Show Notes
The concept of palliative care can bring up a whole flood of thoughts and emotions: fear, anxiety, grief, anger, helplessness. But palliative care physician Sunita Puri wants to change people’s perception of her field. And not just laypeople, but also her medical colleagues. Dr. Puri tells Claire why she became a palliative care doctor, how she’s working to destigmatize her chosen field, how she strives to empower patients and caregivers facing serious illnesses or end-of-life situations, and how she hopes the COVID-19 pandemic changed people’s willingness to be open about grief and loss for the better.
