#005 Dr Frank Brennan - Palliative Care & Poetry

Doctors Getting Coffee

Apr 17 2022 • 43 mins

This week I spoke with Dr Frank Brennan from Calvary Hospital in Sydney, Australia. What an incredible person. What an incredible conversation. We spoke about how his passion for Palliative Care stemmed from his Brother passing away at a young age. We spoke about his time in South Africa. We spoke about how to discover yourself as a doctor and his journey in medicine. He shared with us an incredible poem and a short story about the struggle of the dying process, not sure as the patient but also as the loved ones. We also discussed how working with people who are dying make us reflect on our own mortality as doctors.
