How do you approach discussions about end-of-life care and palliative options for patients with advanced hematologic diseases?
Answer / Shiva Tyagi
Discussions about end-of-life care and palliative options are sensitive and require empathy and understanding. I begin by assessing the patient's physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. I explain the disease progression, treatment options, and potential outcomes in a clear and compassionate manner. I collaborate with the patient's family and healthcare team to develop a comprehensive care plan that focuses on symptom management, quality of life, and patient preferences.
