And that's often at the very end of life that we hear that.
And I think that in a time where...
care is becoming increasingly fragmented and transactional and patients feel less and less like people and more and more like numbers, the ideas that are at the core of our field are so important.
They're even more important now maybe than they've ever been because clinicians also get lost in this shuffle.
And I think it's part of the key to our sustainability to lean into
relationships in the way that it was conceptualized at the very beginning of our field.
Many people aren't familiar with, you know, Balfour Mount's work to develop, you know, along with people like Michael, the field of whole person care, which was developed at McGill as sort of based on the skills that we developed in caring for people with serious illness, you know, and at the end of life.
But he didn't want it to get sort of
isolated in palliative medicine or palliative care he wanted it to be something he saw the value of this for all clinicians all physicians and so he separated out some of these ideas that we were learning and turned and created this sort of concept of whole person care that sort of then became a formal curriculum
And and I think over time has sort of come to be sort of thought of as person centered care.
But that's really comes from our field.
And I think it's so critical that we as as, you know, increasingly leaders in our health health care systems that we're aware of this history because we can it's essential to our sustainability.
Tippett on the first day was talking about this.
And I was like, wow, this connects to what we're talking about now.
Well, and I think just to add to that, I think that what Val and Michael, I believe, together wrote about healing was that it's an innate potential within us, but that it's a relational process.
that leads to a sense of integrity or transformational growth in a person and so i think that this is what i find so radical about this idea is that it's not you know of course like from a from a physiologic perspective dying is just a series of failures but we know in caring for people at the end of life and through the course of their serious illness that there's something possible there when you know all of us know someone who's come to the end of their life and said the last year of my life was the best
you know, in the setting of their advanced cancer.
And that's because something happened in that time that couldn't have otherwise happened.
And part of our work in palliative care is to enable that process, you know, either whether it's through the expert control of symptoms or through the work that we do in relating to people in a time where their social relations are entirely disrupted, right?
And we set an example for them about how to relate with others.
