A piece on KevinMD argues that palliative care, which focuses on honest, compassionate conversations during crisis, offers lessons for communicating about climate change. The author suggests climate messaging could adopt the same approach of meeting people where they are, listening, and avoiding doom-laden rhetoric, helping audiences process loss and act rather than shut down.

KevinMD highlights an employment alternative for doctors: working as independent contractors rather than choosing between traditional private practice and hospital or group employment. The piece outlines how contracting gives physicians more autonomy over schedules and practice style, while carrying trade-offs such as self-managed benefits, taxes and malpractice coverage. It is framed as a viable third path for doctors reconsidering their career structures.

Commentary is arguing that mental health care for First Nations patients too often stops the moment they are discharged from hospital or clinic, leaving them without follow-up support in the community. The piece, published on the physician platform KevinMD, calls for continuity of care after discharge as an essential part of treatment for Indigenous patients rather than an optional extra.
