In this podcast episode, I explore the management of motor neurone disease. I deploy touching memoirs to show how some patients have ameliorated the devastation of MND on their lives and the lives of their families.

I also discuss the variants and mimics of MND, the hazards of breaking the bad news of the diagnosis, and the recommendations for doing this satisfactorily. I review the conventional treatments of MND such as riluzole and edaravone, and the cutting-edge genetic treatment, Tofersen.

I also explore the practicality and ethics of mechanical ventilation to sustain life in the terminal stage of the disease.
