Heart-stopping Moments | Dr. Kathryn Mannix | TEDxDunLaoghaire
Вставка

- Dr. Kathryn Mannix draws upon her life's experience as a Palliative Care Physician to explain 'ordinary dying', why CPR is both important and when an appropriate course of life saving action. Kathryn was a consultant in palliative care medicine for 20 years, working in hospices, patients’ own homes and a large teaching hospital. She took early retirement in 2016 to work for better public understanding of dying; this has included radio work, newspaper articles and a book With the End in Mind that, somewhat expectedly, became an international Best Seller, was shortlisted for the Wellcome Book Prize and was The Times ‘Thought’ Book of the Year. Her second book, Listen, about tender communication, was published to critical acclaim in September 2021.
She believes that by naming death, describing the process, and helping people to know what to expect, we can have honest, frank and helpful conversations that promote better planning of end of life care and reduce unnecessary and unhelpful medical complications of dying. Her hope is that we can de-medicalise dying, and give it back to everyone as a precious time to be lived as well as possible. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
I was first introduced to Dr Mannix via Greg Wise, the actor. He wrote a book about his sister's death and honestly, Dr. Mannix helped me make sense of what was happening when my grandfather died. My grandmother died very quickly and suddenly so there was no wanting to fight it, it just happened. But my grandfather's slow passing made everyone in my family suddenly deny his age, deny the fact that he was declining for many months, and they all believed he would get better and live a long and healthy life at the age of 80. I think we did him disservice and I wished we all had the ability to talk about death before it happened, because it is the only inevitability in life.
What a soothing voice this lady has.
Dr. Kathryn Mannix is incredible! This is a fantastic talk.
with the awe and quiet dignity that moment deserves...
👍👍
I agree, there needs to be another category for dementia, Alzheimers, Parkinson's. These diseases with the long slow decline are brutal for patients and families.
Essential insights and brilliantly delivered 💕❤
I had a heart attack last Oct and I am so thankful for the paramedics that came so quickly and for the immediate treatments given to me and sending me to the hospital without delay. I cannot imagine without the immediate treatments given to me, I might not be around anymore. Life is so precious. We must really take care of our health through proper diet and lifestyle. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dr. Mannix is the best story teller I have ever heard:)) The story of life and death that so many have such a hard time finding. Thank you for your incredible grace and wisdom Dr. kathryn Mannix. I'm just soooo moved by these 2 talks I've listened to!!

A long time friend is dying as I type..glad this dropped into my feed
Thank you.
The words and how Dr. Mannix spoke them sounded almost like poetry.
I watched her other TEDx Talk at Newcastle which explained the process of dying. Wonderful, compassionate human.
Brilliantly said, well done.
This is beautiful. Well said. A lesson for all of us to hear and follow.
I like the fact that they chose some Danish music for the intro: Gade's Fantasy Pieces. Very fitting when she's about to tell a story about a Danish football player (although I doubt he would know the music himself! 😀)
Wow.
This some good unintentional asmr, goodnight
