Description
In this week's GeriPal podcast, we talk with Jessie Merlin, Palliative Care Faculty at the University of Pittsburgh, who is addressing another important aspect of this issue: the role of palliative care in chronic pain. We disucss issues such as: - Do outpatient palliative care providers see patients with chronic pain currently? (please take this survey to help Jessie figure this out!) - Should palliative care fellowship training include management of chronic pain? - Is there really a distinction between "cancer pain" and "non-cancer pain?" - To what extent is or should prognosis be a factor in determining treatment of pain? - Everybody Hurts by REM (and a hack rendition)
