Customer Reviews
Implicit Bias in End of Life Care Episode
So grateful for this conversation between doctors Curseen and Wyatt.
What we never learned in school (or anywhere else)
Death is the one certain thing about life. Yet so many of us do our best to never think about it. We certainly aren’t taught about death in our public schools, and it would be difficult for many if not most parents to broach the subject with their children, even grown ones. It’s not a topic for date night with our beloved, unless one of us is facing a terminal illness. Why wait?
In this podcast, the many topics related to death are addressed directly, lovingly, thoughtfully, and non-dramatically. It helps us to prepare for the inevitable, even if that is decades away. Perhaps more importantly, this podcast helps me to live a fulfilling life today.
I began listening to this podcast because I am a relatively new Hospice volunteer and wanted to learn everything I could to support my clients. As a a result, I am educating myself and engaging my spouse, friends, and family in exploring our thoughts and feelings on the greatest mysteries of life. What a gift Dr. Wyatt offers all of us through her interviews and reflections! I am eternally grateful.
Highly informative and interesting
I have only just discovered this podcast this week and have already listened to the last 4 episodes. They are all super informative, Dr Wyatt is a very good interviewer because she is obviously a good listener with a lot of compassion. The variety of speakers and ideas is wonderful.
