May I add to that, Madam Chair?
At the palliative care meeting I attended, I made reference to a feeling that we're finally getting this spread out, this ethos of palliative care, and that's what it is. It's not a technique. It's not something that is different from just the whole ethical way in which you approach patients.
If there's anything that can be done at the national level, federally, it is the encouragement of the national bodies that accredit medical people such as nurses, such as social workers, such as doctors, to ensure that their curricula bring this ethos to bear in their training.
