The Better Beginnings, Better Futures Project

A Washington, DC newspaper reporter, Max Mallard, is sent to investigate the town of Wise. Rumor has it that the town has decided to call of Christmas. Is this a hoax or the truth? To his surprise, Mallard finds Wise, a small town nestled up in the Appalachian Mountains, truly canceling the holiday celebrations, including the New Year. The people simply cannot afford it. The entire town went bust virtually overnight. It would be reckless to celebrate such a holiday that is certain to be costly. Adding to the town’s problems, their mayor, Howard Peel, quite abruptly fled Wise and his family a year earlier. He had not been heard from since. No one else volunteered to take on the mayoral responsibility of running a town with a ruined economy. As the disheartened people of Wise are just about to cast their votes to officially cancel Christmas, a mysterious visitor shows up announcing he has a remarkable Christmas story to tell. The town’s people show no interest in the stranger nor his ‘tale.’ They are eager to cast their votes until he stops them cold with the promise of a fantastic story involving their missing mayor, Howard Peel.

It was a D&D game. All the characters had some part in the story. K'NAT is real, and so are his wild friends.

Physicians who care for patients with life-threatening illnesses face daunting communication challenges. Patients and family members can react to difficult news with sadness, distress, anger, or denial. This book defines the specific communication tasks involved in talking with patients with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Topics include delivering bad news, transition to palliative care, discussing goals of advance-care planning and do-not-resuscitate orders, existential and spiritual issues, family conferences, medical futility, and other conflicts at the end of life. Drs Anthony Back, Robert Arnold, and James Tulsky bring together empirical research as well as their own experience to provide a roadmap through difficult conversations about life-threatening issues. The book offers both a theoretical framework and practical conversational tools that the practising physician and clinician can use to improve communication skills, increase satisfaction, and protect themselves from burnout.
