Encounters — Perspectives on terminal cancer and what matters at the end of life
In this audio reading, we hear the perspectives of a patient, the spouse of another patient, and the oncologist who cared for both patients. They share their thoughts on terminal cancer, doctor-patient communication, and what changes when you know the end is near. The article, titled "What really matters at the end: perspectives from a patient, a family member and an oncologist," was written by Penny Nelson, Rachel Koven and Dr. Christopher Booth (Department of Oncology, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ont.). Their Humanities Encounters article is published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.Full article: www.cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/cmaj.171285-----------------------------------For more stories like this one, get your copy of CMAJ’s Encounters Book.
