For all children of mortal parents, here’s a touching Mother’s Day essay from the founder of Hello, Mortal hellomortal.beehiiv.com/p/letter-found…

You bet! Read it and sent it to many others! Your mom has every reason to be proud.

The Covenant of Water. But it’s even better to listen to!

Willingness to respectfully converse with people who disagree strongly is a cornerstone of civil societies. The Disagreement podcast The Disagreement gave Kim Callinan and myself a chance to discuss MAiD. It was compelling, clarifying dialogue. Compassion & Choices

A very meaningful and substantive exchange between Ira Byock and Kim Callinan about medical aid in dying. Check it out on Apple podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere else! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/9-m…

No doubt that Kim Callinan & Compassion & Choices approach this issue in good faith. However, I agree with Ira Byock that w/o firm guardrails, factors like poorly treated symptoms or coercion--implicit & otherwise--may lead folks down a path they might otherwise wish to avoid. #MAiD

Wow!

A great graphic essay that illustrates (😉) an important application of AI in practice

Honoured to be given the Carmelita Lawlor Lectureship from UofT Family Medicine at #HPCO2024 last night - transforming care through advancing a Cicely Saunder’s inspired ‘culture of palliative care’ that leaves no one behind. “We’ve got you. You matter.” #palliativecare

Too Little, Too Late aptly describes the plight of dying people and their families in Australia. Leaders in government, healthcare providers, and payers need to step up and take tangible steps. Violet is showing what real leadership looks like! blog.violet.org.au/en/news/too-li…

I've urged national hospice organizations to dispel the urban legend that hospitals are forbidden to develop hospice preferred provider lists. @NPHI_News stepped up! This statement will improve hospice referrals, and prevent suffering. Great work! hospiceinnovations.org/wp-content/upl…

Deeply meaningful to talk with Ned Buskirk, host of the Yer Going to Die podcast, as he is grieving the death of his stepmom. Honest and soulful stuff. Remember to breathe…You're Going to Die yg2d.podbean.com/e/why-wait-w-i…

So well stated and illustrated!

Dr. Bernice Harper was one of the truly great pioneers of our field. I had the privilege of knowing her as a colleague and friend.

So many decades of close friendship, so many hours of the privilege of sitting with dying people, the joy in our connection runs like a river between us.

World Day is Oct 12. WHPCA is celebrating 10th anniversary of WHO resolution calling on countries to “strengthen palliative care as a component of comprehensive care.” I gave £100 to support WHPCA’s global efforts. Please join me. #CompassionateCommunities
