I support routine family meetings to provide updates, understand patient values, etc.

I am not, however, a supporter of repeatedly meeting with family to hammer them about code status and withdrawal of support.

This is wonderful thank you for posting Arpan Patel, MD PhD (he/him/his). Very proud of this work and our team—I look forward to continuing to learn together how palliative care can best support people facing liver disease, their families, and healthcare professionals caring for them.
