The Integrative Palliative Podcast

"She's a fighter"
"We don't want her to give up"
"Mr. Amos is comfort care now"

Are these helpful words for families facing serious illness? Not so helpful? Should you avoid the words "death" and "dying" when talking to families? 

Words matter. And when caring for palliative patients with cancer, heart disease and other life-limiting conditions, words matter a lot.

This week I'll give 6 examples of words or phrases that require a thoughtful approach an might be tripping you up.

Please tell a colleague about this podcast!

"Can I put coffee in my loved one's feeding tube?" "My dad won't eat and I don't know what to do" "She says food doesn't taste right anymore - what's going on??"

We associate food with love so it can be very tough on a family when their seriously ill loved one can't, or doesn't want to, eat.

This week I'll answer common questions about food and feeding for people with serious illness.

Patients, families, physicians and other clinicians are afraid of the "H word." Hospice got a bad rap and clinicians seem to get tongue tied when it is time to talk about it. But it doesn't have to be scary or depressing and it definitely shouldn't be seen as shameful or hope-stealing.

In today's episode of The Integrative Palliative Podcast you will learn to speak confidently about hospice to your patients with serious illness so that it becomes a service that they want rather than a conversation that they (and you) dread.

Thanks for listening!

One of the hardest things about being a physician, or other healthcare provider, is when we try our best to take great care of our patients but an adverse event happens anyway. We may not have a plan for managing the unpleasant feelings that show up and we may just try to power through. This is not the best approach.

Listen to "When Bad Outcomes Happen to Good Doctors" to discover 6 steps that can help you cope successfully when things don't go as planned. This is not about who you should tell or what you should say. This is about how to take care of you!

Thanks for listening! Please leave a review and forward this episode to a colleague who needs to hear it.

We are physicians but we're also humans. Because we're humans our "buttons" can get pushed by our encounters with patients and this can impact our clinical care, our rapport and even our mood. We may not even realize that this is happening!

We can heal our patients (and ourselves) even when cure is not an option. If you'd like a free guide to help you incorporate integrative palliative approaches into your practice sign up at www.tiipm.org.

Positive thinking is good, right? Well... sometimes. A regular gratitude ritual can help improve mood and wellbeing but imposing positivity on another person (or even on ourselves) can make people feel alone in their pain. In this episode we'll discuss the difference between gratitude and toxic positivity and share practical techniques to get the most out of positive thinking. Once you practice these techniques yourself, you will find yourself using them with your patients every week!
