Episode 150: Respecting frailty in a cognitive way

In episode 150, the last for 2011, Mike and James elicit the help of Laurie Mallery and Paige Moorhouse from Halifax. Laurie and Paige guide us through a step-by step approach to deal with frailty and end of life care. We also discuss their PATH (Palliative and Therapeutic Harmonization) clinic developed for older people in Nova Scotia with chronic health conditions.
