@elinlowri @doctorcaldwell @katemasters67 Excuse me? Unhelpful why? Unsure what your experience is, that you think I'm not respecting Elin?

@C7RKY >>because alternative is unthinking docs who fail to anticipate death at all, which can result in poor EOL care including futile CPR. -
@elinlowri Ok, I see. EOL is a relatively new area for me (my focus has been on consent so far) & I already realise that it's not simple, > -
@elinlowri ..but the consent aspect keeps emerging - & seems to be significant here too. So what's the right way forward do you think? -
@C7RKY Often, end of life discussions in hospital are not given value in terms of time or space - those things would really help. -
@elinlowri Definitely. I realise my own stance must be hard to understand sometimes too, without knowing my story. We must all compare notes -
@elinlowri And thank you... for bringing a human touch to the discussion. It was sorely needed. :) -
@C7RKY Pleasure! Here's a blog I wrote a little while ago which perhaps explains things a bit more: might be helpful http://elinlowri.wordpress.com/2013/05/11/dying-matters/ … -
@elinlowri That was both sad & refreshing to read, all at the same time - thank you for that. I'm afraid I can't blog my tale publicly yet > - 1 more reply

@C7RKY >>easier not to have them. Which is what some docs choose. So 'tired docs who end a life with a decision' is perhaps emotive for me>>Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
