Opinions and feelings

2 interesting topics - decisions about end of life care and asking patients about thier faith raised as topics this week.

A friend working on the other side of the city is trying to write an information sheet for carers of end stage dementia patients entering the local EMI home to get relatives thinking about how and where their beloved might end their life.
A hard one to get right but definitely important.

Secondly a Facebook discussion, a 20 something friend who I don't really know very well posted on the site she was shocked when her GP asked if she had any faith to turn to. She thought it was inappropriate. I think it's a well phrased nice open question! Some comments agreed with me but some people thought it was inappropriate to ask as well. A hard one to judge again.
