I love my Plastic Surgery residency family! I had never rotated in it when I was a medical student, so it was kind of cool being behind the curtain.

I was on a retreat with Guy Micco , who’s been on this podcast several times, and he was teaching a class on death while I was in medical school. What is it about the images of the dying that helps teach medical students? And dying is too big, too profound for any one model, including the medical model. That was it.

I came from a family where you didn’t write things down, somebody could find them and hold you to them or all of that kind of stuff. There’s a little paranoia in the family for good reason.

So I don’t know how clinically meaningful that week difference was to families. And it’s a lot easier to calculate prognosis likely from, you know, the labs and the medical record than it is to, like, get patients to stomp onto a survey about quality of life. Here’s what I really want to know. Is that fair to say?

You’d imagine though that our professional expertise and experiences in helping patients and families cope with loss and grief would be helpful in managing our own personal losses. And so we just designed a couple of workshops to train some facilitators. Turns out, it’s maybe not. Welcome back to the GeriPal podcast, Craig.
