Guest Quotes:

16:37 “I think it’s not only just important for ourselves to be able to find a little bit of that inner peace but it’s also really important with our patient interview, because if you can’t still your mind while you’re asking the patient all their subjective information, if you can’t make that connection. You’re not going to have real good rapport with that patient. So if you can’t find that stillness in yourself…”

25:33 “You need to find some type of outlet…it’s learning how to just find some calm, find some peace, maybe start kicking in your parasympathetic nervous system for a change.”

Rapid Responses:

If you were going to walk into a patient’s room and there would be a theme song when you would walk into a patient’s room, what song would that be?

“The opening theme for Star Wars, A New Hope.”

You know you work in acute care when:

“You value your relationship with the CNAs and the environmental service employees.”

Guest Quotes:

2:24 “Even experienced clinicians also have a lot of difficulty prioritizing a lot of these patients and, and really, at least for acute care, palliative care, the nice thing is about palliative rehabilitation is one, it really helps the patient.

So it’s the right thing to do to get them where they need to be.”

4:29 “The confusing thing in acute care is the patient can be exactly the same as they were yesterday and they get quote unquote discharged from the hospital and automatically readmitted under a hospice benefit…but they elected to go on hospice, and then basically their opportunity to work with therapy was arbitrarily discontinued.”

13:17 “So palliative care really is patient centered care and goal oriented care, which we really should be doing for everyone”
