Eric: But before we jump into talking to your patients about driving retirement cessation, let’s talk about what is the role of the healthcare professional in this at all?

And in my medical training, becoming a primary care doctor, I realized that older adults, women and men were having a lot of these same symptoms. I appreciate that information.

We all, when bombarded with information have to take certain elements of a decision and focus on those; and in the ICU, you can imagine, we’re bombarded with information a lot.

They need, they need some, a little bit of information and probably a little more than that, what we like to call an edge.

I am wondering whether it’s the conversations and preparation that’s primary care providers and outpatient providers are having with a lot of these patients and families to either prevent an ICU admission or potentially address their goals, such that they don’t go into the ICU.
