Helping Frum Jews Die: What We Need to Know When It's Time to Die, with Dr. Blima Marcus (161)

In our last episode, Scott spoke with Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Brody about bringing greater awareness to issues associated with end-of-life and organ donation. This opened up an important conversation - but there's much more to say, particularly as it relates to clinical insights from people who actively work with dying patients and their families. To that end, Scott spoke with Dr. Blima Marcus, who was a guest in episode 81 of this podcast. Blimi spoke about the very serious questions regarding how Orthodox providers help frum Jews die, and the clinical, emotional, and psychological issues that are involved. It nicely complements the episode with Rabbi Brody, and also highlights a serious area of disagreement.

This was a very important conversation. As difficult and perhaps unpleasant as it is to talk about end-of-life, it's crucial that we confront it honestly and forthrightly so that, when the time comes for our loved ones, we'll be informed about the issues, and prepared to implement the patient's wishes.
