Embracing Mortality: A Physician's Journey from Cardiology to Hospice Care with Dr. Chris Kerr
Listen now
Description
Minter Dialogue with Dr Chris Kerr Dr Chris Kerr is a hospice physician and end-of-life researcher. He's also the acclaimed author of "Death is But a Dream" as well as one of the most viewed TEDx speakers, with over 5 million views for his talk, "I See Dead People: Dreams and Visions of the Dying." In this conversation, we discuss his work, what he has observed about people dying and death, the way the medical community evaluates and embraces (or doesn't) death. We look at the difference between psychedelic-assisted therapy to deal with fear of death versus the types of the visions one has naturally. We touch of assisted suicide and euthanasia, as well as explore the major lessons Dr Kerr has extracted over the course of his fascinating 25+-year career.  If you've got comments or questions you'd like to see answered, send your email or audio file to [email protected]; or you can find the show notes and comment on minterdial.com.
