| 22 Oct 2019 | Understanding Grief, with Heather Bousada | 00:52:22 | |
Dr. Alan Wolfelt's website: Resource Optimization Network website: https://www.resourceoptimizationnetwork.com/ Follow us on twitter: @Kwadcast Like our Facebook page: Please send your comments/feedback to kwadcast99@gmail.com Transcript for this episode: Kwadwo: 00:37 Heather Bousada, welcome to the podcast. Thank you very much. Um, do you remember how we met? Gosh, that was a long time ago. Long time ago. Cause if you off the hook, I don't actually remember how we met, but I do remember how I met your husband. So to the listener, I was playing hockey game and he, he didn't know, he didn't know who I was and I, I approached him after the game after a hard fought game, which I think we won by the way. You guys were dirty. We were done. And I approached Chris and I said, Hey, I know your wife. And he's like, what did you just say to me? Oh I really know your wife. Heather: 01:31 And then he did recognize you. Yeah. And that I explained that to everybody in the teleconference one. Yes. Unknowingly. Kwadwo: 01:40 Well thanks for doing this Heather. It means a lot. And so maybe we could start off with what does a day in the life of the Heather Bousada look like, whether it's at the hospital doing what you do or in your work with grief. Heather: 01:57 Yeah. Uh, well it's busy. It's very busy, but, uh, most of my time spent in the palliative care and the palliative care team and I also work in medicine and I've worked with you in ICU, but, uh, I, you know, my love and passion is palliative care and grief. So a lot of my days spent with the palliative care team, meeting families and patients and talking about terminal illness and impact it has on the family and their goals and their hopes and their dreams and basically what's happened to them and providing them support through that very difficult time Kwadwo: 02:32 and crazy hours long days is that Heather: 02:36 they're long days, they're long days. And sometimes I walk out of here pulling my hair and other times I'm like, wow, I feel like I was able to make a difference, you know? And that feels good. Yeah, Kwadwo: 02:45 absolutely. One thing that I do appreciate that you guys do is, you know, I run into, I'll have a family meeting or two in the afternoon and I feel emotionally I'd, no, I actually just physically, emotionally and physically exhausted. You're doing this every day. Heather: 03:05 Yeah. Well we all are in healthcare, aren't we? We're having really difficult conversations all the time. I don't think, I think, uh, one of my colleagues I was talks about if we only had a GoPro, I don't think people would believe what we go through in a day in terms of the conversations that we have. They're really detailed. Intimate people are at their worst times often, right? And trying to make really serious decisions, um, on, not sometimes for themselves, but oftentimes families are having to make that for their loved one and they, they're not sure what to do when they're feeling stressed and scared and they're not understanding how, or, you know, looking for support. And feeling in a world that's not part of their typical day. Right? Yeah. Kwadwo: 03:49 Imagine you literally can't imagine being in the spots that and, right. Like, it's not something that you think about, dream about, it's just, Heather: 03:58 well, people don't get practice at this right now, let's say to people like, it's not something you sign up for. And then all of a sudden you find yourself in the hospital having to have conversations about end of life, either for yourself or your family. And it's, it's a, it's, you don't get practice at it. Right? Yeah. Kwadwo: 04:15 So we'll talk about some of the details of, you know, these difficult conversations in a bit, but you have a expertise in grief counseling and what are some of the things that you wish more people knew about the grieving process? Heather: 04:34 Yeah, that's a, it's a huge topic. You know, it's, it is my passion and not only for patients and families, but expecially for health care providers. You know, one of my passions lately is that, uh, as healers, we need to be okay, right? We need to, we're doing some really serious work here. And if we're not understanding, you know, for having to go through our own grief and mourning through loss of a family member, you know, I see it all the time, I see at the hospital and people are coming to me and you know, oftentimes they feel like what is going on. You know, I used to be able to take care of five, 10 people. Now all of a sudden just taking care of one person, I feel like completely overwrought and I don't know what's going on with me. Right. And sometimes just having conversation about what it is and what's happening to them, to their body, to their mind, um, really kind of helps take off. Heather: 05:21 Oh, OK. Cause we're not only a death denying culture, but we really, um, you know, there's that whole, whether it's implicit or explicit out there that you got to buck up, right? You got to buck up, you got to get on with it. Um, you know, have a stiff upper lip and you know, people are looked at as courageous if, Oh, they look so strong. They haven't even cried. Not everybody cries, but there's that sense of, you know, if you're only being strong, if you're, you know, just keep moving forward. But the interesting part about grief and mourning is it's not about moving forward. Everything we do in grief and mourning is about going backwards. So I mean, if you look at grief and mourning, and I think that's an important part, I, well one I want to start with a lot of my approach degree from morning is from dr Alan Wolfelt. Heather: 06:06 He has a companion and approach and that's where my training is from. Um, as a social worker, I've also, I've gone down, there's a center for loss and life transitions and it's actually really a wonderful approach. And I, I heard dr Wolfville years ago and you know, just working in this field, I, when he talked about what grief and mourning as in going from the head to the heart, really it was what it's about. And it's that, um, that journey that we experienced that it just resonated with me, but it's throughout our system, right? So like if you look at brief families or the hospices, the Canadian military, the American military, they have also adopted this approach because it's a, it's meeting people not from the head and the intellect. It's meeting people with the heart, right? It's companioning somebody and companion is means to break bread and it's like sitting down with somebody and actually saying, you know what, I'm not necessarily the expert in what your relationship was with that person or what you went through, but I have some tools and I have an open, compassionate heart to be able to explore. What was that loss like for you? Right. Kwadwo: 07:11 I feel like that's a big fear for a lot of people. It's like when you know somebody has experienced a loss, I can't count how many times people say, I do not know what to say to them. I do not know what to do. I don't know what to bring. I, you know, it's, it's awkward for awkward for some people, some people, and even as a palliative care doc that in certain circumstances where it's like, you know, I literally, I'm not sure what to tell this person. Heather: 07:41 Yeah. And there's actually, we can talk about that a little bit later, but I think it's important to start off with like, you know, there's a lot of jargon out there, you know, brave man grief, mourning, like people throw out the words, right? But it's really, it's important to understand what the concepts mean, right? So that you can make some sense of it. So when you're looking at at, for instance, bereavement, it's a loss of a loved one. But what, what's really fascinating about the word is it actually means that the Latin root word of it means to be torn apart. So, um, you know, it's amazing whether it's here or people would call me when I was doing my private practice with grief counseling and in some shape or form, they would be describing that their world has been blown apart. Right. Um, and that's basically what it is, is that your world's been torn apart. Heather: 08:28 But the, the, the grief is important cause it's the grief is there are internal thoughts and feelings. So unless you're a sociopath, you're gonna feel that loss, right? When you love somebody, I mean, grief and love are the flip side of the same coin, right? Cause if you love somebody, you're gonna feel that loss. So it's the thoughts and feelings. But where we get stuck is people just have that feeling, right? They have that feeling, but they're not sure. So they're not sure how to process it. Right? And we don't get taught that and everybody's teaching them to, Oh, just move on. Right? But where the real work is in the morning, right? And that's the part that, um, that I tried to help people understand and, and how to kind of go about doing that. Like the morning is the outward expression of that grief. Heather: 09:11 So emotions need motion. Um, so the more that you, it's a social, a shared response to loss. Sometimes it can be specific to one's culture or rituals that you might do. But unless you're sharing that loss and expressing it and um, and I see it all the time with patients and families, once you get them to start talking about that relationship and who that person was, you can see the movement, right? It's a natural unfolding. You know, people think of it as like mental health. It's grief and mourning is a natural thing that we all go through, right? Unfortunately we like to avoid pain and suffering, but we will experience it and it can't get people around it. You got to go through it. But in that journey is as a really kind of beauty in it in terms of recognizing what you've experienced and how you then integrate it. I mean, grief is, if you really look at it, it's, it's moving from one of physical presence, um, to one of memory. That's the ultimate shift that what you're doing in the morning work, right? So again, you're moving that from physical presence to one American memory and you're integrating that into your new life, right? There is no new norm. There's a new normal now, right? You can't go back to the old normal as a new normal. So you're integrating that. Kwadwo: 10:28 Wow. So there's a lot there. So one thing actually, so Heather maybe talk a bit about what to expect when you're going through that process. Yeah. Obviously there's going to be a lot of distraught pain, you know, there's that new normal as you described, but what are some of the things that people might expect? Heather: 10:57 Yeah. Like for yourself and other people. Yeah, and that's what I find fascinating is um, people don't understand, like people think, assume it's a, it's just an emotional response, right? But it's the totality of your whole being, right? It affects you physically, cognitively, socially as spiritual ritually. And especially if, if I make reference to the healthcare workers, we need to be game on, right? So like as yourself, as an ICU doctor, you need to be there. You need to be present. But if you're going through a lot, us, you are, um, not only physically your body, you get extreme fatigue. Uh, you exhausted your appetite. You know, 80% of people lose their appetite, 10% gain another 10% that are neutral sleep disturbance. You know, so often people will tell me, you know, they're quick to go to bed to sleep cause they're so exhausted, but they wake up frequently, right? Heather: 11:53 Um, so you're not getting a lot of sleep. Your immune system's down, right? Cause you're in this critical state, like you're in this hyper arousal because you've got this in either an impending loss or a