Über diesen Titel
In this episode, I’m talking about my two-week placement in palliative care — a rotation I went into expecting to be heavy, emotionally draining, and quietly devastating… and instead found to be one of the most meaningful experiences of medical school.
We talk about what palliative care is actually like, the incredible staff who make it such a special environment, and why a place so closely associated with death can still be full of warmth, humour, and humanity. I share a personal story about a patient I got to know well, and how my last day on placement became his last day before going home — a moment that reminded me why caring matters.
This episode is about emotional boundaries, why medicine can sometimes feel cold, and why letting yourself care doesn’t make you weak or unprofessional — it makes you human. A reminder that not all of medicine is about fixing things, and that sometimes the most important part is simply showing up.
