Bioethics for a Better World Season 1, Episode 5: The Escalation Cliff
In this episode, we discuss escalation of medical interventions and how open conversation along the way can prevent patients and families from feeling like they are “falling off a cliff” when there are no further new therapies to try. Dr. Sara Kolmes and Dr. Lucas Pfeifer discuss primary and specialty palliative care approaches to preventing or facing an inevitable escalation cliff.
