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.
