Medical Term

A slip of the typewriter has created a term which fills a need. "Clinical gudgement" is obviously derived from "gudgeon"—a gullible person, or, from the fish of that name, one who will swallow anything (Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, 1968). The term must refer to the practice of making clinical decisions on shaky or absent evidence; the complement, in fact, to the more familiar term. How about a "gudgement of the month" award?

Purpose Palliative care is a philosophy of care that encompasses holistic, patient-centric care involving patients and their family members and loved ones. Palliative care patients often have complex needs. A common challenge in managing patients near their end of life is the complexity of navigating clinical decisions and finding achievable and realistic goals of care that are in line with the values and wishes of patients. This often results in differing opinions and conflicts within the multidisciplinary team. Conclusion This article describes a tool derived from the biopsychosocial model and the 4-quadrant ethical model. The authors describe the use of this tool in managing a patient who wishes to have fried chicken despite aspiration risk and how this tool was used to encourage discussions and reduce conflict and distress within the multidisciplinary team.
