Journal Article
Should I have played death’s advocate?
2017
Overview
I've just had my first patient receive medical assistance in dying (MAiD). He had lived with metastatic cancer for 11 years, but I had never really asked him how and why he kept going all these years. Nor do I feel now, despite having questioned him about his decision, that I truly understand why he chose MAiD. Many of my palliative care colleagues reassure me that good palliative care and alleviation of suffering can be (and some say, should be) a viable alternative to MAiD. But he had received good palliative care, as many of my patients do, cared for by our hospice or community team, and yet not all choose MAiD. Some do, and some don't. Finally, those in whom the adversity of cancer has served as a \"call to arms\" may not contemplate turning to MAiD. Instead, it may be a matter of personal pride and character as to how and how long they fight what is seen primarily as an opponent.
