An epiphany moment when I replaced ‘patient unable to speak English’ with ‘doctor unable to speak Arabic’. Will henceforth document thus (unless I learn Arabic).

"Whether the cause is COVID-19 or something else, death is inevitable for all of us. A good death, however, is not. In spite of the care, expertise, & knowledge now available, bad deaths are unfortunately all too common for many New Zealanders."
Thx Maxim!

In Australia, specialist palliative care sees 25% of 160k deaths per year. We know about these deaths…🙏🏽@PCOCPallCare

Of the rest, 37.5% are unpredictable.
But…37.5% are predictable. These deaths we know little about.
Shouldn’t we collect PCOC data on these deaths?

@EHahnMD In New Zealand Adult Pall Care we use levomepromazine in a subcut syringe driver.

Time to realise we need policy to deliver excellent palliative care regardless of setting? #hpm https://t.co/zEyXR6v7TN

Many deaths in hospitals are anticipated, yet healthcare systems continue to adopt a reactionary approach to bereavement. The holistic support provided to the dying person and their family unit pre-death really matters!! It’s not just about the resources provided after death!!
