And it's a way of getting around the hard conversations.
And so, yes, there are some studies that show that there's goal-concordance here, but not strong data.
And there are equally studies that would scare me more is people who have a pulse, who have no idea that they filled it in, have no idea what's on it, or would disagree with what's on it.
And I think the challenge...
with POLST or MOLST or EMOLST is we have absolutely no understanding of the quality of the conversation that went into it.
We have really good data, some from you guys, that demonstrates that we know these conversations are not ideally what we would want to be from the average professional, and now these are medical workers.
not just a suggestion.
And for a medical order that says, I don't want to be in the ICU or I don't want to be on a ventilator in the midst of a COVID epidemic where I am potentially facing a shortage of ICU beds and a shortage of ventilators and somebody who needs me in the next bed, you don't think I'm going to just take that and run with it?
See, but I would disagree with that, Eric, because I think our responsibility is to really push for that new system.
And it may be small steps that we're not helping our patients and our families by continuing something that we know really doesn't work and doesn't work for most of them.
And so let's tackle the big problem.
Somebody said to me back when I first got my PDIA Soros Award, you know, palliative care is never going to take off, you know.
It's too big a problem.
Well, it worked pretty well, you know, and it disseminated.
I don't think the problem is too big to fix.
We have to fix it.
If we don't fix it, you know, by the time the baby brewers hit Medicare, we're in big.
So we've got to fix it.
I don't think it's too hard to fix.
It is always a pleasure to talk to you guys.
