“Treat bad news conversations, just like you would a procedure” Palliative Care is an ER doctor’s responsibility because sometimes palliative care is an emergency In regards to code status, only offer what options you feel are medically indicated Empower surrogate decision makers to make the decision their loved one would want There are over 130 ACGME Hospice and Palliative Care Fellowships that are available if you desire further education in the subjectReferences/Resources:
