I believe in having conversations we often avoid in Medicine.

This is a safe space if this matters to you. ❤️

Seeing cancer patients for a living, I’ve learnt:

Patients are not scared of ‘deaths’.
They’re scared of ‘dying’.

So what’s the difference?

[Dr. Jill Kar @jill_kar]

We specialise in symptom management throughout the disease, but also End of Life Care.

I’m still scared of dying, but at least I know there’s someone who wouldn’t let me suffer through it.

The mother was in the ICU, unconscious, unresponsive, breathing on a ventilator.

2 sons and 1 daughter, fighting outside.

It’s doctors that realise that vs. the ones who don’t.
