Doctors Amy Nolen and Debbie Selby share their experience as providers of MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying). In 2016, Canada passed a law that decriminalizes medically assisted deaths despite controversy among the health care community and Canadian population. The doctors discuss the difficulties in navigating the patients requests and legalities. Drs Amy and Debbie describe how MAID deaths can look and feel different for family and friends.
