the kind of historical surgical mantra of you're killing my patient, actually what we find is that better end of life care, you know, as we found in other fields, does not equate with higher mortality.
So we're pretty excited about that because we hope that that'll help move the field forward.
I I guess one other thing I would say is that we're not, you know, I I think that a lot of the
A lot of the stereotypes persist and we're we're surgeons really care about their patients.
Um and I think that particularly within the palliative care community, this kind of bogey of 30-day mortality, which I know is particularly relevant in fields like CT surgery and transplant.
um has really kind of clouded um opportunities, I think, for collaboration and understanding between the two fields.
Um, you know, we really do care about our patients and sometimes it's in a way that can be um, you know, not patient centered.
Um, but I I don't think it comes from the wrong place in most cases.
And so I I would really urge um folks in in geriatrics and palliative care to really look for opportunities to collaborate with surgeons.
Um and I am happy to, you know, help or discuss that with with any anybody in the audience.
yeah.
So I think aside from kind of recognizing stereotypes, I think it's also recognizing
Um
Gaps in knowledge.
Um and areas where palliative care can be particularly helpful.
And so I personally think the larger challenge to palliative care as a field right now is to really better understand how it can be relevant or most relevant to um patients outside of cancer.
Um and I think that this um, you know.
uh syndrome of sudden advanced illness is is really an important one for the palliative care community uh to embrace.
uh and to figure out how to um provide the best possible care to our patients who find themselves in that situation.
And I think that, you know, trauma surgeons, emergency medic medicine physicians and intensivists are perfect folks to partner with to to really examine that.