loss, right? So, um, physically it's affecting you emotionally. You've got like multitude. There's no, you can find many different feelings at once and it comes in waves, right? Um, and cognitive is, it was interesting part, especially with healthcare is that healthcare workers is you, you know, we multitask, right? We're constantly multitasking and, and life and death. Like you're making life and death decisions. Um, and you all of a sudden you're, and it's, there's a lot of research on it and uh, people will start to, uh, you'll find it's difficult to concentrate. Um, it more irritable. Uh, the multitasking often goes right out the window. Um, so all of a sudden you're like, wow, you know what's, and that's where people often in healthcare come to me and say, I don't know what's going on, but you know, I was used to, I would could do this with my eyes closed. Heather: 12:54 Now I can't even, um, you know, concentrate on, on two patients that I have. Um, I mean I, for a personal example, I remember I've been in palliative care like for 19 years and I remember when my own mom was, um, uh, terminally ill and she was in the hospital and I went with my team to go meet a patient and the doctor and the nurse and myself when we sat down. And sometimes you're not aware of it, right? Cause you're so in grossed and what's happening that you're not really aware of how difficult it is for you. So I remember sitting there listening to the nurse and the doctor talked to the patient a conversation I have every day and I couldn't even process what they were saying. At least I had the wherewithal to go, wow, I shouldn't be here. Yeah, I need to step back. Heather: 13:42 And, and I did, I stepped back. I mean it cause it's cognitive that couldn't wrap my brain around it. Like what was going on, what was being said. Um, yeah. And this was fairly recent. Oh, about four years ago. Yeah. Um, and uh, recently with my dad. But uh, yeah, it, it, uh, it's, it's good to recognize it. Right? It's important for, uh, for people in general, but especially for healthcare workers that they're not doing a bad job. That there's nothing wrong with them. They're going to the natural processes of grieving. Right. Yeah. We talked a bit about this beforehand. It's a very unique scenario for health care providers to try and take care of others. Yeah. You definitely, yeah. You know, like for the reasons you mentioned prior about how unique it is for health care workers, you're literally taking care of people. You're seeing death and dying every, yeah. Kwadwo: 14:52 And then when they experienced the loss, when they're not able to think as clearly when they see that emotional tie to their dad or their mom or whoever might have experienced loss, you know, I don't know if we talk about that enough. I don't know if we support each other enough. Heather: 15:12 And I don't think, I mean, I don't think it's through bad intention. It's, again, it's a, it's a S a social, cultural Mileah of, of Western society in general. We don't tend to talk about pain and suffering. Dewey, you know, we talk about being happy, being independent and um, eh, so to talk about pain and suffering, we don't, when we don't often teach our children about it either. Right? So I'm often talking to families about how do you help children through the loss or the are about to lose someone important to them because we're not taught. Right? So all of a sudden when we're faced with it, we don't know what to do. And as health care providers in general, um, you know, whether your community or in a hospital, uh, we want to take it on. But if we're not understanding, we should be the very role models and understanding because we're going to be out there trying to heal others and if we are not healed ourself are not going to be up to speed. Right. Yeah. Kwadwo: 16:06 It's, it's very much that cause the culture in medicine. Like I try not to get too personal, but you know, when I, I found out my dad passed away, it was a Thursday while I was on ICU and it didn't even occur to me to get somebody to cover, you know, it was just sort of ingrained in me like that plug away. And I didn't even tell anybody. Okay. I told them one person actually TP, just a just thing. So I just want it to have that kind of, um, security in case things became overwhelming during that time period. But, uh, yeah, it's for whatever reason, it's that culture, it's that talk about it, let's grind away at what we're doing. Even, you know, healthcare aside, even had a conversation with somebody that, that recently relatively recently experienced a loss, you know, and it was kinda like you alluded to at the beginning where it's like, I just want to do a bunch of stuff that keeps my mind off it and all I think about this and maybe it's worth diving into more, what are the consequences of not letting things sink in of always running? Heather: 17:34 Well, I mean, when you look at, um, the six central needs of mourning, like through the companioning model, one of the things is, um, acknowledging, um, the reality of the death, right? And they're not stages, right? You can come back and forth, back and forth, but primarily initially you're trying to acknowledge the reality of the death, right? And depending on the circumstances, um, that may take weeks, right? So like for instance, if people don't actually get to see the body, you know, say somebody died overseas and they regret it, that acknowledging the reality, the reality of what that the person is gone. Again, remember, grief is about one of physical presence to one a memory. So you haven't actually been there to see it. It's hard to integrate it into ourselves. Right? So, um, and then, you know, and then we start to identify or start to, um, embrace the pain of the loss, right? Heather: 18:31 And our body and our mind has this wonderful ability to be able to do that. So like it's about encountering innovating. So it's okay. Like our mind can't take it all in at once. Right? So our mind has a guy call it nature's anesthetic. So when we need initially have the loss of somebody, we, our body has this way of kind of numbing us a little bit and it's just because it otherwise it's too overwhelming and it ends as that numbing starts to kind of wear off a little bit and the reality of that person gone starts to set in that the pain really comes out. And that's actually the hard part. Like that's actually when I would find, I would get calls for grief counseling was around that stage. So, you know, somebody passed on, they have all this family and friends coming to provide them with support. Heather: 19:19 Um, and their new normal hasn't really introduced themselves yet, right? Because they're still living in that world of that person being there. Cause everybody's around, right. And then as people start to go back to their normal day lives and people that are the person, the bereaved person's left and they just looking around going, Whoa, what happened? You know, where is that person? I'm, you know, I'm used to getting up every day and having a coffee and then we head off to work and then we come home and we do this. That's not, that's not there anymore. So then the pain starts to come in. And that's when people would call me and they'd say, I don't know what's going on. Like I thought it was doing okay, what? Now I'm just like, this is awful. This really is painful. And, and, and that's when I'd say, well, I can't get you around it, but you know what? Heather: 20:07 There's a way to go through it. Right. And that's where the remembering that, you know, the morning comes in remembering the person who's died, right? And it's that work. And I see it not only in grief like a post-death, but I see in palliative care, it's really kind of that wonderful transition, you know, where you see families initially like, wow, I can't believe this is happening. No, it can't be in there in crisis. Right? And they're questioning the diagnosis and the prognosis and what's going on and they're in this state of helplessness. Right? Um, and then as you develop this kind of, um, time to give them space, uh, to answer their questions, provide education and support and of honor the process that's going on. It's this beautiful movement that you see, right? As they shift from the head to the heart and acknowledging that person's about to pass. And I love that, you know, after like a while, and you walk in the room and they're all sitting around the bedside and they're sitting vigil and they're sharing stories and they're laughing and they're crying. You see that morning work coming in, right? And that starts there. And it's really quite a beautiful process. And it's not that they want their loved ones to pass, but they're, they're acknowledging it, right? And they're giving honor to that person. And that's a really wonderful thing to be doing. Kwadwo: 21:23 Yeah. And I mean, I could speak also from the clinical side. I think you would agree with me on this being part of that, being in that privileged part of being, of watching them go navigate through these tough times. And the very reason I got into palliative care was those moments and the life where you're sitting with the family, you're talking about uncle Gus funny jokes at Christmas and that funny outfit he wore at Halloween and you're laughing and you're crying in here and you're just, you're being present. Heather: 22:05 Yeah. You're honoring the joy. The love. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, it's, it's incredible. I know. Cause people haven't say, well, how can you work in palliative care? It's, I'm not, it's not about the dead, it's about the living, right. It's about honoring the living and uh, it's that, it's that it's life, it's life affirming. Right. And it's really quite life affirming. Yeah. Kwadwo: 22:26 So maybe we could speak to what to do to help our fellow employee, our fellow nurse or a fellow loved one, navigate through this process. Cause once again, come like I alluded to at the beginning, sometimes a lot of people just don't know what to do. They want to say to, you know, send them a song. Do you, you know, I can write a Paul, what do you do? What's the best advice that we could give people listening. Heather: 22:58 Yeah. Well, you know, whether you're talking to a colleague or families that are going through it is it's important just to meet them where they're at, right? That's the first step. Um, because again, like grief is about, I'm going backwards before going forwards. It's about saying hello before you ever say goodbye. And what we tend to do is in our society in general, we tend to want to move things forward, right? Sometimes that's because it makes us feel better. But really that person, like when you're working in healthcare, people will often notice that, uh, families will keep going back to questions and keep going back. Well, why did that happen? And did, did we do the right thing? And, and it can be frustrating sometimes cause you think, Oh my God, I've told them how many times. Right. But it's because mourning there actually. And that's where I say, okay, you know, just take a moment because they're going backwards. Heather: 23:51 I just had a family recently and lovely daughter's sitting vigil by the bedside and they kept going back and I kept going back. And then finally I just sat down and I said, can I describe a little bit about grief and mourning to you? And I did. I sat down and I talked about what is grief, what is mourning and what we need to do in that process. Um, and uh, I said a lot of it is about going backwards. And I said, and that's what you're doing. So I'm going to honor that and I'm gonna answer your questions, but I want you to know that that's what you're doing right now. And they