Many links: VA Presents: My Life, My Story: George: A Voice To Be Heard on Apple Podcasts. So those questions we ask when we’re doing a palliative care consult. So I allow family members to be present if they want them to. Wonderful work. Every Veteran has a story. Our mission is to help them tell it. That’s fine.

So those questions we ask when we’re doing a palliative care consult. So I allow family members to be present if they want them to. I’m trying to get upstream people who don’t have palliative care consult because I think we do capture narratives in our palliative care notes. That’s fine.

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. Alex 10:52 And did you have algorithms you’d present to them, like given this patient’s circumstance, these are recommendations?

Eric 13:00 I also love that too, because even on our inpatient ballot of care consult service, whenever somebody says that they’re unrepresented or they don’t have a surrogate, we never believe that until we usually look up. Decision making hierarchies by default.

Years and years ago, the first few years as an attending physician, I was consulted to take care of a gentleman with metastatic esophageal cancer. For this weekly treatment, the cancer team that had been consulted in the hospital told him this is nonsense. So I’m going to present a case. And this is one of those examples.

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. So this, I think we had three or four consults. They were all struggling from really different places with very different things.

Eric 04:39 Yeah, I see it used on inpatient, side on consult clinics in hospices. We started a clinic here in 2008 at the VA, and what we found was that, you know, our median time from consult to death before we started clinic was like 18 days, somewhere around there, like somewhere around two weeks. Eric 10:44 No, all consults.
