About this listen

In this episode of Blood n Bone, host Paula A. sits down with Dr. David Casarett — palliative care physician, researcher, and author of Undiscovered Country: A Doctor’s Travel Guide to the End of Life. Together, they explore the biology of dying, the ways patients can design their end-of-life experience, and what medicine gets right (and wrong) about death.


Dr. Casarett reframes dying not as a single event, but as a profound journey — one that deserves empathy, curiosity, and conversation. With equal parts science and storytelling, this conversation invites listeners to see death as a vital part of medicine and life itself.


Key Topics:

  • The biology of our final hours
  • “Death by Design” and how patients can shape their end-of-life experience
  • Why death deserves a seat at the healthcare table
  • How science and compassion together can transform palliative care
