    Lucy’s story was one that I also felt rather deeply connected to. I too picked up on the normalcy of her death. This kind of reminded me back to the first reading (I believe) in this course where we discussed the numbness associated physicians when it came to patient death and how this affected third-year medical-students for the rest of their medical affiliated lives. The doctor-patient relationship is very critical as we’ve also learned throughout this course so this was also very interesting to see how this aspect played out in the course of this text. Overall, this is a really great forum post and its really clear to see how so many discussions in class wrapped up in singular text! Thank you for sharing 🙂

    I think this was an amazingly written post. I stopped to comment on this post because I completely forgot about the aids parties that that woman thew for the patients. I remember when I first saw her all dressed up and my first thought being “aww.” Yes, these people were on borrowed time and were just waiting to die, but she gave them a little joy during a very hard time. I’ve always been aware of the importance of physical touch and feeling of well-being/belonging, however, this movie inspired me to make sure I am doing all I can for my loved ones. Make sure I tell them I love them, give them hugs, celebrate the small achievements. All before its too late. This is something that I also want to carry along with me as I too pursue a healthcare career!
