Today's Journal 

11:00 am - Melanie Stansfield, Nurse Practitioner came to the house to discuss MAID (medical assistance in dying) and fill out the forms for Dennis' first interview. Wendy came over to sign as a witness.

Medical assistance in dying (MAID) is a process that allows someone who is found eligible to be able to receive assistance from a medical practitioner in ending their life. The federal Criminal Code of Canada permits this to take place only under very specific circumstances and rules. Anyone requesting this service must meet specific eligibility criteria to receive medical assistance in dying. 

Any medical practitioner who administers an assisted death to someone must satisfy certain safeguards first. Only medical practitioners are permitted to conduct assessments and to provide medical assistance in dying. This can be a physician or a nurse practitioner.

I'm still really sick so I wore a mask while Melanie and Wendy were here, and I tried to stay out of the way as much as possible.
