We undertake so much planning for coming into this world but won’t even talk about what we want for going out of this world. Let’s talk about dying and what matters to us at the end of our lives.

@Existential_Doc I use this term often, put this is about 5 separate patients notes this week- recognising and naming this distressing symptom is so important I think

@Kellymoffat1 @NHS_Lothian @LothianSjh @RIE_Lothian @WghLothian Love it- what an amazing team 💕

[Edel O'Brien @EdelOBrien9]

@Existential_Doc Yeah not finding evidence that prokinetics cause migration... but also no evidence they improve symptoms but that's not what we see in practice ... I'll let you know what I find out (literature search on my horizon)
