Often the work of the certified driving rehab specialist is to assess the older drivers goals, assess prognosis for driving, and help the family navigate discussions around driving cessation (hmmm…sounds like an approach to family meetings). Love to talk about also in the serious illness population. Eric: Yeah. Eric: Yeah.

Two of our guests today, Stacy Fischer and Brian Anderson, are involved in large multicenter trials of psychedelics for patients with advanced cancer (Fischer) or life-limiting illness (Anderson). And some people in studies and just in clinical use have found that to be helpful, including for patients with serious illness.

Alex 00:30 And we are also delighted to welcome Eloise Theisen, who’s a palliative care nurse practitioner at Stanford and CEO and co- c ounder of Radical Health Clinician Network, which helps patients use cannabis to treat chronic and age related illness. And you could say the same thing about insurance companies.

But now we have older people dying of older people illnesses. Alex: And are the regulations similar or different in terms of six month required prognosis or less, should the disease take its usual course, or illnesses leading to a short prognosis? In many cases, the families were the victims of the crime. Eric: Mm-hmm.

Prior podcasts on the ethics of nudging , and a different trial conducted by Kate and Scott in which the default for hospitalized seriously ill patients was to receive a palliative care consult.

We’ve invited two death doulas, Jane Euler and John Loughnane (who is also a family doc and palliative care physician), to talk about the role of a doula at the end of life. He looked very ill. John: I am what I am, which is a family practice doctor. I’m unsure what they do, how often they’re used, and who pays for their work.

nursing homes grapple with serious illnesses, and roughly half experience dementia. Kathleen 03:47 I think any of us who’ve spent any time in nursing homes have spent time working in a nursing home setting, have visited, had family members in nursing homes and looked around and seen the population there.

We cover a wide range on this topic, weaving in our own stories of loss with Thomas’s experiences, stories, and poems from years of caring for families after their loved one’s have died. And this seems very basic, but try it with your insurance agent or your pastor, you know, or your banker at 03:00 in the morning.

And I was interviewing candidates for our clinical fellowship and interviewed Alexis, who had been like family medicine doc before, done all kinds of cool things. Maybe the alternative of the patient whose family hopes for a miracle in the face of certain death, for only that death to occur as anticipated by all. Ricky 11:23 Yeah.

Patients families want to know whether their loved one has died. Insurance companies. Healthcare provide. Healthcare companies. And one would be when care is continuing a case where people believe that the patients died, or oftentimes, this is also a source of controversy between families and clinicians.
