- Questions about the end of life and its care issues are difficult to ask and yet they are cause for great worry by many patients and their families. Dr. Ramchandran addresses this subject from the perspective of her role as a medical oncologist, and Medical Director of Palliative Medicine at the Stanford Cancer Institute.
Speaker: Kavitha Ramchandran, MD - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
My grandmother is going through end of life care. This is very helpful. It takes a special person to have their career in Oncology and palliative care.
So well spoken and very informative!
Very good talk on something really difficult to talk about
So helpful and thank you for speaking so plainly as I get so confused sometimes with the jargon and decisions. Football and chocolate ice cream are goals 🙏🏽
Fantastic presentation & so helpful to the non-medical person. Thank you🙏🏻
My mom has cancer and is on hospice.
Sorry to everyone going through this or that had to go through it
My friend is in hospice at the moment and we cannot see her due to COVID-19. This is hard.
We all do.
Very thorough and helpful. Great presentation, very comforting voice❤️
Thank you so much for this. I was in the ER for extensive PE/DVT. I was told I also had a mass in my lung. I had to WAIT 3 month’s before the mass was investigated. Once the second CT confirmed slight growth I then had to WAIT 6 weeks for a PET/CT (I lit up like a Christmas tree 🎄) and then WAIT 3 more weeks for the Ebus biopsy. I understood why the pulmonologist kept her cards close to her chest BUT the waiting was unbelievably psychologically scarring. I was GRATEFUL that moments after the biopsy she confirmed there were cancer cells and that she didn’t want me to have to wait for the follow-up in a weeks time. I’m a very pragmatic patient and NEED to have all the details so I can plan and the not knowing is unbearable.
Thank you for telling audience to hold off till end of presentation with questions. It is so annoying when a few people hoard time with their questions and/or comments.
Hospice care was administered to my dying husband Stanley here at home!
I read books but when the actual time came I was in shock!
It pretty much sucks when your loved one is dying.
Palliative care is being used in Hospice in my mom’s nursing home for her Alzheimer’s!
I was my late husband Stanley’s caregiver for the 3 years he battled terminal cancer !
I am so sorry for your loss... I thought terminal cancer means the patient can survive for a very short period of time
My husband went through surgery,chemo,and radiation plus 2 trials that were useless!
Herbs fruits vegetables & water queen.
I’m so sorry that your/his hopes were not met. What strong people you were during that difficult time, dear ♥️

Hello, my name is Joachim, and I have to do a death and dying presentation for my college class Biomedical Ethics. The presentation is about me choosing a medical field and discussing an ethical challenge about it. I am really towards using this video as a reference to it. Do you think it is a good idea to have my presentation based on EOL as an ethical challenge in the medical field? Thank you
Wish I could find a cure for my cancer
My doc just stared at me.
No information about diagnosis, chances of survival all rhe while informing me that i needed to move forward on a toxic treatment that wouldnt have added anything to my life, except nausea, no hair, infections, no fingernails, toenails. No doc gave me any percentages. Why skirt around the subject that some people dont want toxic chemicals
They just put me on Palliative care for multi organ failure and over 46 surgeries and my white count is 18,000 and there looking for a auto immune or cancer and the Pain i am in makes me want to give up so my Question is am i under the CDC restrictions ? and a week ago my new Pain Doctor said his hands were tied and now that i am on Palliative care can someone please answer this question??
Are you still with us?
*AFTER LOSING YOUR LOVED ONE - ALL OF THESE THINGS SAID BECOMES NONSENSE!*
This introduction could have e been much, much better!!!
What Happen when a Person Die?
In order to get the correct answer, let us consult the infallible word of God. And the safest way to start is to ask the question:
Q. 1) How did God create or form man?
A. Genesis 2:7; And God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
Note: In forming man, God used two substances namely:
1. Dust of the ground
2. Breath of life
Note: Now that we how God formed man, we can safely answer the above question by reversing the process in which God formed man.
To illustrate:
At Creation: Dust of the ground plus breath of life = man or a living soul
At Death: Living Soul minus breath = Dust
Q. 2) What happen to these two substances when a person die?
A. 1.) Ecclesiastes 12:7; Then the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit (or breath of life according to Genesis 2:7 above) return to God who gave it.
A. 2) Job 27:3; All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils.
A. 3) Genesis 3:17; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread, till thou return to the ground, for out of it was thou taken, for dust thou art, and unto dust shall thou return.
Note: The three texts above clearly explained what happen to the two substances that God used in forming man and at the same time clearly answer
the question. What happen when a person dies?
Note: The belief that when a person dies, there is a soul (immortal) that leave the body, and depending on how the person lived when alive, will determine where the soul will spend eternity, either in hell, to be punished and tortured for all eternity, in purgatory, with the hope of being brought to heaven or direct to heaven as the case maybe. This belief is contradictory to Ezekiel 18:20; The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
The truth in regards to this belief, is that it is based on the Greek Philosophy called “Dualism” (pls research dualism in the internet) which teaches that the body and the mind are two separate entity, In that the body is physical while the mind is spiritual and immortal. Here lies this very dangerous belief. Why? Because if the soul is immortal, of course it is not subject to death. This is why, when a sinner die, based on this belief, his soul will go to hell to be tortured and burned forever and ever without end.
To dispel this erroneous belief, simple questions need to be asked.
1. Would our gracious, loving, merciful and longsuffering God, allow eternal torture and eternal life to co-exist? Of course not.
2. What kind of sin does anyone do, to deserve this kind of endless torture?
It does’nt make sense at all. According to Galatians 6:7; Whatsoever a man soweth, that he also reap.
The truth is, God did not create anything or anyone immortal. For had he done this, then sin would be immortalized. The Bible said, that God alone is immortal. 1 Timothy 6:15,16. The reason is obvious, God knows the end from the beginning, Isaiah 46:9,10. Thus, he knew that Adam and Eve would commit sin, Genesis 3:6. and Romans 5:12; For by one man sin enter the world, and death by sin, in the death passed to all men, for all have sinned.
