However, lack of physical presence may make this contender struggle to land the emotional support punch that is at the very heart of palliative care.

One bump is just the classic pitfalls we often talk about in serious illness communication: being very jargony, very information focused, and just providing information.

And I also worry about this push towards just amyloid blood testing so as a way of diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease without doing the workup that’s needed beforehand.
