Speaking Truthfully about Provider‐Assisted Death

A Chaplain Shadowing Program to Teach Compassionate Care Among Physicians-in-Training
To the Editor: In this letter, we share our belief in the importance of compassion and empathy training and briefly describe a successful method of teaching compassionate care through a chaplain shadowing program. Compassion and empathy are fundamental human aspects of providing patient- and family-centered care. With changes in health care leading to limited time for physical patient contact, work hour restrictions for trainees, the rise of shif…
Medical student reflections
PURPOSE: Training of compassionate and empathetic physicians requires commitment by educators to make it a priority. Chaplains typically have time and training to effectively demonstrate compassionate care in the clinical setting. This qualitative study aims to explore perceived benefits among medical students from pastoral care shadowing in integrating compassion and spirituality into education curricula. METHODS: Sixty-four written reflections …
Perdition
On April 13, 2016, about one hundred elderly people assembled in front of a stone memorial plaque in a park in Tokyo's Toshima ward. Although their number has gradually diminished, they have been meeting on this day every year for more than two decades. Their purpose is to remember the victims of a massive firebombing raid that reduced three quarters of Toshima to ashes on the night of April 13-14, 1945. Most of them are now in their late eightie…
Inferno on the Omotesando
May 25th is the 70th anniversary of the Great Yamanote Air Raid. This was the fifth and final low-altitude night incendiary raid on urban areas of Tokyo by the US Army Air Forces. The first of these five massive firebombing raids was the Great Tokyo Air Raid of March 10, 1945. On that night, 279 B-29s dropped 1,665 tons of incendiaries on the Shitamachi district of the capital. By dawn, more than 100,000 people were dead, over a million were home…
Saotome Katsumoto and the Firebombing of Tokyo
March 10 is the 70th anniversary of the Great Tokyo Air Raid. Although Tokyo was bombed more than 100 times from November 1944 to the end of the war, the firebombing centered on the Shitamachi district in the early hours of March 10, 1945, was by far the most devastating air raid on the capital. In less than three hours from just after midnight, 279 B-29 bombers dropped a total of 1,665 tons of incendiaries. By dawn, more than 100,000 people were…
