As she said, when you think about the hardest patients you’ve cared for, in nearly all cases there was some aspect of psychological illness involved. Des delivered a plenary at this year’s National Palliative Care Research Center’s Foley retreat. That rings true to me. All hands go up. All hands go down. Des: Thank you so much.

We talk about what is heart failure, particularly HFpEF, how we treat it (including the use of sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2’s), and how we should apply guidelines to individual patients, especially those with multimorbidity who are taking a lot of other medications.

Give too much, it may cause harm (even if the higher dose had no significant side effects, it would require patients to take a lot of unnecessary additional pills as well as increase the cost.) So, what is the effective dose of palliative care? Give too little – it may not work. Jennifer 04:25 I can take that on. Eric 05:32 Yeah.

We see our patients and our families throughout the illness trajectory into the hospital. And maybe we should have more patient-centered conversations. It’s hard for your family to know.

Only 5% of intervention patients received the facilitator-led component of the intervention (there were other components, facilitator-led was the most engaged component).

In our city of Victoria, for instance, many people do not have a family doctor because so many doctors have retired; those who are left are unable to take new patients because their lists are full. This would present a valuable opportunity for doctors and their families to learn French. Canada fits Americans comfortably.
