Palliative Care Featured on Netflix's "From Scratch"
In the limited series "From Scratch," the role of palliative care is accurately illustrated to viewers. After asking for a palliative care consult, the patient and family's frustration about constant testing, lack of communication, and the overall hospital experience was eased by instant empathy and clear communication from the palliative care physician. She delivered serious news after asking for permission and then provided space for the patient and family to process before they made further decisions.
