Andrew Denton joins a Compass discussion on Sunday surrounding “A Good Exit: Who Decides. The complexities of dying in Australia today.”
For the first time ever, and with little preparation, our doctors and families are forced to make a choice: the life support machine or simple care on the ward (or at home).
Palliative care physician Linda Sheahan tells ABC, “I think there’s increasingly poor death literacy… People aren’t talking about death as much, they’re not communicating with their loved ones family members, doctors, nurses. Talking about death will help us understand better how to do it well.”
6:30pm Sunday on ABC.
