The Alternative to the Clinical Version of Medicine
I want to remind ourselves that the medical system, medical inventions, they're there for us to use, not the other way around. We all have to be thinking about the reality of life, which includes death. And if we can open up that conversation as a civil society and be less afraid... then we've got a chance at accepting our fate. I first became aware of you when you were working with the zen hospice centre in san francisco. Can you describe the atmosphere in which people were allowed to die there? Yes. You have an alternative to this clinical version. What is your alternative look like? i'd suppose it might have something to do with proportionality.
