I asked emergency medicine clinicians what they thought when a patient who is seriously ill and DNR comes to the ED, and some responded, (paraphrasing), what are they doing here?

Jasmine: It’s an imaginative love story that deconstructs age through an intergenerational friend relationship.

Eric 03:25 So we have a lot to talk about, but I’m wondering if we can kind of take a big step back and just talk about the patient population that’s in nursing homes. Connie 06:18 So, I’ve been a clinician working in the nursing home since back in the 80s, and I saw a lot of patients that really needed palliative care.
