Many of us will spend the final days of our lives in palliative care -- but many Canadians are unsure about what palliative care really is. Two years in the making, this moving documentary provides a window into the world of palliative care through the stories of the people who live and die there and the dedicated medical staff who provide care and support. The documentary was produced for the University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine, Department of Family Practice by Media Services at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, Canada and was shot at a number of different palliative care facilities in that city. "Faces of Palliative Care" shows that today, with new drugs and a collaborative approach to care, palliative care programs can provide comfortable and meaningful end of life experiences for patients and their families.

"What is Palliative Care?"
Short film 25 of 50 in the LIFE Before Death documentary series about the global crisis in untreated pain and the dramatic life changing effect palliative care services can deliver to patients and their families around the world.
In this short film we discover the nuances that best describe and define the life-changing practice of palliative care.
"One of the things we want to bring around the end of life is dignity," explains Dr Faith Mwangi-Powell (Uganda). "We want people to die with dignity and quality of life. If you talk to anybody who has lost a loved one, the greatest regret many people have is; 'I wish I had said goodbye'... At the end of life your value as a human being does not stop."
"Many people ask; What is Palliative Care?" reflects Dr Frank Ferris (USA). "I see it simply as therapeutic interventions trying to relieve, and even prevent, issues that cause suffering."
"Palliative Care is whole person care," states Dr Balfour Mount (Canada).
"We try to avoid pain, or when it starts, to manage it well," continues Dr Ferris. "And to deal with many other symptoms that might be experienced."
Palliative Care concentrates on the physical, psychological, social, anxiety, depression, family, existential, spiritual and financial aspects of care.
"It recognizes the profound importance of Cicely (Saunder's) term Total Pain," explains Dr Mount.
"It helps me manage the advancing illness as I approach the end of my life. It helps me prepare for the end of my life and specifically to manage all of the issues that arise during the dying process so that I can feel as comfortable as possible and have a safe transition as I die," reflects Dr Ferris.
"Whole person care is a central concept. But the foundation of the edifice of whole person care is excellence in physical care, good nursing care, good, knowledgeable, available medical input. This is not a place for amateur night. These are the sickest people in the health care system. They deserve the best care," insists Dr Mount.
Featuring Dr Faith Mwangi-Powell (Uganda), Dr Frank Ferris (USA), Dr Balfour Mount (Canada), Lorraine (USA) and Deanna (USA).
LIFE Before Death comprises 50 short films themed around pain control and end of life issues, releasing one a week for a year from May 2011.
A feature film was released in early 2012 and is available at http://www.lifebeforedeath.com

Palliative care
Palliative care is a multidisciplinary approach to specialised medical care for people with serious illnesses. It focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, physical stress, and mental stress of a serious illness—whatever the diagnosis. The goal of such therapy is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Palliative care is provided by a team of physicians, nurses, and other health professionals who work together with the primary care physician and referred specialists (or, for patients who don't have those, hospital or hospice staff) to provide an extra layer of support. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.
Physicians sometimes use the term palliative care in a sense meaning palliative therapies without curative intent, when no cure can be expected (as often happens in late-stage cancers). For example, tumor debulking can continue to reduce pain from mass effect even when it is no longer curative. A clearer usage is palliative, noncurative therapy when that is what is meant, because palliative care can be used along with curative or aggressive therapies.

"What is Palliative Care?"
Short film 25 of 50 in the LIFE Before Death documentary series about the global crisis in untreated pain and the dramatic life changing effect palliative care services can deliver to patients and their families around the world.
In this short film we discover the nuances that best describe and define the life-changing practice of palliative care.
"One of the things we want to bring around the end of life is dignity," explains Dr Faith Mwangi-Powell (Uganda). "We want people to die with dignity and quality of life. If you talk to anybody who has lost a loved one, the greatest regret many people have is; 'I wish I had said goodbye'... At the end of life your value as a human being does not stop."
"Many people ask; What is Palliative Care?" reflects Dr Frank Ferris (USA). "I see it simply as therapeutic interventions trying to relieve, and even prevent, issues that cause suffering."
"Palliative Care is whole person care," states Dr Balfour Mount (Canada).
"We try to avoid pain, or when it starts, to manage it well," continues Dr Ferris. "And to deal with many other symptoms that might be experienced."
Palliative Care concentrates on the physical, psychological, social, anxiety, depression, family, existential, spiritual and financial aspects of care.
"It recognizes the profound importance of Cicely (Saunder's) term Total Pain," explains Dr Mount.
"It helps me manage the advancing illness as I approach the end of my life. It helps me prepare for the end of my life and specifically to manage all of the issues that arise during the dying process so that I can feel as comfortable as possible and have a safe transition as I die," reflects Dr Ferris.
"Whole person care is a central concept. But the foundation of the edifice of whole person care is excellence in physical care, good nursing care, good, knowledgeable, available medical input. This is not a place for amateur night. These are the sickest people in the health care system. They deserve the best care," insists Dr Mount.
Featuring Dr Faith Mwangi-Powell (Uganda), Dr Frank Ferris (USA), Dr Balfour Mount (Canada), Lorraine (USA) and Deanna (USA).
LIFE Before Death comprises 50 short films themed around pain control and end of life issues, releasing one a week for a year from May 2011.
A feature film was released in early 2012 and is available at http://www.lifebeforedeath.com
The project is presented by the Lien Foundation and produced by Moonshine Movies.
It is also supported by The International Association for the Study of Pain, The Mayday Fund, The Union for International Cancer Control and The Institute for Palliative Medicine at San Diego Hospice International Programs.

There's a fascinating new theory about why the world plummets into ice ages every 100,000 years
Edit The Independent 27 Oct 2016
For the past million years or so, the Earth has gone through an ice age every 100,000 years. Nobody knows precisely why. Before that, colder summers occurred about every 40,000 years until the Earth entered a phase called the middle Pleistocene transition where the intervals became over twice as long.
