‘Due to the lack of professional palliative care support, people tried to figure out their own way to provide care, driven by cultural considerations and local values’. Read this week’s #EAPCblog bit.ly/4hvlwYK @amsterdamumc @PalliativeMedJ @cewalshe

They stressed we mustn't stop doctors suggesting assisted death even when the patient hasn't mentioned it - as this would stop docs 'taking care of' patients (his words).
Dr Michelle Edwards retweeted
He said he has raised it first with patients 'a lot' - and that many took the option after he'd suggested it.
An interesting point here
Replying to @danny__kruger
As Dr Clark said, raising the option unprompted is itself coercive, as it encourages people to think their life is not worth living anymore, and they should take this option.

What is a ‘good death’?
That’s the wrong question.
What makes the entire illness journey better?
That’s the right question!
In order to improve the end we must improve the beginning!