just kind of went, Oh, okay. I see. Okay. Cause otherwise they think, well, why I'm going crazy. These questions are driving me nuts, you know? Yeah. Kwadwo: 24:30 That really is enlightening because I got to tell you, without knowing this as a clinician sometimes I'm like, I've answered this question three times. I'm like, what's happening? And I always related it to being in shock because of all the things I going through, which is totally understandable. But what you're saying makes a lot of sense. We James downer, he's initiating an ICU study actually on bereavement and this was quite eye opening for me. Like ICU. A lot of the families have tons of questions after they leave us and you know, not being on that side, like I've never had a loved one in ICU and I wouldn't know what it would be like to hear that information on, you know, your loved ones dying and trying to process all that, you know, and in that time frame. But hearing James speak to the matter, it's like a lot of these people are, have questions after they have all these kind of, uh, concerns that, you know, there's no real process to, to help navigate and, and my whole, I mean, the whole point of doing this podcast, the whole point of doing what we do is to help others and to help them reduce their pain. Kwadwo: 25:55 And so, you know, it's, I hope this is at least helpful also too, a lot of the clinicians out there hearing these things and, you know, it really comes down to being, making time, being present, not giving the bullshit answer of like, all you'll get through it and we'll move through this, you know, your warrior move forward. But to sit with them, you know, sit with them and hear them out and we don't need to give a rah rah speech every time we see them. It's just being present, acknowledging it's hard. Heather: 26:27 Yeah. It's especially difficult in ICU because the unexpectedness often, right. Right. So that's another flavor entirely around it. So, um, again, so they're in that unexpectedness and so moving from the head to the heart, it's not about what, you know, it's what you feel right in grief. So when you've got somebody in a try, usually a tragic situation in ICU and uh, that, that kind of reality of the loss is going to take them a little bit more time. Right. It's, you know, it's gone from zero to a hundred and like one minute of their lives often. Right. So, yeah, that's a whole other flavor as well. Um, and trying to, to help them through that. So yeah, they're going to have a lot of questions cause they're trying to kind of, their mind is trying to connect with their heart in terms of what just happened and just then trying to acknowledge that person. Right. So hadn't how that's transformed and transition for them. So sext or work for sure. Yeah. Kwadwo: 27:34 You've experienced loss in your life. You lost your both parents relatively recently, especially your dad was just December, December, coming up and coming up here and I want to know how it's affected you as a grief counselor or a social worker in hospital. Do you feel Heather: 28:00 it's changed? Heather: 28:03 Um, well, typical social worker is going to redirect it back to you, but uh, yeah, of course it does. It, it, uh, you know, that's when I talk about the beauty and grief and mourning, people go, wow, was she talking about, um, but when you've had a loss yourself, like we can all kind of relate to it, right? You know, there's empathy and sympathy, you know, sympathy is, you know, I feel sorry for you. Empathy is, let me understand what you're going through. And the big buzz word now is compassion is meeting somebody heart to heart. You know what? Suffering is a shared risk. We all go through it, right? We all so when you've gone through a loss, and if you don't mind me saying, so quad Joe, I remember in your Facebook after your, I think your dad's anniversary. Okay. To talk about, um, I loved what you wrote because you said, um, that it made you a better doctor. Heather: 29:00 And it's not like you're going to sit with your families and patients and like whale and cry, but you know what it is to be human and you know, what loss means and how painful it can be and that we all are in that together. You know, the world's a mystery. Do I have all the answers to everything? No. Do you know, but we, we recognize in our fellow man that that sense of pain and suffering and, you know, when I'd have like the F the patients or clients that I had in grief counseling, I think almost everyone said to me something along the lines of, you know, I never really understood it, you know, um, until I felt it myself and I feel more for other people. Yeah. I can relate to their pain more. Like one lady had said to me, uh, you know, so-and-so lost their mom recently at work and last year I would've probably thought, Oh, whatever, just hurry up and get back to work. Yeah. But she said, you know what, now I look at her and I, I go over and I give her a hug. And I said, wow, this is hard, isn't it? Yeah. You know, welcome to the club kind of thing. You know, the shared human existence. And uh, that's the beauty I'm talking about. Right. And to connect again to say, wow, you know, this is how we, this is what we go through. Right? Kwadwo: 30:20 Yeah. I, I gotta tell you the, after going through it, the way I see people that are now going through a loss is, I want to say it's a completely different, but I am, I'm there, I understand more where they're coming from until the empathy and the compassion. It's inevitable. And one thing that I did totally appreciate is you take it almost tell by how someone hugs you if they've experienced lost themselves recently or not. Like the like meaningful bear hug would usually come from people that like, I know what's going down, I know how you feel around. Um, but yeah, it's amazing. Like I that did give me personally a lot of solace knowing that you can make good out of the bad situation. I mean, it sounds cheesy, but I truly believe I'm a more compassionate, compassionate, dark. Now. I think I'm more present when someone's telling me about loss and now I give less of a damn too. I'm like, I don't think I'd be doing this show if it wasn't for experiencing loss and knowing how, you know, like can just be done. And so let's live now Heather: 31:45 for [inaudible]. You did the, you, you took the time to do the morning work. Right? And that, that's where sometimes people get stuck because they don't know what it is. They understand they're feeling this awfulness but they don't know how to move it. Right. And what you did learn about that and you shared, you had a social response to it, right? You share to everybody what it was like for you and you worked with your family and you started to move in that process. And it's not that it wasn't painful, but in, in some respects you were able to move, right? You moved from that physical presence of your dad to want a memory. Cause I mean, death ends a life. It doesn't end a relationship. Kwadwo: 32:24 Interesting. Heather: 32:25 And yeah, that's, that's really powerful. And because it does it, you will forever have a relationship with that person. It's integrating into that your new normal and your new identity that they're not there in your life anymore physically. But they're still really powerfully there all the time. I mean, I know with your dad and even with my mom, as I get older, I can look back at my mom and go, Oh wow. Yeah, she's just, we're all just human beings trying to do the best we can. Right. You know, and as you evolve and you go through your own life transitions, you go back to that relationship, right. And you see it differently. It evolves just like as you evolve. Kwadwo: 33:05 Yeah, no, it's, it's true. This is why I want to do on the show. I like, I'm a bio to care doc. I'm an ICU doc. I see death all the time. And after experiencing it at a, with my father, it was, I didn't know all this stuff. I didn't expect all this physical, spiritual, mental difficulties that were to, uh, that I experience. And so I really think it's important to share this with people, to be able to be open, to be there for their fellow man or woman and be less of a denying culture. And I really think we will go a lot further if we approach this with open arms. Heather: 33:58 Yeah, absolutely. And by not only the, you know, the public, but especially as healthcare workers, we need to kind of honor that. What that happens to each other and to be, do we all have to be grief counselors? No, but do we all have a responsibility and maybe, uh, to be more aware so that when we see our fellow colleagues who would go, Hey, yeah, okay, I get it. I get it. Okay. They're not just being lazy or they're just, they're just self-pitying. There's actually something going on in there. Like, even like people just sitting vigil, like when they're sitting with their loved ones dying, I will say to them, you know, I talk a lot about self care to them because even though you're just sitting there, you're running a mini marathon inside, right? Because so much is going on and processing and there. Heather: 34:45 So I remind them, I said, you know, you're mint, your body's physically running a mini marathon. Make sure you drink, make sure you get some rest. You gotta be good to yourself. Um, and it's the same thing when we're grieving, right? There's a lot like it's, so if I, if you had a broken leg, I wouldn't be expecting you to be running around the hospital. Just, you can't see it. You can't see when somebody's grieving. Right? So, but I, it's what dr Wolfelt says, he actually gives out pins. I love it. It says, uh, if you're in grief, you put a pin called under construction. Yeah. And it just gets your mankind to say, Hey, you know, I'm slower right now. Be patient with me. There's a lot going on in here and you can't see it. But it's there. Right. Kwadwo: 35:26 So you, you even brought up a point too when we were talking earlier about the house, just some cultures, like, you know, they're grieving based on attire. So it's like part of the culture to Heather: 35:38 be able to whether visual or, um, take time with the loved ones. But that's part of, yeah. Well that's a fascinating part is that we've, we've moved away from that, right? People used to die in the home, you know, grandma and grandpa lived with us or extended family and uh, they didn't tend to die in the hospitals. Like what 70% of people die in the hospitals now it's often removed. So it's often away from us. So, um, you know, before people would die, the was a national part of life, right? And now it's kind of removed from us. Um, and before like, like maybe what, 80, a hundred years ago, uh, if you're a widow, do, you'd be wearing black and you'd be walking around. But what's wonderful about that is you'd be walking around in your black attire and you would start to do the morning work. Cause people would stop you and say, Hey, you know who passed away? Heather: 36:34 Was it George, your husband? Yeah, I did. And he started talking about George, right? And then you're that shared response to loss. It starts to evolve and you get to talk about that person. And so it's a wonderful thing, right? But we've moved away from, we're not supposed to talk about it, so I'm comfortable. Um, and that's healing. It's incredibly healing. That's incredibly healing. And you know, people often have, you know, just a little tidbit, like people are afraid to say, Oh, I saw so and so when I don't want to say anything. Uh, I know they just lost their mom, but, uh, I don't want to remind them of the death. Well, I'll tell you what, they know that person's died, but when you say something to them, what you're doing is you're reminding them that person lived and that's the part that really needs