But wait, before you throw out that equianalgesic table, we also invited Dr. Mary Lynn McPherson, PharmD extraordinaire who published this amazing book, Demystifying Opioid Conversions , 2nd Ed., Until the second edition of my book, that is. Drew: She updated an equianalgesic table and published that in the second edition of her book.
She has authored five books including the popular Demystifying Opioid Conversion Calculations: A Guide to Effective Dosing and numerous peer-reviewed articles and chapters.

While on leave I read Chelsea Pottinger’s book titled ‘ The Mindful High Performer’. What drew me to this book was the honesty in which she told her own personal story through postnatal depression and her admission into a psychiatric facility. She has since founded EQ Minds and works as a corporate wellness presenter and coach.
Yet, for the last twenty years of journal articles, books, national presentations, and local presentations that I’m aware of, this is not splattered in flashing neon ALL CAPS at the top of every table. However, that book is not for generalists, they aren’t reading it and we can’t expect them to read it.
She has presented at regional and national meetings on a variety of topics related to serious and advanced illness as well as operation of community-based programs and has served on the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM) Task Force for Quality, and on the Home-Based Workgroup for the Center to Advance Palliative Care.
By the new one, they mean the one created by Dr. Mary Lynn McPherson, PharmD in her landmark book Demystifying Opioid Conversions , 2nd Ed. If you haven’t read the book, please do, it’s really one of the best things ever written about opioid conversions. From here, I’ll refer to the tables as ‘Classic’ and ‘DOC2’.)

Some people have communication boards or books. She is an experienced RN, having worked in many fields but mostly: palliative care, rehab and emergency. Good question!
A too late early Christmas Present – by James Jap – 25 minutes. I had seen some electronic notepads in one of those stores that used to sell books, I think people in the past called them bookstores. I presented the electronic notepad as an early Christmas present to my patient, and showed her how to use it.

Now I think about it that I didn’t understand in home care as a medical professional, I got one paragraph in one book in my third year of OT school about how I might be able to come become a home health therapist, but nothing about in home care. Not one time it breaks my heart. And my mentors didn’t refer in home care.

Summary Transcript CME Summary I was very proud to use the word apotheosis on todays podcast. See if you can pick out the moment. I say something like, Palliative care is, in many ways, the apotheosis of great palliative care. And I believe that to be true. Today we talk with Naheed Dosani, a palliative care physician at St. Homelessness?
Summary Transcript Summary Often podcasts meet clinical reality. That’s why we do this podcast- to address real world issues in palliative care, geriatrics, and bioethics. But rarely does the podcast and clinical reality meet in the same day. Lynn Flint, author of the NEJM perspective titled, “Rehabbed to Death,” joins Eric and I as co-host.

David is a physician who wrote the book “ Stoned: A Doctor’s Case for Medical Marijuana ” and gave a TED talk on “ A Doctor’s Case for Medical Marijuana ” that was watched over 3 million times. And, David, I’m going to start off with you because you wrote an entire book about this. This is Eric Widera.
Though his narrow definition of suffering as injured or threatened personhood has been critiqued , the central concept was a motivating force for many of us to enter the fields of geriatrics and palliative care, Eric and I included. Today we talk about suffering in the many forms we encounter in palliative care. Wallace, C.L., in preparation).
On today’s podcast, we’ve invited Alex Gamble and Brianna Williamson to talk to us about anxiety.

Tim 35:35 No, I would go a little, a little further, you know, and maybe kind of take a page from Joe’s book when Joe said, you know, what does a good day look like for you? Yael 44:20 I would say for AGS 2025, because I’m going to be giving a presentation with a colleague about that specific issue. Thanks for having me.
– Anticipatory corpse book mentioned several times on the podcast. And again, to step back and look at the bigger picture, there’s a book that I wrote, or I didn’t write it, goodness, I read it in my intern year, by Jeff Bishop. And when I read that book my intern year, it possessed me. Josh: I do.
Our focus today, however, was on her most recently published book titled How to Say Goodby e. This beautiful book began as a very personal project for Wendy while she was the artist-in-residence at Zen Hospice. You may know Wendy as the talented artist behind Meanwhile in San Francisco or Salt Fat Acid Heat. She has a TED talk.
How does the geriatric assessment lead to improved completion of advance directives, when the assessment doesn’t address advance care planning/directives at all? How does palliative care fit into all this? Precision medicine? What groups are being left out of trials? Welcome to GeriPal, John. John: Thank you. Alex: Terrific.
Mariah 15:00 In books and literature that’s out in public, like the body keeps the score is probably one that many people have heard of, but there are others that I think talk about it more now than has been in the past. Alex 00:03 This is Alex Smith. Eric 00:04 And Alex, we have somebody in the room with us. Alex 00:07 We do.
For more, Laura suggests a book titled, How to Talk to a Science Denier.

