What does a “good death” look like to you?
Palliative and end of life care has been a big topic on my ward recently. Unfortunately we’ve had our fair share of what we feel aren’t “good” deaths and are in the process of trying to make it better (namely by trying to get medics to listen to our concerns sooner and make actual plans for end of life patients). I won’t get into specifics but we’ve been left once again fighting for a patient who’s EOL and medics don’t listen. What does a “good death” look like to you in your speciality and is what we are experiencing the norm? Cause I really don’t think it’s correct at all.
