New job in 'end of life' care starts 24 April, in the Year of Our Lord, 2017...when I'll be putting on the tie...again. It will be a green tie.
Teaching them doctors and nurses about the elegant and beautiful titrations of the opiates, and the associate gear...
Til then the mental health work with the addictions and psychosis etc is pretty good,
and I'll keep doin it a bit of mental health, even later on,
just as a break from the actual serious and difficult work of palliative care, to be sure...
Mental Health Work: The Addictions...etc...A day's paid holiday within every working week...
as for palliation, per se...of our terminal ills...
"If you're going to do the job well, it's best to stay away from the fentanyl and oxycodones, to be sure
stick wit Mother Morphia, and the few other Ms... its a natural and organic ting, and we do need it from time to time. Opium has been with us for so long now that we have evolved to have inbuilt lung and brain receptors exactly for it...and for nothing else that comes close.
That's why the good Lord gave Opium to us, in her wisdom.
You don't want people to be seeing those fentanyl rabbits too often or go through those oxycodone horror hours at all. You just want the person to feel okay, and still drive a car home if they want to. We are only here for awhile, you know, and the exit should be made as comfortable as the entry, after all, if we have evolved at all...and I doubt that. Still, if midwifery matters, then so does palliation...and just as dearly....We don't have to be so primitive and vicious to the dying any more. The righteous utility of that time has passed and has passed us by."
