I care deeply about each and every one of my patients, and I do not want a difference in opinion to create a wedge in our relationship. A patient must have the autonomy to choose whether in their individual situation, the potential benefits outweigh the potential harms.

Jerry: Probably for the reason a lot of people go into geriatrics, close relationship with grandparents, volunteered to work in a nursing home as a high school student, just felt really good about being around old people and not having a problem with it.

I feel like geriatricians have a, maybe it’s more of a hate/hate relationship with NSAIDs right now. Ruining the patient doctor relationship because you get into a fight about what anti-coagulants should be on. Eric: Or another good example is like for individuals with dementia. Eric: So NSAIDs is a good example of this.

Despite these substantial needs, specialized palliative care beyond hospice is rare in nursing homes. Furthermore, only about half of nursing home residents nearing the end of life receive hospice care. So, how can we improve palliative care for individuals in nursing homes? Almost all of them have hospice contracts.
