Video: Let's talk about dying
Current situation
More and more people die in intensive care
Why?
Terminal illness
Organ failure
Sudden death
Frailty (a loss of capabilities during ageing)
Main problems
Death is an enormous stress both for a person and his or her nearest and dearest
People tend to avoid thinking about the end of their lives
Is there something positive nowadays?
Life expectancy is increasing, so death is postponed
What can be done in order to improve this situation?
Local issue
Conversations with patients about the fact that they will die and what would they prefer under these circumstances
Getting information about people who will make a crucial decision in case of patient's inability to speak for himself or herself
Global issue
Process of death should be reclaimed from a medicalized model ("natural death")
