"Palliative Pearls: How Much Time Do I Have?"
About this episode
We are sometimes asked by our patients about their prognosis. How much time do they have? While we may never know the exact answer to that question, we often have an estimate. Is it helpful to share that information with the patients? Can we assume that they actually want to know? In this episode, which is the first of two part series, I will share with you how to best approach those questions so that patients get to choose the right options based on the information at hand. I also share what not to do to protect our patients' fragile state of mind.
