“…Anesthesiologists are also heavily involved in MAiD as first assessor, second assessor, and provider. This is likely due to their familiarity with the processes and medications involved in the provision of MAiD 23 as well as their experience providing care for patients with complex and chronic health concerns.

Legislation on medical assistance in dying (MAiD) was enacted in Canada in 2016. There is limited research on the topic available from Atlantic Canada. This study provides early data on the uptake of MAiD in Nova Scotia based on analysis of administrative billing data. It presents the number of MAiD cases by year from 2017 through early 2020. It also provides data on physician involvement in the MAiD process by specialty, broken down by assessors and providers of MAiD. Our data agrees with provincial- and national-level data that family physicians are highly involved in the MAiD process. Our study also documents physician involvement in conducting MAiD assessments by specialty, a metric which is not widely available in the literature. This study emphasizes the need for robust, provincial-level data on the demographics of providers involved in MAiD.

“…In this issue of the Journal, Mottiar et al 1 provide an excellent summary of the current legal environment pertaining to physician-assisted death (PAD) and the possible implications for anesthesiologists in our country. What concerns us, from the perspective of front-line clinicians, is the lack of a real national dialogue on how this issue fundamentally challenges the goals of medicine and the relationship we have at the bedside with many of our most vulnerable patients.…”
