Leah and Andy... that was just a lovely bite sized morsel for us to chew on this morning. I love your paper. I appreciate your time with us. Thank you.

Toby and Clara. Just wow! That was stellar and so valuable. Sometimes Palliative Medicine (or any specialty for that matter) can get into an echo chamber when we have an audience and guest speaker all sharing the same training... and today having a transplant hematologist and nephrologist join us was VERY valuable and helps us to see our own blinds spots that we struggle to acknowledge. It means a lot that you joined us today. Thank you both.

good idea!

She's absolutely correct about everyone being on a different page. Hopefully, with some time that improves. Thankfully, the most important team members are very good.

Yoni and Jen. Wonderful sage wisdom today. Thank you for the exploration on healing.

I want to get past the immense anger I feel.

Amazing information. Thank you!

Lou. That was just wonderful! From my perspective, there is so much mystery around these topics and you dissipated the obfuscation. Thank you.

Amy. We are so impressed by the wealth of your knowledge and experience on this topic. Thank you for a wonderful presentation and answering our questions. Admittedly, before your paper I understood very little about this topic, and your time with us has meant a lot. We wish you all the best on your third upcoming publication and your ongoing work. Cheers!

Michelle and David. Thank you for this enlightening conversation about the limited evidence we are working with when it comes to Octreotide and other Palliative Management of malignant bowel obstructions. We appreciate your time, your papers from 2015 and 2024, and your expertise.

Cathy, thank you for all you have done and do...it is obvious that you are passionate about helping patients with IPF.

Andy. What a pleasure to have you back and to hear your insights on this large and complex topic. And a big thank you to CAPC (Center to Advance Palliative Care) for collaborating with us on this episode.

I appreciate your perspective here. Long time peds palliative care SW here, (and shout out to Kenyon! Class of 80... your liberal arts education is showing to good effect). And this topic just came up in a recent training our EPEC-Peds group was conducting, and the question of moral conflict when admin prohibits disclosure, and ethical imperative to tell the truth or acknowledge error experienced by the clinician. Moral injury can result. Consequences of barriers to this seeking of, or offering of forgiveness perhaps?

Charles. Thank you ever so much. It was a pleasure interviewing a fellow introvert. We thank you for your career and sharing your wisdom.

Aldis. Thank you for your time and your depth of knowledge on this complex subject of forgiveness. We are grateful to have run into you. Good luck next year in your internship!

I think this is important information. Not enough out there. Thank you.

Im on methadone ive gotten myself down to 40 mg from 100mg in a month and now im trying to figure out how to safely switch to Suboxone. Unfortunately i live in DE and many clinics and physicians wont even take me until im on 30-40 mg and i have to be off for over 72 hours and unfortunately i have sooo many responsibilities along with a busy career i cant just withdraw for days ugh 😢

Holy shit yall are some smart men!

Cal. What a pleasure! Thank you for helping us appreciate the state of the literature and reinforcing how massage therapy can provide an level of expertise with a profound impact on therapeutic presence.

Michelle and Kristen. Thank you for your time and your expertise today to help us better understand how everyone's communication can impact these delicate times.

Dr Sarah Hull… thank you so very much for sharing your perceptive on the ethics of LVAD (and other life sustaining medical interventions) deactivation. We really valued your time and expertise today.

Janice. Thank you so very much for your time with us today. This was eye opening. The take-aways are that: Occupational therapists support participation in occupation (meaningful activity) across the lifespan. Many assume participation only equates to performance and dismiss occupational therapy for people who are dying and do not have rehab potential. But OT works across a range, from remediating lost function to accepting loss and modifying/adapting a person's occupations, to make the most of where the person is, support their engagement in living, and help them cultivate meaning and connection. OT and PC have so many opportunities to collaborate together.

I trained with a physician, who made it a point to visit many of the surrounding rural communities so that when he would ask his patients where they were from, he would have a story unique to each of those communities that he could share that would help him earn a connection right from the start of the encounter. Self-disclosure in action.

Katherine. It is always a pleasure having you with us! Thank you so very much for your wonderful paper, your time, and sharing your experiences. We are all the better for it.

Thank you

A question from an outstanding hospital chaplain colleague: “…Is medicine a series of mechanical actions that the practitioner performs on the patient, or is medicine a mutual path of healing where both the practitioner and the patient have to invest themselves?…”. How can we not be human and cross some boundaries in medicine, so long as we are thoughtful and intentional in that process.

Joelle and Holland. What a pleasure! Thank you for talking about such an important topic and so that we can name it out loud and recognize our own biases in these situations.

Additional food for thought: “… we are not advocating for self-disclosure to become a routine part of the communication toolbox. Rather, we see self-disclosures as inevitable. Some individuals are inclined to make more elective disclosures than others, and of course, patients/families often ask us for personal information (and if we summarily shut these bids for connection down, the therapeutic relationship may end before it begins). So rather than setting an unrealistic goal of never self-disclosing, to us it is more realistic to provide clinicians with a way to think about self-disclosures in order to minimize harm (which may include deciding not to self-disclose) and, when possible, actually promote treatment goals…”
