Walking alongside someone with serious illness takes compassion, skill, and a willingness to learn. Dr. Kevin Dieter is teaching medical students how to be with the dying. When Kevin’s patient “Mary” asked him to help her die, he had no idea how to support her. Mary taught him how to shepherd a patient and family at the end of life, teaching him a lesson that changed his career. Kevin has gone on to work in hospice care and to write curriculum programs for medical students. Here are the three Pillars of Care that Dr. Dieter teaches: 1. The dying are our teachers. We learn from each of them. 2. We are the medicine. Medications provide relief and mitigation of symptoms, but showing up is powerful. 3. Dying is primarily a spiritual process - it impacts how someone dies and how long it takes for them to die.