to be done. Heather: 37:21 I remember recently actually a shout out to cam on a five and medicine. Um, yeah, as I said, my dad passed away in December. And is this a, this is part of what I'm talking about is she did this, and I don't even think she knows, maybe she does now. Um, but I was sitting at the five nursing station just charting and uh, she came over to me and I forgot that she taken care of, both of my parents were in their hospital and then she started talking to me about travel or something and then she started to say, Oh yeah, your dad's from Scotland and you told me about this. And he said this. And he, she started sharing stories and I was like, wow, that's my dad. He was like, wow, he is in the room for a moment. It's like, I got a piece of my dad. Heather: 38:03 And I was like, wow. She just did some amazing morning work and she didn't even realize it. That's, uh, that's the funny part is when I talked to nurses or other healthcare providers about grief and mourning, it's just sometimes as simple as like going into the room of somebody who's, you know, terminally ill and picking up the photo frame and saying to the husband, Oh, I love this photo. What's going on here? And then you see that kind of often stiff and often I've, I don't think I've ever remembered anybody not wanting to share. Right. And then they start talking about that person and um, they're, they're moving, they're, you know, they're trans and that's what we, it's so important. So vital. Kwadwo: 38:41 Wow. I think, I hope it serves a little bit as a inspiration to a lot of people seeing patients out there like take that time. It doesn't, it's a little like, you think I'm learning about doing, we shows and so far it's like they really is a little things like literally looking up that picture and saying, wow, look at that. Look are from a few years back. Heather: 39:08 Yeah. Oh yeah. Do you see the smile on their faces when you do that? Yeah. Well, it's kind of like, you know, people don't really want to know what you have to say unless they know you care. And like more like for physicians that's really important, right? Cause you're sitting down giving really bad news and you're making recommendations and if you're doing it from a, you know, intellectual kind of, this is what it is and people aren't going to respond as well. But if you sit down and say, Hey, you know, this is tough, tell me a little bit about whoever it is in the bed and then start to work from there and say, okay, well this is what's going on. And they feel like that person's in the room, that they're not just a number and just another person to take up a bed. But they're real, that they mean a lot to them. Right. Kwadwo: 39:53 Wow. Some good shit. Yo, I hope you all are buying in. Um, last couple of things, uh, while I have you have there. Okay. So just to give some context, Heather's got like, I don't know how many guardian angel things on our, on our, uh, [inaudible] lanyard on your land planning yard when you're, yeah, she got about seven guardian angels on her lanyard, which is like weighing her down actually. She actually walks with a limp. It's crazy. Um, so just to give you a sense of how giving and how much love she gets at the Ottawa hospital, but can you share a story where, you know, you've been appreciated because we, you know, we appreciate you all every day, but like, Heather: 40:47 yeah. Um, yeah, I'm so bad at names, but I never forget a story. Like I almost remember stories when people tell me them, well, I guess recent, like I always, if somebody passed at the hospital, I always make a point of giving them a followup call because it's not part of my protocol, but I think it's essential because all of a sudden you've got all this support at the hospital, people are coming in and talking to you, and then your loved one dies and then boom, you totally disconnected. Right. And they may have questions and worries. So I always generally give them a call after. So, Heather: 41:24 and I love to hear about how they're doing. But I think recently I had a family. Um, if father husband was dying, two older sons and a lovely family, just, just beautiful the salt of the earth. And you can see how much they loved this man and you could see it walking in the room. And that, that journey I talked about where it was like, Oh my God, what's going on? Can't we do this? Can't we do that? You know, that like that helpless. I think one of my favorite quotes in grief is, uh, by C S Lewis, he wrote Narnia. I used to have it in my grief office. Um, no one ever told me that grief felt so much like fear. Wow. Cause it is, it's, it's absolute like, it's, uh, an insult to your identity. It's an insult to your safety and security. And it's an insult. Heather: 42:13 Well, men, since [inaudible] insults a strong word but affects your sense of meaning, right? So much unknown. People are terrified and you see that and there's no where in this world where you feel more helpless when you're not able to stop what's happening and you're watching this deterioration. So I S I witnessed this family, um, in that state and then as we evolved and we talked and we shared and they have some education and understanding of our own what's happening, that really cool family just kind of sat in this tight two bedroom in the hospital. But I would open up the curtain and I would just go, wow, this is so much sacredness right here. Wow. You guys haven't nailed. Like even though it was in a tight, awful kind of setting, they made it beautiful, you know, just that honor. And you could hear the stories and the children were coming and um, we actually, I got the kids to do a hug blanket, which is something I love doing with the kids. Heather: 43:11 So, you know, if the kids can't be there all the time or they need to feel part of it, you know, you're old enough to love your old enough degree. Right. That's very important. So I've got the kids do a hug blanket where they kind of draw their arms on it and write all over the blanket and then they put it over the grandfather. So they had done that. And so you walk in there and you'd see this beautiful blanket and all the kids riding on it and everybody just loving this man, you know? So when I called afterwards and I spoke to the family, uh, they had sat Shivah and they had brought out the hug blanket. So when people would come over and, you know, people come over and pay their respects and all that, they would bring out the blanket and they'd share about it. Heather: 43:50 I was so touched. I was like, wow, that's beautiful. Like that was really, uh, that just, yeah, that was really beautiful. Wow. Eh, before ending, I know there was another, speaking of about some pretty cool initiatives at a conference you went to recently. Yeah. The normal, if you want to mention that. Yeah. Well, grief and mourning in general is really misunderstood and it's, um, in a lot of myths and misconceptions about it. And oftentimes when you just really trying to sit and tell people about it, they really feel more understanding about what's happening. Um, and it's been kind of one of my, um, ones I want to bring more forward to the healthcare community cause we're supposed to be at, man, we're supposed to be the mentors. We're supposed to know what this is all about. This is what we deal with every day. But yet there is a loss in that. Heather: 44:45 There's, there's not a lot of understanding around it for, um, you know, especially for each other. Right. And we really need to bring that forward, um, to support each other as we go through these really difficult times. Right. Um, and not to feel that what's wrong with us and I'm going to lose my job and you know, we need to be supported and no matter where we are, what other, what agency or what company we work for, we all need to feel that way. Um, but when I went to recently the Canadian hospice palliative care, or did I have to say that Canadian hospice palliative care association, they had a conference recently here in Ottawa and, uh, because it's been one of my babies about, and, and I think it's partly because people like you and other doctors and nurses and managers have come to me because they are like, what is going on with me? Heather: 45:31 I don't understand this. Like, wow, like something I just assume everybody knows go. No, it's really not understood. And then we start to beat ourselves up. You know, what's wrong with me that I'm not moving on. And, um, so I wanted to bring this more to our workplace. Right. How can we help other, each other cause, and so part of this conference there was, I went to one of the workshops and I was really excited. Uh, it was a lady, uh, just spoke to her, Karen Brownrigg. Actually, I did ask her if it's okay to say her name on this. She said, yeah. So under the Canadian hospice palliative care association, they have something called Canadian compassionate companies. So they recognize that this grief and taking, you know, the stress of caring for somebody who's terminally ill, it's a chronic condition. So the policies and procedures that are in most institutions in places of work are behind the times because they're not aligned with how things are now in society. Heather: 46:28 Um, you know, modern technology, advancement of science. I mean, you see it all the time, how we people are living longer and often living longer though with chronic illnesses and often debilitating States, right? So not only are you, uh, trying to, uh, attend to your family member, your loved one, um, but this can be an ongoing issue, right? And our policies aren't in place to help support that. Um, and if you show you support your employers during those times, you're gonna have more retention of them. Uh, you're going to have, um, attract more people with, uh, good qualifications to want to be working there. When you maintain that good, healthy work life balance, people are happier. And when you happier employee employees, you're gonna have better care. Right? So it's, it's actually so the Canadian compassionate companies, I'm just learning about it, but um, they can actually come to the HR and start to educate and bring in policies to workers who are going through this. So when you have, when you have a policies and procedures around it, the culture starts to change, right? Because then it's normalized and validated that, yeah, this is hard. You know, I care about your psychological safety cause if you're safe, everybody else here is safe. Right. And that's important not just for our colleagues but for our patients and families. Right. So I was really excited about it and like that. Yeah. Kwadwo: 47:52 I think it's definitely worth mentioning because it's, I want to say innovative. It's, it's, I wouldn't say this is common practice in areas amongst companies and amongst healthcare providers. So anything that's going to help people get through these tough times and provide better, ultimately provide better care we should embrace. Heather: 48:14 Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. So yes. Kwadwo: 48:21 Been a dream. I really, I can't express the work that you do and how meaningful it is that we see it day to day. I'm going to speak for, you know, like my ICU colleagues, my palliative care colleagues, my medicine colleagues, the work that you guys do, it's underappreciated, undervalued, and it goes in. It's one of the most important things we provide. And I just want to say that you do amazing work and whatever we could do to get the word out to how important these things are, including grieving, we need to do it. And I hope this is just a hopeless, I hope this helps. Heather: 49:08 I hope so. I hope it moves things forward. Yeah, that would be great. And I'm there to help it out as much as I can and vice versa. It's been so great working with you, Kwadwo over the years. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Thanks so much. .

