title: [Of Caipirinhas and two ham steaks - variations of the "White Hat Syndrome" of farewell].
abstract: Three case studies exemplify the role of smell and its associations with memories, paramount life episodes and critical decisions. Specific food and drinks resp. their fragrances may be of particular importance in multimorbid and terminally ill patients. A "white hat round" by a particularly trained hospital cook is proposed.
