July 13: Medical Assistance in Dying with B.C. MAID doctor Ellen Wiebe
Manage episode 428745391 series 2342620
MAID. Medical Assistance in Dying. Canadian federal law Bill C-7 allows a person in Canada who meets specific medical/health criteria to be granted MAID. Still contested by various individuals and groups, increasingly Canadians are dying with a physician's or nurse practitioner's direct assistance. We speak with a BC family doctor who has, by her own estimate, helped more than 400 patients to die.
Guest: Dr. Ellen Wiebe. Former family physician, now co-director of the Willow Clinic in Vancouver and board member and research director of the Canadian Association of MAID Assessors and Providers.
