“To have control of my own mind.. to go with dignity is less terrifying. When I look at both options I have to die, I feel this is far more humane.” –Brittany Maynard
Maine just became the 8th state plus Washington DC to legalize physician assisted suicide, also known as physician assisted death. It has been a topic of controversy since 1990’s. Tina from the podcast Good Nurse Bad Nurse joins the show this week to discuss how she views life and what it means to die with dignity. She also shares an experience that happened at a hospital she once worked at that included a husband who simply could not handle the suffering he witnessed his wife going through daily and an unfortunate turn of events.
