"Listening is only powerful and effective if it is authentic. And authenticity means you are listening because you are curious and you care- not just because you are supposed to."

It's about listening to understand- not to tell.
Not to prepare the next thing you will say.
We are trained that knowing the "right answer" = good doctor. There's much more to it than that.

Beautiful nod to William Carlos Williams poem "The Red Wheelbarrow"
Uncertainty is hard for the medical team.
It is hard for families.
What is the right thing?

"Other clinicians have used uncertainty as a reason to NOT include palliative care...with time, they have learned that #pedpc #hapc is a perfect fit for leaning into uncertainty and supporting families for 'what ifs'". @jennilinebarger #CincyKidsPGR

"Denial is not a response to the facts. It is a response to the feeling that the facts evoke."
WHOA Jenni!
Pointing to- telling the family bad news again isn't necessary. They know. They hear you.
They can hold hope AND realism.

This is important. The answer to "Oh how do you DO THAT?" (peds pal care):
The #hapc team cares for each other. Intentionally. Compassionately. It's baked in.
We see patients together. We debrief.
It's baked in.