Transcript: Kwadwo : 00:00 Yo, y'all wanted more of André Picard. We are delivering. We're talking cannabis. We're talking PharmaCare. We're talking medical assistance in dying. We're talking privatization of healthcare. Episode 14 with André Picard. Let's go. Kwadwo: 00:18 Welcome to Solving Healthcare. I'm Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng. I'm an ICU and Palliative Care physician here in Ottawa and the founder of Resource Optimization Network. We are on a mission to transform healthcare in Canada. I'm going to talk with physicians, nurses, administrators, patients and their families, because inefficiencies, overwork and overcrowding affects us all. I believe it's time for a better health care system that's more cost effective, dignified and just for everyone involved. Kwadwo : 00:53 Thanks for tuning in everybody. We are super excited about this episode with André Picard. We cover a lot. We cover some of the questions that we saw on social media, on Twitter and on Facebook, but what I want you guys to really take away from this episode is how a lack of clear objectives and goals within our healthcare system really can impair care, and impair resource utilization. I think that was a huge eye-opening point that André and I get to talk about here in this episode amongst the other things, but it's a real eye-opener. Every other area within business, healthcare, your own health, your career goals, you, all of us have clear goals and objectives, but what are our goals in healthcare? Is it to reduce infant mortality? Is it to improve on mental health services? What are our objectives? These are the real questions we should be asking ourselves. Kwadwo : 01:56 Okay. Before getting into the show, I want to tell you about our sponsors, Betterhelp.com As I said, I love these guys. They are online counseling service that provides accessible, affordable, and convenient counseling services that are readily available by a video chat, via telephone, via text messaging, and they cater to your needs, whether it's teen counseling, whether it's marriage counseling, whether it's health care providers, addressing compassion fatigue. They're fantastic. So if you guys are looking to sign up, use promo code Solving Healthcare, and you'll get a 10% discount on their services. Our other sponsor today is The Podcast Critical Levels. This is hosted by my boy Zach Cantor and this show's awesome. It's about paramedicine and the issues around paramedicine, but they also dive into issues that involve us all. Specifically, he had a great episode with Dr. Zemek about childhood concussions, which as a father of three boys that are involved in hockey, I was completely engaged in. It was a great conversation. Kwadwo : 03:08 This guy's going to be a star, so you guys are game, listen to him on iTunes, Spotify, or Stitcher, anywhere you could listen to podcasts and, it's a guaranteed gamer man. Good job Zach. Lastly, I want to give a shout out to the Department of Medicine at the Ottawa Hospital. These guys have supported this show tremendously. I want to give a shout out to Abhilash, Sandra, D D, Tracy, you guys are amazing. They've assisted with marketing, on updated website on the Department of Medicine page. I'll leave links to that on the show notes. It is proper, but yeah, love you guys for all the support and uh, appreciate it. All right, let's dive into it. André Picard, the author of "Matters of Life and Death." And you heard him on Episode 13. Amazing journalist, 40 years of experience and he really delivers on this episode. We talk about it all and I can't wait for you guys to listen to it. So we're just going to dive into it. Enjoy Episode 14. Kwadwo : 04:14 So I touched a bit on universal healthcare and in how, I'm not sure in Canada we can truly say that we have universal healthcare. I'm wondering if you had any thoughts in terms of privatization. You know this is coming up a lot in terms of ways of making healthcare more sustainable, dealing with wait times and so forth. What are your thoughts in terms of privatization? André Picard: 04:40 Well let me start with the universality part of the puzzle. So we have, in Canada we have this notion that we have a universal system, but we have the least universal universal healthcare system in the world. I think once you put it in those terms, you go, "Oh hold on. Is that true?" Because we cover hospitals and we cover physicians a 100%, we cover very little of everything else. We cover about 45% of drugs publicly. Well, 30% of home care, uh, 30- 35% of long-term care, 6% of dental care. We're all over the map and it's irrational. So we don't have a universal healthcare system. So that's the first part of the puzzle. I always said, I like to use the analogy of a basket. So we have this Medicare basket of services. Right now we have a basket that's very narrow and very deep. It's hospitals and physicians. André Picard: 05:29 We pay for all of it, even though some of it probably shouldn't be paid for. And then the other stuff we don't cover near enough. So I think we need to make this basket a lot wider and a bit shallower. So we cover a lot more, but we give some people some responsibility for the rest. So that brings us to the, the second part of the privatization talk. And I think a lot of the talk about privatization in Canada, the way to shut down any discussion about healthcare is to say, "Oh, you're going to privatize, we're going to be like the U. S." Well, I think that's it. I think that's nonsense. I think it's a false dichotomy. I think the reality is every, no health system can cover 100% of everything for everyone all the time. So we're going to have some private healthcare,. We have to realize that from the outset. André Picard: 06:18 So the question is not will we have private healthcare? The question is where do we have it, how do we regulate it, and how do we make sure that everyone gets the essential care that they need at an affordable price? So that's, you have to have these philosophical parameters and then how we deliver the care. To me, it doesn't really matter. I don't care if it's delivered by a privately, publicly a mixture. What matters is that people get the care and that it's accessible and that it's affordable. So that that's my philosophy. I get some grief for that, but I think that's how we have to have the discussion about privatization. It's not black and white. It's about how do we regulate it, how do we ensure that it's delivered fairly and comprehensively, et cetera. I think in Canada, the problem we have is we have a badly administered public health care and badly regulated private health care. So we kind of have the worst of both worlds. A lot European countries have a lot of private health care, but it's very strictly regulated. It's not a free for all the way it is here. So there's different ways to, to have get that balanced right. And again, you've got me on my pet topic. Kwadwo : 07:27 That's part of my game. It's interesting because actually I've never heard it framed that way is that we're the, how'd you put it, in terms of universal healthcare, we're the... André Picard: 07:36 ...the least universal in healthcare. Kwadwo : 07:39 Yeah, I like that. And I mean cause it's often people forget that they're like, oh we don't have any private health care in Canada. But you know, if I go see a physiotherapist I'm paying out of pocket. And it's true. It's like where do we want to put our private resources? I mean, well some of the topics that come up or worries I hear people mention is like resource drain where like some of the best surgeons or physicians or whatever, allied health professionals, would just strictly go into the private sector. But it's kind of like you mentioned if you regular, if you're like anything that you're going to do that's semi new or complicated will take some nuance. And so yeah, you know, maybe you need to restrict how much time physicians could spend in the private sector. Maybe that's a solution, but certainly to think that we can't have any element of private healthcare in 2020 or beyond I think is a bit ignorant at this point. André Picard: 08:41 Well, you're right. It's about setting parameters. So if you look at a country like France, a many doctors practice in the public system and the private system, but there's strict regulations. So if you want to work in the private for every hour you give to the private system, you have to give an hour to the public system. So that's, that's a way of getting some balance there. It's not a, you know, it's not an either or. In Canada you can opt in many provinces, not all, but in many provinces you can opt out of the public system and then you can charge whatever you want. There's no limit. I'm not sure that's a good system. Now very few doctors do because our Medicare system is actually very generous for doctors and it's a good system, very little bureaucracy compared to systems like the U. S. So there's the greatest beneficiaries of Medicare have been physicians. We shouldn't forget that. Kwadwo : 09:27 Yeah. I feel like it's so taboo, but we need to go there and I, I don't know what, will make us go there. What I'm getting at is what is our breaking point? Because baby boomers, are getting to prime time, health care, utilization, age, you know, we keep saying that we can't keep this up in terms of healthcare delivery and spending. So what's next? Like what do you see? What's going to happen in Canada in your, in your humble opinion? André Picard: 10:00 Well, you know, I think that we have to realize that healthcare is really important to us. Uh, we have to find a way of delivering it. And as I said before, we obsess a lot too much about the cost. Do we spend too much on healthcare? I am often asked that question and I always give the same glib response. André Picard: 10:16 I always say, I have no idea because I don't know what we're trying to achieve. So we just spend, you know, we spend the way we spend, we don't have any set public health goals in Canada. So unless you have goals, it's hard to save for we're getting, achieving what we're trying to do. So I think that's, we have to do some basic stuff. Kwadwo : 10:34 What kind of goals would you have us, would you have in mind? André Picard: 10:38 Yeah. So I look to many countries do this. So you look to a country like Sweden. So Sweden publicly publishes every year a list of its public health goals. So for example, I take one in Canada and Canada, we have an abysmally the high rate of child mortality compared to most of the world. So I would say in Canada, we want to bring our rate of child mortality from three per thousand to two per thousand. André Picard: 11:05 That would be a public health goal for me. And then we find out a way to do that and we spend the money that's necessary to do it. So that that's how you have, goals and then you work to achieve them. People often get uncomfortable when I say, "You know, we have to treat it more like a business." And that's what a business does. A business says, here's the goals for the year. Often those goals are related to profit, but we don't have, that doesn't have to be the goal in healthcare. The target, the goal can be, you know, we're going to ensure that our child poverty rate falls by X percentage points or that, the cesarean delivery is going to be less disparate from one end of the country to the other. So there's all kinds of goals you can set once you have goals. It's easier, I think, to, to figure out how to spend appropriately. Kwadwo : 11:48 You know where you're trying to go. You have purpose. Kwadwo : 11:53 