The Good Death Podcast Series: Dr. Michael Fratkin's Journey from Traditional Medicine to Psychedelic Healing
How do we redefine the end-of-life journey with compassion and innovation?
We promise that today's episode with Dr. Michael Fratkin, a trailblazing rural palliative care physician, will leave you with a fresh perspective on healing and human connection. Dr. Fratkin's early experiences with loss and the societal norms surrounding death set him on a path to transform how we understand and approach palliative care. His insights, shaped by the AIDS crisis and personal encounters, demonstrate the power of empathy in reshaping our response to life's most challenging moments.
Dr. Fratkin shares his remarkable journey from a traditional medical career to becoming an entrepreneur in the healthcare industry. His love for outdoor adventures sparked a medical career that evolved beyond conventional pathways, leading to the creation of Resolution Care—a pioneering home-based palliative care program. Discover how embracing indigenous healing practices and technology allowed him to address burnout and expand his impact across multiple states, ultimately resulting in a heartfelt business journey experienced alongside family and friends.
In our conversation, we uncover the profound lessons Dr. Fratkin has learned from elders and end-of-life experiences, particularly regarding consciousness and healing. We explore the transformative potential of psychedelic therapy, emphasizing the importance of foundational support and emotional healing. From the wisdom of indigenous cultures to the power of gratitude and forgiveness, this episode invites you to challenge modern healthcare shortcomings and cultivate a deeper understanding of life, happiness, and spiritual fulfillment. Join us as we share upcoming events and initiatives that aim to foster informed communities around these innovative therapeutic practices.
