Palliative and End of Life Care

This documentary introduces us to Stephen Jenkinson, once the leader of a palliative care counselling team at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital. Through his daytime job, he has been at the deathbed of well over 1,000 people. What he sees over and over, he says, is "a wretched anxiety and an existential terror" even when there is no pain. Indicting the practice of palliative care itself, he has made it his life's mission to change the way we die - to turn the act of dying from denial and resistance into an essential part of life.

This three-part series introduces viewers to a spectrum of palliative care-related topics, including the transition from curative to palliative care, a team approach to end-of-life care, and bereavement issues. 3-part series, 22–24 minutes each.
The Series Includes : * Transition to Palliative Care * Team Approach to Palliative Care * Bereavement Issues in Palliative Care
