Fantastic episode, Jed. As someone for whom these “soft” skills are not as intuitive, I found this to be full of useful tips, strategies, and practical advice. I completed the best critical care fellowship out there (obviously biased), but I entered my first faculty job feeling largely unprepared to have the tough conversations discussed here. I think palliative care is the area where I’ve learned the most as a junior intensivist, largely by doing. Thanks for putting this out there.
