We’ve invited two palliative care doctors to talk about survivorship with us: Laura Petrillo , a physician-researcher at Mass General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, and Laura Shoemaker , an outpatient palliative care doctor at the Cleveland Clinic. I was there and at University Hospitals, had a great visit.

Palliative care, in contrast, saw explosive growth in US hospitals. In contrast to geriatrics, the evidence base for palliative care lagged clinical growth, in part because palliative care has no centralized “home” at the National Institutes of Health. By diagnosis? I do tend to focus in the hospital setting.

Joel: The Brigham and Women’s Hospital likes me to say that too. Alex: And the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. And she was rushed to the hospital. And they agreed on that and they talked to the people at the hospital, the surgeons and the nurses. They stayed in the hospital for longer. Joel: Oh yeah.

As you know, our population is aging at a rapid speed and older, adult older persons is no longer cared for only by a geriatrician or a primary care physician.

Alex: She’s also associate professor at Massachusetts General Hospital in Harvard Medical School. She was a prior guest with Rachelle Bernacki on our most listened to podcast of 2022, Should We Shift from Advanced Care Planning to Serious Illness Conversations?

So they can be referred by their primary care doctor or to us. You can choose comfort-focused care or you can choose to continue chemotherapy. When they built a new prison hospital in Stockton, the dialysis went there. Everybody has a primary care doctor, a primary care nurse, a team.

Our field really lacks specificity in the terms that we use, and I think we really don’t know how chronic cancer pain, let’s say, a few years out from that initial diagnosis differs from, let’s say, chronic low back pain. Most oncologists would say no. When you do-do it, who is responsible for the buprenorphine?

And the actors were blinded to whether this was a primary care doctor or a chat bot answering them. And what I want to do is, this is a tough task for you, I’m sure, but I have a patient with a new diagnosis of cancer, and it’s actually a 35-year-old woman.

Today we talk with Margot Kushel about how we got here, including: That sense of powerlessness as a clinician when you “fix up” a patient in the hospital, only to discharge them to the street knowing things will fall apart. It was in the mid-nineties, and about half of the patients that we cared for in the inpatient service were homeless.
