I just thought there was so much we could learn and offer from every sense, from the clinical point of view, from the family point of view, from prevention, from treatment, epidemiology, et cetera. There’s not that much information on smoking and cognition. One might argue they still are. So, that’s how I ended up there.

These are intellectually interesting but often personally devastating to the patient and family involved. This is not to mention the significant harms that we can expect to see shortly from unsafe self-induced abortions and from delays in care for nonviable pregnancies due to limitations placed on healthcare professionals.

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).

It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.

The Cruzan ruling led to a flood of interest in Advance Directives, and eventually to the Patient Self Determination Act, which mandates provision of information about advanced directives to all hospitalized patients.

And I think a big part of that journey was just having that right time, that right moment, with the right network and support groups of individuals, including my family, to really lift me up and allow me to celebrate my authentic self. If we think of discrimination, how people are treated by their biological family. Caregivers too.

So they can be referred by their primary care doctor or to us. You can choose comfort-focused care or you can choose to continue chemotherapy. In many cases, the families were the victims of the crime. Everybody has a primary care doctor, a primary care nurse, a team. They suffered from it.

And, you know, I really leaned in from my perspective as a primary care geriatrician to hearing from what my patients and their family caregivers are asking me for and asking me about, and they’re asking me about how they can prepare.

And especially for those who may have nontraditional families. I think if you’re from a nontraditional family, it’s very important to make sure that people understand who you would want to talk to. I worry, as a ex-primary care doctor, how much time I have. Bob: So I think it’s important.

There was no conversation with the patient or the family about this.

And the families were part of it, which is not what it was like in the hospital.

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. That can’t go out for specialty care all the time, like pain management. That’s a big question.

How did you get interested in palliative care research and the stuff that you’re doing right now? I was always critical care bound since medical school.
