that study was really important, especially I think the message that I give people is you can do something as simple as calling a consultation and improve quality of life months later.

There’s no special thing to say, but sometimes we’re tempted to treat serious illness communication in that way, conversational judo or something, that I can maneuver around an encounter and create something new. All these studies in this fringe… We want the special key. Josh: Mm-hmm. Yeah, totally. Eric: Yeah.

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. A good prescriber, a good symptom control manager. We doctors can really just kind of specialize, kind of focus on the biological part of the job.

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. How many patients is my hospice nurse case manager responsible for on any given day? Management, it’s hard. It feels somewhat random in some ways. Are you going to see a doctor are?

But at any age, like, as Emily said, it is so important to pay attention to nutrition and healthy eating because it’s not just about, oh, chronic disease prevention or even treatment and management.

That happened to me when reading “Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World.” One is What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, which is this fabulous book by a guy named Marshall Goldsmith who’s a business consultant.

And the thought of a huge number of our patients who had really come to rely on being able to do their visits from home or from a place that was close to home and getting medications that they’ve really come to rely on for symptom management was just really kind of terrifying for us and for them. It may have come to a care manager.
