A colleague has written this, which I think nicely sums up some of the reasons I have mixed feelings about the #AssistedDying bill. No simple right answers here; just tradeoffs - but hopefully we can recognise and help those who are at risk. www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

I consulted marginalised groups on the assisted dying bill – there is fear
The Terminally Ill Adults Bill offers a choice to a small but important group of people who want the option of assisted dying.

I wrote this (pseudonymously if you've seen it before!) some years ago, inspired by the selfless acts some patients and families make at the end. And I often end up thinking about it at this time of year - particularly this year seeing some amazing examples of what it can mean. Merry Christmas!
'Twas the night before Christmas; all through ICU
Not a patient was stirring, not even bed 2.
The propofol hung on the dripstand with care
With hopes that the day-shift soon would be there.

When outside the door there arose such a clatter
I sprang from the desk to see what was the matter.
I found my trainee with a porter and nurse
And moribund patient; I've rarely seen worse.

"Haemorrhage, hypoxia, resp effort was poor.
Tubed down in resus with sats through the floor.
Into deep coma with thiopentone,
But maybe too late - both his pupils are blown."

"He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
Near a sleigh full of toys he was limp on the ground
With eight distraught reindeer just wand'ring around."

As night turned to day we assembled a plan;
Was there aught we could do to assist this poor man?
Carbon monoxide from breathing in smoke
Had done nothing to help when he'd suffered this stroke.

His brainstem infarcted; we called in his wife
And told Mrs Claus of the end of his life.
She listened in silence, then spoke out at last:
"He'd want to help others now that he has passed."

'Twas the last hour of Christmas; and off down the hall
Goes Santa, deliv'ring his best gift of them all.
