Joe Szostak talks with his wife Cindy at their home in Dundas, Ont. In desperation, Szostak enrolled in an early-stage clinical trial at Toronto’s Princess Margaret Cancer Centre to treat his metastatic cancer. Joe Szostak was in the middle of a family vacation in Florida in February of 2023 when, while getting changed one morning, he noticed a peculiar lump in his right armpit, the size of a ping-pong ball. Over the next two weeks, Szostak said the lump swelled to the size of an orange. By April, it had grown to the size of a grapefruit: “I couldn’t even hold my arm up properly.”

(Xinhua)At an Ebola treatment center in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), saving lives sometimes begins with persuading frightened patients not to flee. BUNIA, DR Congo, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- At an Ebola treatment center in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), saving lives sometimes begins with persuading frightened patients not to flee. For clinical psychologist Theophraste Tetunabu, fear can be as formidable an obstacle as the disease itself. Some patients are terrified of dying, others struggle with isolation from their families, while some become so distressed that they resist the very treatment meant to save them. "When patients are told they have tested positive, they fear death. Some may even decide to leave or run away," Tetunabu told Xinhua.

Long-term care (LTC) facilities are actually people’s homes. It’s where many Canadians live out their final days. But not all the residents in LTC receive the specialized care they need. Often seniors’ behaviour that could be the result of past traumas is written off as a symptom of dementia. Care aides need training to identify the difference and provide trauma-informed care. Accrediting agencies and Canada’s new national long-term care standards include providing trauma-informed care. But that standard is voluntary. It must be made mandatory.
