In this special Remembrance Day episode of A Medic’s Mind, I share two deeply personal stories that reflect on the bonds of brotherhood, the pain of loss, and the enduring power of memory. These stories honor the lives of Cpl. Andrew Eykelenboom, Cpl. Michael Starker, and Pte. Colin Wilmot—brothers who made the ultimate sacrifice.

I also take you behind the scenes of my contribution to the Canadian National War Museum's Oral History Project, where I had the honor of sharing my experiences. Now featured at the museum, this project ensures that the voices and stories of those who served will be preserved for future generations.

This episode is a heartfelt tribute to those we’ve lost and a reminder of the legacy they leave behind. Join me as I honor their memory through words, reflection, and the enduring promise to never forget.

🎧 Listen now and take a moment to reflect on those who gave everything in service of others.

What is an end-of-life doula, and how do they support individuals and families in one of life’s most challenging times?

In my latest podcast episode, I had the honor of speaking with Anne from Red Door Doula, an end-of-life doula with a compassionate and deeply meaningful approach to supporting those facing their final chapter. We discuss how a doula provides emotional support, helps families prepare, and finds ways to make these moments as meaningful as possible. If you work in healthcare, mental health, or just want to better understand the role of a doula, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
