I'm often asked how to deal with apparent 'over-optimism' when a person with serious illness seems unable/unwilling to grasp its significance. Can't do better than #WalkTwoRoads advice in @WaitingRoomRev book 'Hope for the Best, Plan for the Rest' waitingroomrevolution.com/bo…

Shamanism and #MAiD? In this episode of Disrupting Death, we engage in an insightful conversation with Gaye Hanson, a shamanic practitioner who combines her expertise as a healthcare policy analyst, researcher, and grief expert with her shamanistic knowledge. Check it out!

I can't imagine how Indigenous peoples feel watching this sack of shit lying like this after the things he has said about them in the past. What a bloody hypocrite he is
On National Day for Truth & Reconciliation, we reflect on the injustices Indigenous Peoples have faced and continue to work towards true healing for all.

Most know the saying "a journey of thousand miles begins with a single step." Of course it does, but that first step isn't the same for all of us. With depression "a journey of a single step can feel like a thousand miles." #SickNotWeak

While listening to council meetings in Montreal, local mayor Sue Montgomery decided to knit in red when men spoke and in green for women. Same number of men and women attended. Day 1 results showed a big disparity.... #WomensArt

New on our blog: “This is the fight of my life”. In this bold and honest blog post, André explains the hypocrisy he perceives and his frustration in denying access to MAID for those who suffer from mental disorders. ow.ly/k70B50NfKT6

I used to spend a long time explaining what #palliativecare is at start of a visit. Now I ask briefly why a patient came in, dispel any myths, and go quickly into listening, symptom mgmt, & support. Hearing about what we do is less compelling than experiencing what we do. #hapc

'If you only knew about air travel what you learn via the media, would you ever get on a plane?' How ordinary dying is hidden in plain sight by media stories of the tragic and unusual. Thanks @TEDxDunLaoghair #Youth meeting. youtu.be/Skf0X8ErPMI

The wonder of zoom - I got to meet all-time palliative care Wise Man @HMChochinov for a cuppa this afternoon! I'm getting ever more excited about my visit to Canada 2023.
Finally got to 'meet' Kathryn Mannix. She is as lovely in person as she is within the pages of her books. @VirtualHospice @WaitingRoomRev @CSPCP_SCMSP @NightShiftMD @drkathrynmannix @CdnMedHallFame @CCMB_Research @IPOSPsychoOncol @CAPO_ACOP @KatharineSmart @umanitoba @drgigiosler

Access to quality #palliativecare is a real issue in #Canada but not the reason #Canadians are requesting #MAiD. “There are powerful drivers to MAiD but palliative care isn’t one of them” @jamesdownar #mipcc22
We said it, we warned you, we shouted it by the roof tops. Now I really hope all the "Ford is ok" people will see the disaster they created with their own eyes. cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/o…
