Dr Michael Barbato: The art of palliative care

In this episode of What About Death I speak with Dr Michael Barbato who has been a medical doctor for over 55 years and a palliative care physician for over 30 years. Michael has written three books entitled, "Caring for the Living and Dying", "Reflections of a Setting Sun, and "Midwifing Death". Michael's extensive experience, knowledge, understanding and insight into this important field of care provides both a personal and professional perspective of the many dimensions to the art of palliative care and to experiencing the kinder side to a palliative life and death. What About Death is hosted by Tsultrim and edited by Adair Sheppard, Kiara Fauzi and Shannon Callander. Special thanks to Verena Coombs, Joshua Byrd, and the Karuna team.
