Welcome to Palliatively Speaking, a podcast where we explore insights from the brightest minds in the field of palliative care.
I’m talking to the people who routinely navigate life’s hardest conversations. Together, we examine our experts’ knowledge about culture, medicine, communication, and what it means to truly live—and die—well. The lessons they have learned echo far beyond hospital walls.
“There’s solace in knowing that such people and providers are out there, still caring, still working on compassion—working to make things better.”
— Robert Minicucci, The Good Listening Project
In medicine, we often see people in a blur: too fast (in the ICU) or too close (countless lab values). Palliative Care professionals are experts at slow medicine—taking the time to see seriously ill people and families clearly.
