Why physician find great meaning in providing palliative care?
When I carry the mega delusion of immortality, I am helplessly tossed between cravings and fears. I think participation in the end of life care is the privilege of experiencing a little bit of mortality with out having to die first. Through mindfulness, I can internalize these precious perspectives; then enjoy each moment with gratitude and curiosity; and finally experience a sense of equanimity and meaning beyond the tangible.