Yeah. It's funny cause you always hear on a lot of whatever endeavors that you, you, you go on that, you know, you need to set goals and, and write them down or discuss them, be clear on what your objectives are. And it's funny if you asked me what, you know, what are the goals are Canadian healthcare system, that's not an easy question. Yeah. To make Canadians healthier or whatever. But is that really specific enough? Is that like, what does that actually mean? You know? Yeah. No, that's a, that's a great point. André Picard: 12:25 When I, when I do talk to, I often ask the audience, I say, what, what is the statement of purpose of Canadian Medicare? So we spend a quarter of a trillion dollars every year or $256 billion on healthcare. What is its purpose? So I often ask that to audiences and the question, the answer is always silence. So I tell them, you're right, we don't have any, you're all right. You don't just answer nothing. And when you put it in those terms, I think people go, "Wow, we spend all this money and we don't, what's the purpose of it?" Kwadwo : 12:54 Yeah, wow. Kwadwo : 12:56 I'm actually speechless because yeah, what really is our goals, you know? Yeah. I mean it's, even if you think about it in, in specific niches, like you know, when I'm in ICU, I know my goals are clear. When I'm in the Palliative Care, my goals are clear. You know, when they, when we look at a system level, it's not clear at all. You know, we might have a bunch of issues but we're not prioritizing them. We're just blanketly throwing money in and dealing with fires. Wow. André Picard: 13:29 And Palliative Care is a really good example. You know, you have very specific goals once the patient is there, but whatever. What are our goals as society to ensure that the right patients get there? In Canada between 17 and 35% of people who should have palliative care get it. We do a terrible job of ensuring people are treated well at end of life. And you know, I can't, it's hard to imagine something that's more important than alleviating people's pain at the end of life to not see them die a horrible death. And we just haven't, we don't have goals. We don't have, we haven't made that a priority. You know, again, it's the Canadian classic thing. Once you're in power, you know, you're in palliative care, we have fabulous Palliative Care. So many people are denied access to that, that it's criminal. Kwadwo : 14:16 Yeah, and the thing that people may or may not realize is even when it studied the benefits of early Palliative Care, like there's a study out, it's almost 10 years old now that it was stage four cancer patients got either early Palliative Care or just standard care up to the discretion of their team. And the patients that got early Palliative Care, not only were their symptoms improved, but they actually lived longer, ironically. And so, yeah, I mean you're definitely preaching to the choir in terms of Palliative Care resources. I mean, you know, when you, when you look at trying to improve the experience for the family, for the patient, making sure that the, you know, they're not suffering and you know, even from a resource point of view like the patients are less likely to occupy acute care beds as a result. It's just a, it is a bit mind boggling that this is not emphasized more. André Picard: 15:12 Yeah. And it's a reminder. What you're saying is reminder. I don't, I don't think we lack money. I don't think there's any lack of money in our system, we're one of the biggest healthcare spenders in the world. But I think it's how the money is allocated, is the problem. We don't spend smartly. We don't get value for money. Kwadwo : 15:27 This is, this is my, I mean, this is like my mission, Andre. It's like I see it day in, day out us putting in money into interventions that have no benefit. Even, there's a simple, this is a very simple example, but you know, I think it clarifies things you could have if someone comes into the ICU when they're, they need to be resuscitated with IV fluids. There's normal saline that you've, we've all seen that costs maybe a $1 .30 and then there's some more sophisticated fluids that cost about $50 to $60 for the same amount of volume. Kwadwo : 16:03 So 60 times a price with no, like if you could study it through the union, there was no additional benefit for you getting that fluid. You know, and we, we spent thousands on it and if there's no reason for it. You could have an oral antibiotic that's just as effective as an IV antibiotic, but people will still order the IV one because it makes it feel better. Throwing away money just cause, you know, for lack of understanding or just because of a lack of lack of a will to change, it's just, it's all over the place. And then instead we could be putting it into places that matter. That's a, this is, I don't know if this is what drives me nuts. You know, I see my physio-therapist position gets cut , I see my social worker position get cut, things that actually are going to make a difference into the patient experience and improving care. Kwadwo : 16:56 I'm going to have to cut these positions. Yeah. It's crazy to me. André Picard: 17:00 Yeah. And you remind me of, I remember visiting a unit for girls with eating disorders at a hospital and they had cut the psychological care so they were no longer getting psychological care. So what was the result is they ended up spending many more months in hospital. I had great, a tremendous cost, way more money than it costs to fund a psychologist. A different budget, et cetera. It's just a lot of irrational stuff like that happens and it just, it actually costs more money, not less. I know people, 90 year olds with dementia and cancer are getting a hip transplant. What's the good of that? Kwadwo : 17:36 Absolutely. It's and stuff that has been studied and we know are unlikely to benefit and we still offer it. And you know, I mean when you give that example of arguably who might be the most valuable person in an eating disorder ward, I would think it would be the psychologist. Wow. Kwadwo : 17:56 That reminds me, we did get a bunch of questions on Twitter when we were doing this show and, and one of them, you're a popular man. One question that like really stuck with me and, and I don't think there's an easy answer to this, is how do we break the cycle of these four year, Kwadwo : 18:18 cycles where governments are in power. And so they, the budgets are reflective of that. So there's so much sort short, shortsighted, you know, budget, budget, intervention cuts because we got to balance the budgets despite the fact that some of these cuts are gonna make things worse in the long run. Is there a solution to this problem? André Picard: 18:38 Well, again, yeah, I think there is a solution and again, we can learn from looking at other jurisdictions. I think one of the things that distinguishes Canada is the level of political micromanagement. So there's way too much interference from that. The Health Minister's office reacts to what's on the front page of a newspaper. That's how our system runs. It's like I always call our health ministers, firefighters instead of fire prevention officers, that's what they should be doing. They should be setting the philosophical goals, as I talked about before. These are the goals that we want to achieve and we should have professional administrators running the system so that, that's what I see when I go to countries in Europe, like the Netherlands and France, they're professionally managed. They're run like a business. And the government essentially keeps their nose out of it, and the public doesn't want their noses in it. So I think it's really to let the managers manage. Kwadwo : 19:30 Mmm. André Picard: 19:30 One of the worst jobs in Canada has to be a healthcare administrator because you have all this responsibility and you have no power and you're constantly second guessed by politicians. It's a terrible position to be in. So what do they do? They just cover their butts. They try and not make waves and we just go along, you know, try and keep quiet and nobody wants to catch the attention of the Ministry of Health because it's always going to be bad news. So I think it's this professionalization, that we have to aim for. And it's weird cause we don't do it in any other part of our government. You know, the Transport Minister doesn't call and tell the airport what flight should be going out. And that's, that's how it works in healthcare. It's absurd. So I think that problem is easily solvable, but it's going to take some, some political guts for people to say, listen, hands off, I'm going to let the, you know, Ontario Health. So, you know, say take Ontario Health, this new system, theoretically you should be able to do that. That should be an independent entity. Government gives them their allocation of money, go for it, run it that it should be run that that's how a system works in most countries and that's how it should work here. Kwadwo : 20:42 Have you seen a province, the healthcare system that works better than others? André Picard: 20:47 That's when I traveled around the country. I always know that's going to be the first question when I do a talk. I'm obsessed in Canada. Are we the worst or are we just sort of in the middle? That's everybody wants to be in a major of Canadians. So I think, I think the answer to it is we don't know cause we don't measure things very well. I think anecdotally we know that every province does some stuff really well. So we all have areas of excellence. I often describe Canadian Medicare as "islands of excellence in a sea of mediocrity". We have a lot of mediocrity. We have that but have a lot of great stuff. So New Brunswick has tremendous paramedicine. Manitoba has really good homecare. Quebec has really good primary care with CLSC's.BC has a really good handle on its drug program. So there's all of these provinces that do things well. André Picard: 21:37 And the frustrating things for me is we don't learn from each other and copy each other. We do quite the opposite. We always try to reinvent the wheel. But to get back to your initial question, who does it best overall? I'll just go with my gut feeling cause again, there's no measures, but I think these days, I think it varies. I think Alberta used to have by far the best health system, sort of a pioneered the regionalization model, and it does it really well. It allowed the regions to, to run in the way we talked about, you know, you're the boss and you run it and the government keeps its hands out and until the government started meddling again, that worked really, really well. So I think Alberta was a leader for a long time. I think now probably Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan is a really good size, but a million really good size too to run a system. André Picard: 22:26 Ontario is kind of a dog's breakfast. They're trying to fix this with a reorganization, but it's really the most disorganized system as a result. I think one of the ones with the, with the worst outcomes, unfortunately. I don't think there's a best and I don't think there's a worst, but there's a lot of good and there's a lot of bad overall. Unfortunately. Kwadwo : 22:45 No, I can appreciate your answer. I'm originally from Alberta and one of the things that was taking place before I left was single electronic medical health record. You know, they had this, I'm forgetting the name off the top of my head, but you know, taking the bull by the horns and saying, you know, this is ridiculous. We should all be under one system and oh it should, all hospital charts should be able to speak to each other to a certain extent. Kwadwo : 23:15 And this was, I mean this was in 2005 when I left, so yeah, I do. I