In this episode of the Real Life. Real Kitchen Podcast , we explore the complexities of caring for the elderly, effective communication in medicine, and the ethical debates surrounding assisted dying.

Dr. Cajetan Skowronski shares his expertise as a doctor working in geriatric medicine, stroke and palliative care, on how medical practitioners can better serve older populations and why understanding death is as vital as understanding life.

Welcome to the Real Life. Real Kitchen Podcast with your host, Zoë F. Willis, English mother-of-many, Mum Mentor, and your host at this weekly gathering of real talk, real food, and real family life.
