Health care at the end of life has been significantly disturbed by two converging fronts. The first is very public conversations relating to opioid overuse. The second is the current tension between standard end‐of‐life care and voluntary assisted suicide. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Grant Details: | NHMRC/APP1061254 | Source of Publication: | Medical Journal of Australia, 210(10), p. 441-441.e1 | Publisher: | Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Asia | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1326-5377 0025-729X |
