Bedside Wisdom: Powerful Lessons From a Hospice Doctor

  1. Bedside Wisdom: Powerful Lessons From a Hospice Doctor Helen Bauer BSN RN CHPN 48:08

Hospice doctor Dr. Alen Voskanian is sharing the lessons he’s learned at the bedside of the Dying, including why managing compassion fatigue is so vital. Working with AIDs patients led him to hospice work and to obtaining his board certification in hospice and palliative care medicine. Through his practice, Alen tries to humanize his patients and tries to connect with them. He works to find the best balance of doing his job and seeing the patients as human beings. Debriefing with the hospice team and finding an outlet for his secondary Grief has helped Alen create personal wellbeing and sustainability as a hospice physician.
