      abstract = {Rooted in everyday hospital medicine, Palliative Skills  for Frontline Clinicians addresses the challenges of  delivering complex care to patients living with serious  illnesses. Spanning emergency medicine, internal medicine,  surgery and various subspecialties, each chapter reads like  a story, comparing usual care with a step-by-step  palliative-based approach. This case-based book features a  multidisciplinary, palliative-trained authorship, including  neurologists, nephrologists, emergency physicians,  surgeons, intensivists, and obstetricians. Divided into  four parts, Palliative Skills for Frontline Clinicians  outlines common clinical scenarios across settings and  specialties to highlight unmet needs of patients with  potentially terminal illnesses. Each case is broken down  into the usual standard approach, and delves into detail  regarding different palliative interventions that can be  appropriate in those scenarios. These are meant to be  practice changing; down to the actual words used to  communicate with patients. In addition to the books focus  on the principles of palliative care and the "art" of  treating the patient, approaches to communication with the  patients families for the best long-term outcomes are  discussed. Concise and pragmatic, Palliative Skills for  Frontline Clinicians is meant to be practice changing. It  provides readers with both a new conceptual framework, as  well as actual words to communicate with patients and  medication doses for symptom management. It is an  invaluable resource for non-palliative trained clinicians  who wish to strengthen their palliative care skills.},
