We really had no idea t what to expect when we started there.
You know, we were doing a lot of planning behind the scenes.
And then eventually we sort of Jane Delema Thomas, our clinical chief, and I kind of said, Look, we just need to get in there.
So one of our fellows, Sam Galfand and I just started.
We said, We don't know what we're gonna do yet, but we're gonna embed ourselves.
We're gonna start talking to the teams and and start seeing patients and how we can help.
We're doing primarily goals of care, some end of life symptom management, but I would say ninety percent of our consults at this point are for assistance with goals of care.
And it and it's tough.
I mean, I think there are sort of COVID related communication challenges and also sort of clinical challenges, you know, communication.

We can't really see the patients.

So all of that makes it
makes it really tough.
