Eric 00:42 So on this podcast, we’re gonna be talking about what every healthcare provider should know about radiation oncology. And sort of a few years ago, we would sometimes see referrals a bit later than we would have liked. So we need to have a discussion upfront about how we’re managing the patient’s pain.

And now when I think about the clinic at Duke, when we’re really running on all cylinders, we can get ourselves up to a five, six, seven week wait for a new palliative care referral.
