Episode 9: Surrogate Decision Making and Palliative Medicine

Welcome back! For today's episode, Grace sits down with Dr. Erin Kelly, a fellow in Palliative and Hospice Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University, to discuss surrogate decision making - what it is, how does it affect patient care, and how do doctors and surrogate decision makers work together to make the best decisions for patients when they can't communicate their desires themselves. We also finish the episode with a fantastic discussion about Palliative Medicine and why you should keep it on your radar if you're a medical student deciding on what specialty to go into. We hope you enjoy this episode! (And please excuse any recording errors!)
