#003 - 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.
