    Episode 45: Two Hats, Revisited

    Dr. Tasha Faruqui is a pediatrician. Tasha Faruqui is the mother of Soraya, a child with medical complexity who is enrolled in pediatric hospice. For many years, Tasha tried to live two separate lives, worrying about how her identities would conflict with each other. In this episode, she talks with Sarah and Dan about learning to unify herself and how that ultimately made her a better physician and parent.

    Episode 44: Nudging

    Guiding patients and families in complex, high-stakes medical decisions, can we clinicians ever be truly neutral, or are we doomed to always nudge toward our own preferences and biases? How does the architecture of the decisions we present shape the choices that others make? Sarah and Dan tackle these questions and more with three nudging experts: Dr. Aliza Olive (Cleveland Clinic), Dr. Laura Miller-Smith (OHSU), and Dr. Joanna Hart (UPenn).

    Episode 43: Sedative Intent

    When all our best attempts fail to relieve suffering, we sometimes turn to palliative sedation to the point of unconsciousness. But how do we know if and when such a drastic intervention is the right choice? Sarah and Dan chat with Justin Baker and Tyler Tate about practical and ethical approaches to communicating about and implementing sedation for pediatric patients facing refractory symptoms at the end of life.

    Episode 42: The Ethical Dilemma

    Where do ethics and palliative care overlap, and is there really no harm in doing both? Exercise your autonomy by choosing to listen to this episode, in which your beneficent hosts, Sarah and Dan, get ethical with Phoebe Winn and Bob Macauley, both palliative care physicians whose careers have also brought them to the realm of questions that sometimes just don't have answers. Thankfully, our expert guests are here to help us all understand. I mean, it would hardly be worth listening to if it were just us, right?

    Episode 39: This Marrow Space

    We're back! Where did we go and why did we pause in the first place? You'll have to listen to the episode to find out all the details, but let's just say Dan conducted an extended and very personal investigation into the intersections of palliative care and bone marrow transplant. In this episode, Sarah interviews Dan about his experience as a patient and the take-home points he's bringing back to his practice. (Apologies to Elisha Waldman for the episode title. Read his book; it's excellent.) If you'd like to sign up to be a bone marrow donor in the US, you can do so at NMDP.org.

    Episode 38: About Suffering

    "About suffering they were never wrong, / the old Masters: how well they understood / Its human position..." wrote W.H. Auden. For all that suffering seems to be central to our practice, how do we in pediatric palliative care actually stack up against Brueghel et al when it comes to understanding it, though? Dan and Sarah dig deep with guests Erica Salter, PhD, and Lauren Draper, MD to explore what suffering really means for children, families, and the clinicians who care for them.
