Keren Arfi tells us why being a palliative nurse is a vocation rather than a profession.
Keren lucidly explains that the critical role of a palliative nurse or doctor is to sympathetically listen to the patients and to their families, and to clarify what could be done to ameliorate the condition of the patients, rather than tell them how to approach the end of life.
The listeners who are familiar with Peter Singer’s somewhat rigid utilitarianism would find Keren’s humane perspective comforting and, well, humane.
