Eric: I’m looking forward to talking about art and humor in palliative care and we’re caring for seriously ill patients. And a doc over in Spain named Monica Lalanda, who is an ER doc and also a cartoonist, reached out to me and said you don’t have to do this anonymously. Welcome to the GeriPal podcast, Nathan.
