Palliative care for non terminal cases

Why do we accept - even promote - palliative care for non terminal “patients”?

Today’s sobering signal looks at the growing global synthetic opioid crisis - and how policy approach seems all too similar to that applied to South Africa’s energy crisis : mitigation not prevention. “Safe spaces” to shoot up and “demand management” rather than addressing the supply side pain points to prevent rather than accommodate the problems.

Where else have you seen disturbing, life threatening problems being normalised and worked around rather than solved?

And how can we break out of these tradegy acceptance cycles?

Let me know your thoughts.
