Palliative care:
Is not owned by one specialty in healthcare.
Should be naturally infused into the entire care journey.
Should be delivered seamlessly without labels.
Is an approach to care that balances hope & reality.

His voice is weak.
Now just a whisper.
A friend had an idea.
Brought over an old karaoke machine.
To amplify his lyrics.
In this, his final gig.

Birth
Infancy
Childhood
Adolescence
Adulthood
Aging
Stages of the life cycle.
The details of each well studied & described, including the physiologic changes.
But not dying.
It’s ignored & hidden.
Anyone else find this disturbing?
No wonder there’s fear!

Bring the essence of you to every healthcare interaction.
You know YOU best.
The ideal care plan is hatched when the healthcare provider sees you as a unique person.

I am grateful that I have practised #Palliativecare for ~two decades.
I was able to use my knowledge of common dying as a ‘good enough’ guide.
But each illness category will add a layer of uniqueness….that shouldn’t be left as a surprise.
