About this audiobook
As one of the few pediatric palliative care doctors in the United States, Bob Macauley was used to people saying, “I’m so glad I don’t have your job.” To which he would explain that palliative care is more about living than dying, then offer to share some of the inspiring stories he witnessed on a daily basis. He might mention that also being an Episcopal priest helped him console people in the hardest situations. But he never revealed the true reason for his career choice: he didn’t want anyone else to hurt the way he had when he was a kid.
Robert Macauley is the Cambia Foundation Endowed Chair in Pediatric Palliative Care at Oregon Health & Science University. After earning both medical and divinity degrees at Yale, he completed a pediatric residency at Johns Hopkins, then joined the faculty at the University of Vermont College of Medicine in 2002. At UVM he directed the Department of Clinical Ethics and also founded the Pediatric Advanced Care Team. In 2017 he moved to Oregon to join the faculty at OHSU.View all by Robert Macauley
