Looking forward to hearing from Dr. James Ray about Pharmacopalliation in Serious Illness on Wednesday, October 4th at 12:00 EST. While we want to provide whole-person and goal-concordant care, the medical system emphasizes medications for symptom management. I am thrilled to hear some advice for how to navigate the landscape of medications that may be non-beneficial and potential drug interactions that may make us more hesitant to use certain medications at the end of life.