could, I could see where you're coming from. And yeah, at the time they still had the like a health authorities is what they would call them. Like which pretty much had as you described, a free reign. Relatively speaking to, to work in the way that was most effective for their community. It's a really good point you bring up though. It's, you know, a little bit more independence for some of these administrators to, you know, to try and do the right thing for their, for the community and to be able to get to their needs. Yeah, I mean that's a, that's a fair point and that you don't hear about every day, but yeah, certainly in Ontario this is what we're attempting. All right. I'm going to ask you a bit of a controversial one too. Kwadwo : 24:02 Is there a party that you feel like since you've been doing this for 40 plus years, it seems to do a better job of this than others? André Picard: 24:11 Well, you know, the, I think one of the biggest problems in Canadian politics is that there's very little difference between the parties, violent agreement on, you know, essentially the status quo. And that's, to me, it's always frustrating to me during election campaigns, there's very little discussion of healthcare because there's no disagreement. Everybody sort of has this, well, Medicare is great and we don't want to talk about it attitude. NDP, Conservative, Liberal, all the same approach. And I think a lot of it goes back to there's a famous quote to attributed to Joey Smallwood, who is the premier of Newfoundland, one of the Fathers of Confederation. He once said that, "I've never had a discussion about healthcare that didn't lose me votes." To this day, politicians feel like that... André Picard: 24:56 You start talking about healthcare and it becomes a losing proposition because you can never satisfy everyone. So the parties kind of agreed to to say nothing. We have these little discussions around the edges occasionally because there's never any serious talk of performing healthcare regardless of the party. So short answer, no, there's not one that's better than the other. What we do know is that the lesser a party's chances of being elected, the more bold their promises are for healthcare. So that, that's the sad reality. Kwadwo : 25:24 Fair enough. Okay. I'm going to touch on a few more questions that some of the our friends were, were asking. So in terms of new cannabis legislation, what's your, your overall opinion on our approach? André Picard: 25:43 Yeah, so I've been long a proponent of, I, don't believe that, you know, drugs should be regulated the way they are now. André Picard: 25:51 I'm a big believer in, legalization of all drugs because I believe people are going to use them and we have to make it safe for them to use, and educate them, et cetera. So that's my premise that I operate from. Lots of people don't like that view, but I have a very libertarian view about drugs and I think it's viewed from a public health perspective, that that's the most rational approach. Now when we take cannabis, I think that legalization of cannabis was long overdue. We started discussing this in the 1970s with the Lyddane Report and finally two years ago we got around to legalization. Now what's happened since then? I think it's been kind of a bust in a bust economically, socially, medically because we've replaced this criminalization with a whole bunch of stupid regulations. There's way more laws about cannabis use now than there were before it was legalized. André Picard: 26:45 So it's kind of a, we've undermined what we were trying to do. From the business perspective, that's the story that gets the most attention in Canada is our cannabis companies are all going bust, because they're, the sales are not what they expected. We could have built an industry here that export it, its knowledge around the world, but, there's so much red tape and regulation that we've denied ourselves that, right. So, and I think we've kind of messed up this good idea. We've get it done it very, very badly unfortunately. So the reality is what the reality is, a lot of people still buy on the black market. The government stores have a product, but they have long wait lines. You know, there's the Canadian way. We wait for everything. We even wait for in line outside to buy our pot. So I think it's kind of been a huge disappointment, unfortunately. Kwadwo : 27:35 Yeah. It's, um, I do hear you about the, from a like a public help perspective on legalization cause certainly, you know, putting somebody in jail or putting them in a spot where they can't have a job based on a substance that people are going to use anyway. It seems, you know, um, not right. But my concern personally is the use, especially amongst the youth. Like I think there's some detrimental affects that maybe we're not appreciating. Like I know we see a little bit more psychosis in lead adolescence, early adult age. I just kind of wish it was studied a bit more before we're like, hey, you know, let's just throw it out to the world, but you know, I, do hear from the public health side for sure. André Picard: 28:27 You know the youth, the youth issue, whether it's cannabis, whether it's vaping, whether it's tobacco, that's a particularly challenging one. André Picard: 28:34 And those things are all illegal. It's always been illegal for young people. Probably always will be. And that's not the issue. That's not the way we're going to deal with that demographic. We have to, we have to teach them. Uh, we have to recognize that they're young people, so they're going to be risk taking. They're going to be experimenting and we have to deal with that reality instead of being moralistic about it and saying, "Oh, we've got to ban, vaping, we've got to ban cannabis." They're going to use it. So let's make sure that when they do they do it safely, uh, they do it rationally as much as possible for a teenager to do anything rationally. I think we just have to be much more pragmatic about this stuff. I think that's, to me, that's the big lesson I've learned about writing about public health for a long time is. .. André Picard: 29:15 You really have to put your opinions aside and be very pragmatic about this stuff and realize it's going to happen. So how do we make it as safe as possible? How do we reduce harm? Harm reduction has to be the driving force of our, our public policies. And the worst thing for harm reduction is, is prohibition. Prohibition is always failed regardless of the substance. Kwadwo : 29:37 Yeah. Fair enough. I guess it's always the question, which I guess we don't know. It's just, you know, what is that safe level? What is a, what is the amount or the approach that, you know, is truly reducing harm. But yeah, a lot of questions in terms of, you know, the approach. How about, another question that came up was regarding PharmaCare. I think you've, you've written a bit about PharmaCare and Canada. Oh, any thoughts on that? André Picard: 30:07 Yeah, so an issue we've written a lot about because it, it actually did get debated politically. André Picard: 30:12 Again, I think PharmaCare is necessary. We need to, you know, we're the only developed country aside from the U.S. that doesn't include drug coverage and our, and our universal health plan. So that's something that's needed to be fixed for 50 years. So we have to do that. So we've done it to a certain extent, but we've done it in a very haphazard way. So we have 102 public drug programs in Canada. We have to make some sense of that. We need some, some more centralization, more logic. But I think the really important thing that's lost in the PharmaCare debate is we have to define what we mean by PharmaCare. So we have a lot of people talking about, you know, we need this single universal system. Sure. That's one way of doing it to be, it's not necessarily that way, but the most important thing is what are we going to cover for who and why? André Picard: 31:02 So how are we going to get value for money, uh, for our drugs? And I think the way to do it is not to copy what we've done with, with the physicians and hospitals, we've covered those 100% and it doesn't work. We've had a lot of waste. We have a lot of, stuff that's not done because we spend too much in those areas. I think we have to be careful not to repeat the mistakes we've made earlier. I think we have to be a little smarter to decide what we're going to cover and that, that to me is the essence of the debate. There's no question that we should cover. Drugs are really important. If we're going to have universal healthcare, but universality doesn't mean covering every product for every person all the time. Ensuring that everyone has the essentials in an affordable way and those are different things . Kwadwo : 31:49 That certainly was one of the few healthcare related topics that came up during this past election. Kwadwo : 31:57 And that was a, it's funny, those are my exact thoughts when it came up, I'm like, what is, what does that actually, what does formal care actually mean? Like what are we actually debating here? André Picard: 32:09 Yeah, there was no, there was no real debate. There were a bunch of platitudes that were uttered, but that wasn't debate because they, the parties never defined what they meant. You know, they said, we're going to bring in, in this program, but what exactly is the program going to be? And then, the fact that the Federal parties were debating this, neglecting the fact that ultimately it's up to the provinces, that that was a big problem as well. Kwadwo : 32:32 Excellent. Excellent. So, okay, André, what are your thoughts on medical assistance in dying? André Picard: 32:38 Yeah. So another issue that we took a long time to deal with. So I started covering that issue in the early eighties. André Picard: 32:45 Then it got a lot of steam with the, in the early nineties with Sue Rodriguez kind of died off for awhile and then came back. So that again, we finally brought in this legislation to give people more choice at the end of life to minimize their suffering. So I think that was a really big important piece of legislation. Now the problem was that the legislation was, was flawed and it was inadequate and we, we've got to fix it. So we're at that point now. In fact, a new public consultations have just started about expanding the MAID legislation. So that's going to happen. The court has ordered it, but it's always frustrating with these issues, how slowly we go, how cautious the politicians are. Thank God we have an activist court in Canada. Or we, we'd have much worse health care. Of course, it forced us to do stuff that we know we should do, but politicians are too, too wimpy to do on their own. André Picard: 33:37 So I read the important issue. I think we have to recognize it. Very few people are ever going to get an assisted death. That's going to be one, 2% very tiny percentage. But I think it's a really important philosophical point, a theoretical point that people have choice that end of life. I think that's what's most important about this debate is giving patients more control. And I think that we're going to see that now we're going to see the really tough ones. Does that apply to people with dementia? Does it apply to people with mental illness? Does it apply to children? There's some really, really tough debates coming. But again, I, I stay in my bubble about being pragmatic. I think we have to give people options and then we have to ensure at the same time that there are protections. So that these things aren't abused. Kwadwo : 34:22 So basically what I'm hearing is we can't use this slippery slope argument as a reason not to implement this. People deserve to have that choice in terms of, how they want to end their life. André