\begin{abstract}
Hi r/Science! My name is Dr. Arif Kamal and I am a palliative care
physician at Duke University. Palliative care, also known as palliative
medicine, is specialized medical care for people living with serious
illness. It focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of
a serious illness---whatever the diagnosis. The goal is to improve
quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care is
provided by a team of palliative care doctors, nurses and other
specialists who work together with a patient's other doctors to provide
an extra layer of support. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage
in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.
As a palliative care physician, I hope to demystify what palliative care
means to those who worry that a focus on quality of life during
incurable illness may mean shortening life in the process, or even
worse, that we have anything to do with ``death panels''. In addition to
direct patient care, I also co-founded the Global Palliative Care
Quality Alliance, a collaboration of palliative care organizations
dedicated to exploring how to further best practices and quality within
the palliative care field. On October 15th, we will be holding the first
virtual conference dedicated to quality within palliative care called
the Quality Matters Conference. To find out more about the GPCQA and the
Quality Matters Conference, visit us at www.gpcqa.org. I will be
answering your questions at 4 pm ET (1 pm PT, 9 pm UTC). Ask Me
Anything! Don't forget to follow me on Twitter @arifkamalmd and the
Global Palliative Care Quality Alliance @GPCQA%
