The Surgical Palliative Care Podcast
As one of just 80 U.S. surgeons currently board-certified in Hospice and Palliative Medicine, Dr. Red created The Surgical Palliative Care Podcast to showcase the founders and the leaders of the surgical palliative care movement. Tune in to hear more about the rich history of the profession, to stay up to date on the latest research and to learn how to integrate palliative care into your practice. Hosted by Dr. Red and a variety of co-hosts, The Surgical Palliative Care Podcast aims to educate, foster community and provide mentorship to all those interested in making certain that all surgical and trauma patients receive the excellent treatment they deserve.
Episode 3: Jonathan Bartels, RN: Creator of The Pause
Join host Dr. Red Hoffman as she interviews Jonathan Bartels, a palliative liaison nurse at the University of Virginia and the founder of The Pause, a 30-second to one-minute period of silence meant to honor both the patient and the treatment team after a death occurs. Jonathan discusses his work in both trauma and palliative care (they are not as different as people think!) as well as his work with the Compassionate Care Initiative. As the son and brother of surgeons, he brings a unique perspective to his career as a nurse and offers his opinion on how surgeons may better integrate the principles of palliative medicine into their daily work.