Key ingredients are both potentially unsafe and low evidence. Adam 00:41 Thanks for having me.
Guidry also recently published a book to help guide doctors who are considering a career in hospice and palliative care called “Dr. That’s why I wrote this book because there are people like me who are just interested in hospice but need a framework of what to do.

Morhaim has authored two books on end-of-life care and the decisions associated with it: The Better End: Surviving (and Dying) on Your Own Terms in Today’s Modern Medical World and Preparing for a Better End: Expert Lessons on Death and Dying for You and Your Loved Ones. That’s hard to do.

Heather: Sure.
Now’s the time to make sure your entire book of business isn’t tied to one source. Palliative care, pediatric end-of-life care and end-of-life doula (EOLD) services are top of mind for hospices that are diversifying their services in 2024. But the aim of their service diversification efforts may indicate future trends. But it goes both ways.
But I do think POLST, which I conceptualize as an advance care planning tool, really sits in between those worlds of decisions that are relevant for the present versus the few future. Susan: Thanks so much, Alex. Alex: And we have returning, Bob Arnold, who is a palliative care doctor at the University of Pittsburgh. Welcome back, Bob.
This is the subject of Connelly’s recent book, The Journey’s End: An Investigation of Death & Dying in America.

And so in that way, it’s not the letterhead or the four walls and the roof that are perpetuating the present, it’s the people. Alex 00:15 We are delighted to welcome Jane deLima Thomas, who was a co-fellow with me back in the day in palliative care. Jane, welcome to the GeriPal podcast. Jane, welcome to the GeriPal podcast.
I first met Thomas when he visited UC Berkeley in the late 90’s after publishing his book, “ The Undertaking: Stories from the Dismal Trade.” He is the author of six collections of poems and six books of essays, and he has a book of short stories and a novel forthcoming. This emergent reality that someone we love has just died.
You’ve written in a lot of places, including your own books. I felt like I was always told to present people with a buffet of options and, really, without guidance, ask them to choose, which is, it would always make me feel sick to my stomach. Welcome to the GeriPal podcast. Jacky: Thank you. It’s a pleasure. Bob: The fish.
You’ve all read Louise Aronson’s book. Jerry: Yeah, the quote I had from her book in my paper, and I don’t know, I’m scared to even refer to it at this point. And of course those high rates of burnout and exhaustion are present across medical specialties. Eric: What’s the quote? Do you have it?
So take a listen and if you are interested in learning more, check out these wonderful links: Harvey’s latest book is called, Dignity in Care: The Human Side of Medicine Intensive Caring: Reminding Patients They Matter Michael J.

Because our division of geriatrics has such expertise in secondary data analysis and how their retirement studies, can set me off on this task to go read the code books in HRS. No, I mean, I think I had the initial feeling or thought about this being present after I learned about it and were thoughtful with senior mentors about it.
And so the key there is, of course these were prospectively measured where patients were called every month from 1998 through actually the present day among those who are still alive. And I really want to encourage people to … Wes Ely writes beautifully about that in his book. That will be the last one in his life. Eric: Yeah.

Being present for the deaths of my father and a dear friend early in my residency deeply impacted who I became as a doctor and as a person. Years later, when I was a geriatric fellow, he gave me another gift by asking me to review James Hallenbeck’s remarkable book Palliative Care Perspectives for the Journal of Palliative Medicine.
These realizations led Barbara to sit down and write, gone from my site, the little blue book that has changed the hospice industry. We love this book, especially me, I like to show off my copy. I, I think people are a lot more open to that idea of somebody who’s not healthcare affiliated being present.
