Nice article by Daniela Lamas from @nytimes.com. Talks about “difficult” patients. But I really think it’s about being “in the dark”. Even in this story, “comfort care” came hours before death - way too late.

For the #caregivers out there - we see you. And health care providers need to slow down and “take off their shoes” and truly see you. ❤️ happy national caregivers day 🇨🇦
Some gems from the panel:
Grief: it doesn’t get better, you just get stronger.
Health care provider resilience: as the hard skills get better, the soft skills get worse.
