Once upon a time, radiology rounds were a daily part of the work flow of the inpatient medical team. What has been lost with its demise?

If all patients meet #PalliativeCare early in serious illness, in my experience probably...
1/3 who won't/don't find it helpful
1/3 who are uncertain early, but see/get the benefit later
1/3 who get benefit from the start
So let PC meet everyone and let patients vote with their feet.
