We know that 1 in 4 Canadians are family caregivers. Do we know exactly how many health care providers are also family caregivers? No we don't but research suggests it is one in two. Healthcare providers who are also family caregivers are "Double-Duty Caregivers".

someone w 'unbearable pain' can hardly exercise 'agency'. Pain can be addressed 99.9% cases. Offering to end their life in this situation = paradigm cases undue influence or coercion. And remarkable how one can ignore injustice of terrible prioritization w what is made available
