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

Because I think we have someone special, a guest host. And so, unfortunately, I think for a while, this condition, for many people, isn’t diagnosed until you end up seeing a cardiologist or a heart failure doctor who’s really honed in on this to say, actually, this is a heart failure syndrome. This is Eric Widera.

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.

We’ve invited some very special guests to talk about the lower urinary tract – Christine Kistler and Scott Bauer. . But really those urinary tract signs and symptoms should be driving your diagnosis. 50 to 70% of people who are diagnosed with UTIs probably don’t have a UTI. I hear it’s over diagnosed.

How you actually physically started doing this and built up so many followers over time and why are you doing it? And then for Hsien and for Sammy, this is a real social movement that you’re trying to… The movement upstream, getting people to consider what are the serious issues at the time of diagnosis with serious illness.

Factors such as a history of trauma (abuse, neglect, sexual assault, attachment trauma, etc), life stressors including serious physical or mental illness, and social influences that portray thinness as an ideal and promote dieting combine with an underlying genetic predisposition to contribute to development of an eating disorder.

Haider: Yeah, this is a special song. Like yourself, when I was a resident, and pain has been shaped in our mind as being a purely physical sensation, especially on the clinical side, where this idea that pain is complex and that pain is as much an emotion as much as physical sensation is not really something we are trained to do.

But most people with dementia are initially diagnosed and medically managed in primary care, and they really desire clinicians to initiate these conversations but there are a number of really important barriers for these conversations taking place. And that included scheduling a visit with a, with a facilitator who had been specially trained.

Too many people do because it’s really hard to keep their loved ones at home for the cost, the enormous financial, mental and physical strain for the family.

It’s just a trash can label—not really even a diagnosis, a made-up term that is used as psychological warfare on physicians to control us. It’s dangerous and unsustainable; emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially for the patients—and for us. Say I’m having a special. Housewives were burned out.

The other way to think about who’s eligible… I talked about coming at this from a diagnosis point of view, people with certain conditions that you need to be hospitalized for. You can broaden the scope of diagnoses. Just think about something like a nurse visit, a nursing visit, or a physical therapy visit.
