Abstract

"An urgently important exploration of the human stories behind Canada's evolving acceptance of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), from one of its first and most thoughtful practitioners. The Last Doctor recounts Marmoreo's crash course in MAiD and introduces a range of very different and memorable patients, some aged, some suffering from degenerative conditions or with a terminal disease, some surrounded by supportive love, some quite alone, who ask her help to end their suffering with dignity and on their own terms. Dr. Marmoreo also shares her own emotional transformation as she climbs a steep learning curve and learns the intimate truths of the vast range of end-of-life situations" -- Provided by publisher.

Abstract

This guide describes the principles and processes involved in the development of the Chinese Peer Navigator Program at the BC Cancer Agency, Vancouver Centre and the bilingual resources that are used with Chinese-speaking patients (Mandarin, Cantonese and English).

This program also reflects "best practice" standards and can be used for future groups or organizations who may wish to adapt it for future peer navigator programs.
