KALW 91.7 launches special series on transforming the taboo around deathBeginning in 2016, two new laws come into effect that can dramatically impact how Californians choose to control their medical care through their final exhale. The “End of Life Option Act” (aka “Right to Die”) becomes accessible for many, though not all, people with terminal illness. And, thanks to a new Medicare ruling, healthcare providers will now be encouraged (and reimbursed) to sit down with all of their patients to develop an Advanced Care Plan every year, throughout the year.Dawn Gross, MD, PhD has been caring for people with life-threatening illnesses for over a decade. Dr. Dawn is committed to revolutionizing the way we talk about - and prepare for – death. And on her four-part KALW series Dying To Talk, she and her guests will create a safe space to transform the experience of end-of-life conversations from dread to discovery.“Until Death It Is All Life” Knowing that we are mortal is different than knowing that we will die. Explore the opportunities that arise for ourselves and those we love when we face death head on with a healthcare advocate at our side. January 14 at 7pm. The Machinery of Medicine As life-saving medical treatments continue to advance, many potential pitfalls await us as we become frail or terminally-ill. Get answers to your questions from frontline emergency medical and critical care providers. February 11 at 7pm. Caregiving Feeling lost, overwhelmed and invisible are just some of the emotions many caregivers encounter. Share in a conversation with guests intimately familiar with caring for a dying loved one – and discover how, even as we face great loss, something magical becomes possible. March 10 at 7pm. What Do You Wish? “If I had a magic wand, what would you wish for?” Share your successes, challenges and fears in having Advanced Care Planning conversations. April 14 at 7pm.
