Thank you for having us today.
You're the only one who remembers that, Eric.
Something like, as rare and endangered as an okapi.
I'm not sure it's an antelope, but it's a strange animal that I have never seen before and probably will never see again, even in photos.
Well, in the spirit of trying to ensure that all of our older patients are allowed to eat the way they want to, we chose the song Eat It.
right, exactly.
Yeah, I feel the same way.
I think that most of the time it feels like a little different conversation.
You're talking about what would happen in an emergency and then you have to say, and would you want artificial nutrition?
And even the patient kind of says, well, that doesn't have to happen right in the emergency, does it?
So it's, you know, I think everybody kind of realizes that.
And just, I mean, you guys see so many older adults just like I do.
And it's just really clear that for the most part, a lot of people don't want them.
So that's, you know, a pretty easy decision.
But in most situations, it doesn't help.
You know, there's just lots of research to show that particularly for dementia, it doesn't do any, it doesn't provide any benefit whatsoever.
But even for things like, you know, stroke, Alex had that nice article not too long ago.
showing that even for things where we maybe thought there could be some effectiveness, there really isn't.
So a lot of the times you want to be able to have the conversation and get the pulse form filled out when somebody can still help make that decision, which could be a number of years before they die or before they get into that kind of window of last one to two years of life.
And so when I'm talking with patients who might have mild cognitive impairment or early dementia, I have the full conversation around, you know, what would your wishes be?
