Dr. Lisa Iezzoni describes diagnostic overshadowing experienced by people with physical and other disabilities in which health professionals wrongly assume "new" symptoms are part of the disability. #HMSABC
How do MDs see patients w/disabilty? Prof Lisa Iezzoni talks about "diagnostic overshadowing"--seeing everything thru patients' disabilities. Effect on care? Premature palliation? medical aid in dying? #HMSABC @HarvardBioethics
For those who believe, as a speaker stated today, that a patient whose pain isn’t well controlled needs a new doctor, is suggesting that all pain can be made tolerable. But it’s not so simple. Some patients suffer despite best treatments available. @HMSbioethics #HMSABC
""There’s a problem with access to quality care in the U.S., not just with regard to #EndOfLife options. When the supply is lacking in good medical care, who do you think gets the most of it?" asks Dr. Lonny Shavelson #HMSABC
Financing infrastructure for med'l aid in dying is very expensive for small # patients, yet initiates profound cultural change. Provides service for mostly white well-off persons. How is that fair? #HMSABC @HarvardBioethics
Medical #AidInDying presenters answer questions about implementation and practice variability re California's End Of Life Option Act at #HarvardBioethics #HMSABC
Is it ethical to treat patients to live longer to fulfill their wishes-- like petting a cow or goat--before taking lethal dose of meds to deliberately end their lives? #HMSABC
Study of hospitals in California: 18 months after #EndOfLife Option Act, 61% of hospitals opted out, says Neil Wenger of @UCLS at #HMSABC.
Still can’t seem to reconcile why the United States is so unwilling to acknowledge and incorporate best practices from Canada on equitable approaches to end-of-life and Medical Assistance in Death. @HMSbioethics @ #HMSABC
@Mitchell_HCB Proud and honored to be part of this important discussion at #HMSABC. How do we respect all stakeholder interests and and ensure equitable access to medical aid in dying? @HMSbioethics @HMSPallCare

@GibsonJennifer @utjcb commenting on data #MAID in Canada. Remarkably high percentage in BC. My question: could presence Individual strongly committed physicians explain part of these high numbers? @HMSbioethics #HarvardBioethics #HMSABC
