Prison populations across the United States saw a 280% rise in incarcerated seniors in this age group from 1999 to 2016, the research found. The population that is over 55 — considered geriatric inside prisons because people’s life spans are much shorter there — is nearly one-third of the prison population,” Gorlock told local news.
Our task is simple, we are going to be sampling each of these hot chicken wings while we ask Eric and Alex questions related to Palliative care and Geriatrics. So, we asked my older son, Kai, who’s 18 years old, he’s an adult, “What is Palliative care?” ” And, he said, “End of lifecare.”
You might be able to extend your life a little bit, but at what cost? So, that was maybe 20 years ago at this point and it really got me down the road thinking about advance care planning, end-of-lifecare, and similar consequences. Yep, for geriatrics? We’re available, palliative care.

Eric: And that’s similar to the 2016 JAMA paper, right? It was the first randomized palliative care trial in hematology, is the way that I think of it.
How did you get interested in end-of-lifecare, palliative care, and some of the work around dignity that you are really well known for? So when patients express a wish to die, that’s not just something that began in 2016 when legislation came into effect. Here’s a little bit. Eric: Yeah.
Robert was first asked by one of his own patients for assistance in dying in 1991, far before aid in dying was legalized in California in 2016.