Picard: 34:37 I don't know how many times I've said in my columns that not every slope is slippery, but I think we actually remember that, that that's kind of a banal argument. Not every slope is slippery there is, we have to have buffers in place to ensure there aren't abuses, but that doesn't mean denying people rights to want them. No one should be forced to take, to have an assisted death when they don't want to. No one should be choosing assisted death for lack of alternatives like lack of Palliative Care, lack of long-term care. That's unacceptable. Not no one should be denied and assisted death who wants it? André Picard: 35:11 Who's making a rational choice? We can do all those three things at once. They are not mutually exclusive. Kwadwo : 35:19 Exactly. In your book "Matters of Life and Death" you touch on transgender issues. Where do you see some of these issues in 2020? André Picard: 35:30 Well, I think it's just an example of what we talked about at the outset, it's an evolution. You know, it's a new patient group, a new demographic that's standing up and being heard, and that the health system has to adjust. This notion of treating gay men was unthinkable in the 70s and 80s, no, they're a bunch of perverts, and we hear a lot of that same when you're around a long time, you start to hear these echoes and we hear that now about transgender, Oh, we can't possibly do that. We can't use different pronouns. Oh, the language has always been the same, but the things evolve. André Picard: 36:03 Language evolves. Medicine has to evolve and I think this is these developments are good. They challenge us, they force us to think differently. Unfortunately, there are abuses or wrongs that happen along the way that forces us to deal with this, but I think it's, it's a very positive development that we're talking about. Like gender fluidity, that the gender is a social construct. I think these are really important things for physicians and few for future physicians to think about and to talk about. And how do they treat their patients well regardless of their gender or how they identify. Kwadwo : 36:38 Super important topic and definitely one for a future episode. André, what about the wait times we're seeing overall whether in emerge or if you're waiting for a hip. Do you see any solutions in the near future? André Picard: 36:55 Yes. So again, I think wait times is the systemic issue. André Picard: 36:58 So it's about creating more flow in the system. It's about breaking the bottlenecks. You know, as we talked about earlier, at the long rates in our emergency rooms have very little to do with emergency care, right? They're all about bottlenecks. It's about inability to admit people, inability to, to get people out of hospital. We have this perversity in Canada called the ALC patients, (alternate level of care) patients who live in hospitals. I've done stories about this. I met a patient who's been living in a hospital for 10 years because there's no alternative for them. This makes no sense. It makes no sense from a business perspective and makes no sense from a patient care perspective. Ethically, all these things are wrong and we have to fix them. But you know, in some provinces, one third of all hospital beds, are ALC patients. They are people who have been discharged but have nowhere to go. André Picard: 37:51 So these are, this is how you deal with wait times is you deal with things across the spectrum. No easy solution. It can't be overnight, but we have to correct the errors we've made of of bad planning. You know, we all, we hear often and over and over again, Oh well,it's the aging boomers. You know, that's what's overwhelming our system. We've known about the boomers for 60 years. No surprise here. It's just a bad planning, lack of foresight. And we have to fix it. Kwadwo: 38:20 Agreed. But what can we do now? Like if I'm, you know, the Minister of Health or I'm a lead for a health authority and I got these tons of ALC patients, what can we do? André Picard: 38:33 Well, I think, again, if look at it and say from a business perspective, what do you do in a business if you have this problem? You have a mixture of carrots and sticks. André Picard: 38:42 So you start punishing hospitals that have ALC patients. Why did patients, you know, that perversity is that hospitals actually like having ALC patients because they require less nursing care. They're understaffed on nursing. They get paid the same amount of money, require less care. So it's actually a good thing for them, which is wrong. It shouldn't be a good thing. So you have to punish them financially. And that will solve the problem pretty quickly. They'll get them elsewhere. We have to incentivize people to have more long-term care homes. Most of our long-term care homes are private businesses and we have to ask ourselves why people don't go into this business. That's because the rates suck , it's because there's way too much regulations. We have to make it easier for people to provide spaces for people who need it. And then we have to deal with the other pieces of the puzzle, which is home care. André Picard: 39:30 I think we've, put far too many resources into people getting home care just to get them out of hospital quicker from short-term surgery and we haven't invested enough in the chronic part of the puzzle. So again, from a business point of view, way cheaper to care for those ALC patients in their homes costs a fraction of the cost. So take that money and use it differently. And if you don't do that, then you're going to be punished. So the carrot and stick approach, all this stuff is solvable. And I know it's solvable because I see, I don't see these problems in other countries around the world. Kwadwo: 40:05 Interesting. We kind of talked a bit about how to create change in healthcare and you do bring up the carrot and the stick. And I mean money talks. One of my main incentives to do research around costs is because that's the language that that's a change language. Kwadwo : 40:24 That's the language of administrators, of politicians. So if you could show a financial benefit for any intervention, like that's when things actually start to move. And so withholding funds so that change can occur. You know, I think it can go a long way, but certainly just sticking with the status quo is not good enough. André Picard: 40:48 But I would add the proviso that if you're going to have carrots and you're going to have sticks. People have to have accountability and they also have to have power. So you can't punish a hospital for having ALC patients, but not giving them the power to resolve it. I think, again, when you have a regionalization is supposed to be the solution to this, right? So the way a regionalization is supposed to work is that they should say, here's our overall budget. We're not spending it well by having these people living in hospitals, we should spend it on home care or we should spend it on long-term care facilities. So you have to have the power to move that money around and that that's how the issue will get resolved. Ultimately give people, accountability and power to fix things. Kwadwo: 41:29 I love it. You know, trusting in the people that you've invested into, trying to make the healthcare system better. André Picard: 41:36 We pay healthcare administrators a lot of money, let them administer. Kwadwo : 41:40 Mmm, no, that's, that's a great point, André. One thing I like to do is always end on a positive note and allow our guests to talk about a story or a time where they've felt that your job has had a big impact in general. And you did give this story earlier Kwadwo : 42:00 about, um, you know, the AIDS patient in Toronto, but is there an any other time where you felt that you covering health care and being as engaged as you have been, that you've really made a difference? André Picard: 42:16 I think there's all those little stories like we talked about, you know, the one patient who, who got better care because of your story, little policy changes. Those are always moving. But to me there, to me, there are two big things in my career that stand out. I wrote for a long time about the tainted blood tragedy. So this came out of my coverage of AIDS. I started covering, you know, there were four groups who were infected with AIDS and one of them was always forgotten. This little group of hemophiliac and transfusion patients. So we started focusing on them and this became, this became a huge story. It became an exposure of one of the worst, probably the worst public health scandal in Canadian history. About 30,000 people were infected with HIV and hepatitis, not because of mismanagement of the blood system, because of lying to people because et cetera. André Picard: 43:06 I have a whole book length version of this rant, but, that issue that the tainted blood issue I think is one of my proudest moments because it really did bring relief to a lot of people. There was more than $5 billion in compensation paid out. Ultimately, our drug regulation system changed profoundly as a result of that. And I'm not taking credit for that solely, but we did get the ball rolling. So I think that's really important story in my, my legacy, if I could put it that way. And there's another one very similar, but on a smaller scale that a very touching one was a work that I did with my colleague on the, thalidomide survivors. So there's a group of five people who are affected by thalidomide in the 1950s, sixties, left with, you know, missing limbs, et cetera. André Picard: 43:54 Those folks live the long time suffering in poverty. And we came back to that a few years ago and wrote about these forgotten survivors. And again, the result was a quite a large compensation package. People getting their lives back, people who are forgotten, you know, we got to tell their story. And there's a lot of, a lot of touching, touching stories as a journalist to hear from that and when you actually change people's lives. So those are two of the biggies for me. But all the little ones day to day, you know, they, they keep you going. Kwadwo : 44:27 Yeah, no, I got to tell you, André, it's truly is a privilege to be able to have this conversation with you. And I could truly echo the amazing, inspiring work that you've done over the years that has impacted Canadians and people worldwide and given people a voice, increasing awareness on many health care related issues. And I got to tell you, I learned a ton today. You know, I got no political, no policy, game. I'm not educated from that front, but the things we talked about today was super eye-opening, especially like the silo stuff and the regionalization aspect of, of things like the way you framed it. And it's just, I don't know, there's a lot to digest and a lot to think about, but, you know, I'm hoping my listeners are feeling similar to me and feeling pretty inspired and I'm truly grateful that you took some time to do this and I hope to have you on again. André Picard: 45:30 A pleasure. And you know, I always remind people, you know, I, my job is to sort of summarize and to translate all this. I meet all these brilliant people and my job is sort of steal their ideas and make them pithy and accessible to the public. So I can't forget that I know nothing. I learned all this stuff from other people and I think my only skill is really being able to boil stuff down and simplify it and hopefully communicate it in a way that people can understand and act on. Kwadwo : 45:55 Yeah. Well I'll tell you it's working. Awesome. André, thank you so much. There's going to be links to all your books, your Twitter handle, everything in the show notes and, thanks again for doing this. André Picard: 46:07 Thank you. I look forward to it.
