TVOntario Video: End-of-life care

Forgive me for calling attention to myself, however, end-of-life for those living in poverty can be incredibly difficult for the care recipient, family, friends and neighbours. I was honoured to be interviewed by TVOntario. I never fail to be shocked with the way frontline healthcare workers, called Primary Care, can ignore dire needs, failing health of home care clients, self-abuse, citing policy and the Freedom of Information Protection and Privacy Act (FIPPA) vs. the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA).
