"Can you feel it? That idea? The curiosity? That wonder? Can you, do you feel it?

Happy #WorldHospiceAndPalliativeCareDay.
What if we in High Income Countries reclaimed dying?
Even more important, what if #PalliativeCare was available to more than 4% of people in low & middle income countries?

How have the last 8-months gone?
How has *your* "real life experience" been?
Might some of the implications of what's happening be found in struggle & 'unwillingness' of some, of maybe too many who maybe thought "privilege" might, "by rule", be what protects their own "Science", work & investments?
