When all of this infrastructure was created, people developed a serious illness and they died.
It's fascinating when you look at time from diagnosis to death, cancer, COPD, heart disease, stroke, it stays virtually unchanged.
from the 40s and 50s, all the way through into the early 90s, that that time for diagnosis to death really doesn't budge.
And so we've built up this entire healthcare system that can't meet the needs of a population that is now living with multiple chronic conditions, serious illness.
And there's a tremendous mismatch.
And it's not just a physician mismatch.
It's the difference between medical care and healthcare.
We've got a healthcare mismatch.
And what I would argue is we need a new Flexster report, which is not...
driven at protecting the specialty, but much more driven at what does the population of people living with serious illness who we as palliative care clinicians care for, we as geriatricians care for, we as primary care docs care for, and what is the system that's going to support that care that we provide because our population is different and the diseases we see are different.
And the interactions of those diseases are different.
The same way that the diseases we saw before public health and infection control came into practice.
We made that adjustment.
I think now is the time that we need to make a similar adjustment so that our healthcare system is a better match for the population it's caring for.
It was a great match for the population in the 1960s.
It was a pretty good match in the 50s.
It was not so bad in the 70s.
It's pretty lousy now.
Yeah, I mean, I think so.
And I think the challenge with PULSE and the studies that are starting to come out around this is that PULSE is filled out by physicians or other healthcare professionals who can issue medical orders, medical orders for life-sustaining treatment.
