Episode 13: How Much Time Do I Have, Doc?: A Conversation with Dr. Michael Fratkin About Prognosis
Manage episode 332839118 series 3366234
When my four-year-old son started asking me questions about our neighbor who was in hospice, I realized I was having a difficult time answering his questions about when our neighbor might die. This got me thinking: Can any of us accurately predict when someone might die? So I decided to reach out to Dr. Michael Fratkin, a palliative care doctor and founder of Resolution Care. In this episode, you will hear our conversation about prognosis and the mystery behind trying to guess how the future will unfold. You will also hear parts of my conversation with my wonderful son about our neighbor.
Thank you to Dr. Michael Fratkin for the thought-provoking conversation and to my amazing son for always keeping me on my toes.
Music: “Mother’s Hands” by Sergey Cheremisinov, “Our Fingers Cold” by Blue Dot Sessions, and “Spring Memories” by Alan Spiljak
