#hapc call today, 6 new consults:
Avg pt age= 84
Avg # serious dx= 4
Most common dx: ES CHF, no tx option; ES Ca, no tx option; ES COPD, no tx option
Reason for consult: "Need you to talk about goals and EOL"

Me: So, have you started the convo?
Avg response: "Umm, not really"
1/ #medtwitter It's not easy to discuss late stage dx & end of life issues, but it's crucial. Patients & families deserve clear, honest, empathic info. We all need to know how to *at least* start the conversation. #PalliativeCare teams can help coach, or look for other resources
