We've covered stories before.  With Liz Salmi, Anne Kelly, and Preeti Malani we talked about stories written up in the academic literature, such as the JAMA Piece of My Mind series.  We talked with Thor Ringler, who helped found the My Life My Story Project at the VA and beyond, and Heather Coats about the evidence base for capturing patient stories. Today's podcast is both similar and different.  Similar in that the underlying theme of the power of stories.  Different in that these storytelling initiatives, the Nocturnists and the Palliative Story Exchange, are focused on clinicians sharing stories with each other in small groups to heal. There's something magical that happens in small group storytelling. It's that mixture of intimacy and vulnerability, of shared clinical experiences, that fosters a sense of belonging.  We model that small group storytelling experience today. We discuss: The “origin stories” of the Nocturnists Live Show and Podcast and the Palliative Story Exchange The process for story creation and development, written in advance or not, feedback or not after the story, and the aims and goals of each initiative And we each tell a short story, modeling the process for The Nocturnists and the Palliative Story Exchange for our listeners These initiatives arose organically from clinicians as part of a journey away from burnout, moral distress, shame, and loneliness toward healing, wholeness, gratitude, and belonging.  A journey taken one story at a time. One final note on the song request: About 20 years ago I took an epidemiology course as part of a Masters program. The instructor, Fran Cook, gave all the students a survey without explanation.  We answered the survey and handed it in. One of the questions was, “Can you name a song by the Tragically Hip?”  It later turned out the survey was a prognostic index designed to determine if the respondent was Canadian.   -@AlexSmithMD Here's a link to an article about the Palliative Story Exchange.

Last week we talked about a trial of a nurse and social worker outpatient palliative care intervention published in JAMA.  This week, we talk about the other major palliative care trial of default palliative care consults for hospitalized older adults with COPD, kidney disease, or dementia, published in the same issue of JAMA. (See also our accompanying editorial, first author Ashwin Kotwal who joins today as a co-host, and a podcast I recorded with JAMA editor Preeti Malani). For context, listen to the prior podcast with Scott on “nudges” and prior podcast with Kate on who should get palliative care. Three things I love about this podcast, and why you should listen.  First, in our editorial, we expressed concern about the length of stay metric not being patient centric, though important for health systems focused on cost savings.  It was refreshing to hear Scott and Kate express similar sentiments.  Second, we wanted to know how the palliative care clinicians felt about the increased workload - and we had some glimpses into those experiences (and hope for a future publication that fleshes it out further).  Finally, we heard about next steps and lessons learned, as though this was the largest pragmatic trial of palliative care to date, it isn't their last.  Much more to come.  And next time maybe we really will play the game where every time the word pragmatic is mentioned you have to drink

Two weeks ago on the GeriPal podcast we talked about why and how to write for the general public.  This week we've invited three guests to share their stories about storytelling that's written for healthcare providers. The first guest is Liz Salmi.  Liz wrote a fabulous perspectives piece in the NEJM titled “Deciding on My Dimples” which talks about her experience as a patient doing shared decision making during neurosurgery for resection of an astrocytoma.   In addition to this being a fascinating story, Liz brings in a great perspective as a patient, advocate, researcher, and a punk rocker. Our second guest is a recurring star of GeriPal, Anne Kelly.  She just published an essay for JAMA Piece of My Mind titled “The Last Visit”.  In this piece Anne describes her experience with the expressions of love she and her mother shared in the last days of her mothers life. Lastly, but certainly not least, we've invited Preeti Malani.  Preeti is the editor for JAMA's Piece of My Mind section.  We've asked Preeti to come on to describe what happens behind the curtain when evaluating these stories, including what makes those few that get accepted stand out. We've also love to hear from you on twitter and facebook your own experiences writing for the medical world (and please include links!)

This week, Michigan's COVID infection numbers exploded into a fourth surge that has worried doctors, overwhelmed hospital systems and left the rest of us asking what could be next. Michigan is now leading the nation in COVID infections.  West Michigan's largest hospital, Spectrum Health, on Tuesday reported more COVID inpatient cases than the hospital has ever had at any point in the pandemic. In addition, more tests are coming back positive, more kids are being hospitalized and people seem to be sicker than in previous months, according to Michigan Radio reporter, Dustin Dwyer.  Dr. Preeti Malani, chief health officer at the University of Michigan, is responsible for the health and safety of tens of thousands of students, faculty, and staff. She's also a practicing physician at Michigan Medicine who specializes in infectious disease.  “It's easy to forget that this is a novel coronavirus,” Malani said. While doctors have made strides in prevention and treatment, the way the virus moves and changes is not fully understood. “We still don't understand it even almost two years into this. Although it's changed all of humanity, we're still learning,” she said. But we do know who's most likely to become severely ill from contracting the virus. According to Dr. Malani, most people hospitalized due to COVID are unvaccinated or those with underlying health conditions.  “We still have work to do in terms of getting folks vaccinated,” she said.  As if hospitals don't have enough on their plates with the surge, the state continues to be threatened by another virus: the flu. Dr. Malani warned of what she called a “twindemic”—being hit by a flu outbreak amid the pandemic. Although she first started worrying about how both viruses' paths might collide last year, her fears didn't pan out -- possibly because many Michiganders were staying home and avoiding one or the other disease. But this year, the fourth surge, combined with low vaccination rates, may be cause for concern. Around 70% of Michiganders are fully vaccinated against coronavirus. But, according to state records, only 20% have gotten flu shots this season. At this time last year, Michigan's vaccination rates were nearly 50% higher. Health systems paid a lot of attention to vaccinating against the flu because, in addition to avoiding the bug, their ERs and inpatient beds were already overwhelmed, Dr. Malani said. To the extent they know healthcare systems are swamped by COVID, people may be more motivated to get their flu shots in coming weeks. Most flu vaccines are free with insurance, but free vaccines are available for those without insurance as well. Locations for COVID and flu vaccines can be found at vaccines.gov.  GUESTS: Dustin Dwyer, reporter with Michigan Radio Dr. Preeti Malani, chief health officer at the University of Michigan -- Looking for more conversations from Stateside?
