In episode two of our special four part series, hospice icon Barbara Karnes shares what it was like working in hospice in the early days, before there was a model for working with the dying. Barbara has worked in end of life care for over 40 years, educating and supporting end of life workers and family caregivers alike. In this conversation, we talk about what hospice work was like early in her career.
Here are some highlights from this episode:
- Barbara shares how they cared for patients, learning how people die and the best ways to care for them.
- Barbara talks about how other disciplines came to be integrated into the care of patients, and how they learned to collaborate as an interdisciplinary team.
- We talk about the myths surrounding hospice that have persisted through the years, and still remain in people’s minds today.
