Dying and Death: Looking Beyond the Clinical
Dr Anwar Husain, Palliative Care Physician, conducted a thought-provoking session for the staff of Dr Rahul’s Elder Care on dying and death. As healthcare professionals, we witness death regularly, yet often experience it only as a clinical event—without pausing to confront what death truly means to us personally. Our training teaches us to fight disease and prolong life, but rarely prepares us to accept the reality of dying. The session encouraged us to reflect on our own perceptions of death, so that we can better recognise impending death in our patients and respond with greater acceptance, compassion and dignity.
