UR Medical Timeout: Topics in Palliative Care

Apr 12 2024 • 22 mins

In this episode, we wrap up our series on symptom management by highlighting the need for frequent monitoring and potentially aggressive medication management when people are hours or days from dying. We cover the ethics of using intensive measures, including the Principle of Double Effect, and discuss why such measures can make the difference between a "good" death and a bad death.
