"Starting Friday, House Bill 3162 will increase how much notice hospitals have to give patients’ families from 10 days to 25 days. That new threshold will now begin when medical professionals tell relatives of their intent to end care and give family members an opportunity to find a different health care facility willing to treat the patient."

Regarding Python 3.7 support in libraries. I don't think keeping it is worth it even if there are still downloads of that dependency for Python 3.7.

If somebody still have 3.7 in production it won't change unless they get a "kick" of some kind. I mean, they still will be using 3.7 in two or three months as they do now.

The only way to make them upgrade is to break their systems with a dependency that dropped Python 3.7 support.

My 99 year old dad had a stroke last week and is currently in the hospital. He has lost function on his left side, is unable to swallow, but can interact and is very creative about communicating with gestures and nods. It seems like there is very little they can do for him, medically, and the recommendation is hospice care. Insight? Encouragement? Wisdom? All appreciated. #stroke #hospice #endoflife

What actually is palliative care? And how is it different to end-of-life care?

Palliative care is not voluntary assisted dying. It does not aim to hasten or prolong death. It is not just for people who are about to die and seeking palliative care does not mean “giving up”. In fact, it can be a profound and positive form of care that the World Health Organization (WHO) has recognised as a basic human right. But what does it involve? https://tinyurl.com/ttw8km6n

@DulceMaria Nice! Thank you for the link, I am going to share it with my friend.

I know this is tangential, but one of things I need to do more research on is the most minimal ecological-impact method of body disposal. I had thought cremation before now, but I'm realizing that's not so great.

"In 2001, 1,185 nonprofit hospices and just 800 for-profits provided care for Americans with terminal illnesses who were expected to die within six months. Twenty years later, almost three-quarters of the nation’s 5,000-plus hospices were for-profits, many affiliated with regional or national chains."

VAD Foster's compassion, community, communication, and better end of life and death outcomes.

Don't believe the religious hysterical hype - VAD is opt-in and offers genuine choice for those who meet the criteria.

Advocacy and support from non-medical workers - like end of life doulas - can make the process even smoother for everyone involved. Got questions? I'm here to help.
