Often when there’s a cognitive concern, it’s a family member that is calling saying, “I just want to make sure my mom should still be driving after this happened, or after this diagnosis.” Because how that is approached can have lasting effects on relationships, unfortunately. Eric: Yeah.

An end-of-life doula is a non-medical support person that provides a longitudinal relationship with aspects of medical, I mean, aspects of companionship, presence, holding space, some logistics, some practical help, decision making perhaps. Well, I’d agree, John, for palliative care ideally starts around the time of diagnosis.

Panelists Katie Fitzgerald Jones and Jessica Merlin have no relationships to disclose. 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.

There is a lot to digest with these draft clinical guidelines but the big change from the 2018 guideline is moving Alzheimers to a biological diagnosis (biomarker evidence only) not just for a research framework but now from a clinical one. That’s going to whole groups of people excluded from formal diagnosis. Eric: PET scans.

What happened is we’re in the serious illness care business and so we were busy rolling out our serious illness conversations at Mass General and we were getting resistance, which we expected from oncology and primary care, but then we started getting resistance from the geriatricians.

Alex 16:55 My guess is probably not something that most geriatricians or internists or family medicine docs caring for older people have on their differential diagnosis. Is a new diagnosis of HIV.
