Caveat as well that RCTs should not be placed on pedestal as the only answer- often patients enrolled in RCTs do not represent real world patients – observational studies do.

Whenever I take care of a patient, I see myself as a family practice doctor, but I’ve been a hospitalist, I’ve been a primary care doctor, and I’ve done palliative. But in the end, I see these as my patients and I’m trying to define what is the right model. I often say that doulas are mirrors.

A NY Times article titled Should Patients Be Allowed to Die From Anorexia ? So we’re going to be talking about palliative care for individuals with mental illness. That’s how do we treat the mental health needs of patients with serious medical illness? Oh, yeah, yeah. Good artist. Really tasteful.

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.

It could be in housing, it could be a standalone senior center, home delivered meals, nutrition counseling and nutrition education done by registered dieticians. I have 24,500 veterans on our caseload, 14,000 individuals with diagnosed mental health issue, 8,500 with an alcohol and substance abuse. To Susan’s point.

And then when you see clinically patients coming into hospital, they’ll have, you know, they’ll be admitted for aspiration pneumonia. Those are all things that could dramatically be a major health shock for an individual. And so that’s been the classic model we think of for dementia. Alex 14:28 Yeah, yeah.

Don’t get me wrong, the evidence points to cost savings, but as Chris Callahan and Kathleen Unroe pointed out in a JAGS editorial in 2020 “in comprehensive dementia care models, savings may accrue to Medicare, but the expenses accrue to a fluid and unstable network of local service providers, patients, and their families.” Care Ecosystem.

Losing Memory, and Other Things, Too Kennedy’s diagnosis led him to retire, ending a decades-long career as a software engineer at the University of Scranton.
