An important change down under:
“There’s no other medical treatment where you are banned from telling someone what their legal and viable medical options are. There’s no other circumstance where the patient is required to know about their options and a doctor can’t tell them.

Dr Andrew Green Chair, BMA Medical Ethics Committee: “Please do not pass legislation that makes it harder for doctors to understand their patients.”

Doctors should be allowed to have honest and open conversations about assisted dying.

I appreciated the opportunity to share my own perspective on VAD and grief, as a DWDV board member, a person with lived experience of supporting a family member to access VAD, and a co-facilitator of the VAD-specific support groups offered by @DWDVic and @griefline_org.

Proud to share this podcast episode about Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD)-specific grief and bereavement support, recorded late last year alongside the wonderful Kerrie Arthur from Griefline: https://t.co/BtjPLnOHfz

[Jane Nosworthy @JaneNosworthy]

A huge thank you to our host, Dr Laureen Lawlor-Smith, for creating this podcast to share different perspectives on VAD journeys, including from family members of people who have accessed VAD and healthcare workers involved in the VAD process.

1/ Canada's 5th #MAID report came out last week. More information (82 pages!), less fanfare, likely due to people being better at interpreting observational data.
Here's a 🧵 with some key findings

@JasonD60 Nowhere in the world where assisted dying is legal does it require the ingestion of 60+ pills. Opponents will say anything to scare and confuse.
