Great illustration, clear explanations. Very nice pillar analogy. A good introduction to palliative care for all clinicians. Just to make aware that palliative care is not called upon only when curative treatment options are no longer being explored but can be provided alongside curative therapies with a focus on symptom management and advanced care planning discussions. Thank you.
