#002 - Join host Dr. Red Hoffman as she interviews Dr. Robert Milch, one of the pioneers of the Surgical Palliative Care movement. Bob discusses the early days of the American College of Surgeon's Surgical Palliative Care Task Force, his career with Hospice Buffalo and what he learned through helping to set up hospice programs throughout the world. He also shares how some of the giants of surgery, including Dr. Olga Johannson and Dr. James Cameron, were early supporters of the surgical palliative care movement. Finally, he reminds us of the importance of taking the time to both read and reflect as we work with critically ill and dying patients.
