The palliative care nurse and influencer Julie McFadden shared in an interview the most common regrets of patients on their deathbed.
In an interview on Dr. Karan Rajan’s podcast, Julie McFadden revealed the main regrets of patients on their deathbed. The palliative care nurse from Los Angeles is also a well-known influencer on TikTok.
“The first one I hear all the time is that they regret not valuing their health while they had it,” explained Julie, who says she reminds herself of this every day, as long as she still has a healthy body.
The second thing Julie hears most often is that patients complain they worked too much. “So, don’t work your whole life, which is easy to say, but I know it’s hard not to do when you have bills to pay and things like that,” she observed.
Third and finally, Julie said people share many regrets about relationships, either for not maintaining some, holding grudges, or worrying too much about what others think.
The two healthcare professionals commented on how these experiences affect the way they see the world.
“Sometimes, we have this tendency to walk around as if we are immortal and immune to everything, but we know that we really aren’t,” commented Dr. Rajan.
