The family of a Vancouver woman who was forced to transfer hospitals before she could receive medical assistance in dying (MAID) is suing the province and Providence Health Care, saying the Catholic health authority's policy to ban MAID in its facilities violates patients' Charter rights. We discuss the case with Sally Thorne, Professor Emeritus, UBC School of Nursing, and ask viewers if they think hospitals should be allowed to refuse services on religious beliefs. Then, do you find it difficult to make friends in your community? Kasley Killam, social scientist and author, "The Art and Science of Connection: Why Social Health Is the Missing Key to Living Longer, Healthier, and Happier" joins us to share practical tips and habits you can pick up to connect with people where you are.
