Committee Opinion #786 - Published September 2019 This is a different format from my own. This is a very heartfelt presentation on my part on the importance of incorporating principles of palliative care into our care of pregnant patients. We'll cover: - traditional versus palliative approach to managing complete prenatal diagnoses - a protocol for delivering bad news - the importance of establishing a patient's goals in order to help guide decision-making around birth - labor and delivery planning to accommodate a family's goals for their newborn (even if this means opting for a comfort-focused approach) - Nathan gets emotional ( and had to keep re-recording segments) -...and more! Shout-outs: - On Death and Dying by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross - Slow Medicine by Victoria Sweet, MD - Vital Talks on Twitter (learn how to communicate better with patients) - Nora McInerny's TED Talk on griefSHOW NOTES This episode pairs nicely with the 2016 Stephanie's Couvée Pinot Noir from River Road. Main theme music still by my main amigo, Evan Handyside
