Episode 13
We wrap up season 1 back where we started, with Dr BJ Miller, one of the world's leading voices in palliative care. The connection between psychedelics and his field is a strong one, with a lot of the current research focused on easing suffering at the end of life. Amongst other things, BJ and Will talk about how they think about their own deaths, their visions for the future of their profession, the need for more humanity in medicine and where spirituality fits, and BJ's new online palliative care counselling service, Mettle Health.
