Arguing for the state of Missouri against the Cruzan’s was Ken Starr, who would later be assigned the role of special prosecutor in the investigation of the Clintons (Whitewater, Lewensky, etc). ICU care was pretty rudimentary. The hospital refused without a court order, and the case eventually made its way to the Supreme Court.

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 that family was not necessarily a trusted network.

There was no conversation with the patient or the family about this. And so my first introduction to the field came with my first job in 1982, when I went to the Cambridge Hospital to do primary care and internal medicine.

Kate’s journey is in a way emblematic of the lack of centralized funding for palliative care: she’s received funding from three separate NIH institutes, the NPCRC, and been involved in the PCRC.
