The JimJam travels to Seattle to interview Tony Back MD, Director of Palliative Care at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and Professor of Medicine/Oncology at the University of Washington. Tony has done some very interesting research relating to patient/physician communication, medical provider burnout and depression and the use of psilocybin in treatment. He has also used psilocybin in the treatment of depression in stage 4 cancer patients. We think you will enjoy these topics in discussion.

Specifically, Will shares his challenges stemming from the  loss of his wife, Denise, in retirement, and how he navigated the changes that occur when such a life event happens.
