Palliative Care Physician Dr. Aziz Ansari on Diffused Congruence Podcast: American Muslim Experience
Channel: Diffused Congruence Podcast - Unofficial
Date: 2023-11-22

The Diffused Congruence team continues making their way through our Chicago recordings with a very special conversation about Palliative Care, a topic that is hardly discussed in Muslim communities but can impact the lives of young and old alike. Palliative care specifically deals with relieving serious health-related suffering, be it physical, psychological, social, or spiritual for patients with serious illness and their families and loved ones. It includes pastoral considerations, and more broadly can have profound implications on legal matters such as Living Wills and other advance directives, the necessity of families having discussions about quality of life and long terms care, among other issues. 

To help unpack this very important topic they are joined by Dr. Aziz Ansari, a practicing and board-certified hospitalist and palliative care physician and returning guest of the show Omer M. Mozaffar, Muslim Chaplain at Loyola University Chicago. 

This is an unofficial channel created by a fan to create more awareness about the excellent Diffused Congruence Podcast: The American Muslim Experience. I do not own the audio interview or images.

From the Diffused Congruence’s page:
With new episodes slated to drop the first Friday of every month, the goal of our show is to highlight and focus on unique and interesting personalities from both within and without the American Muslim community, and engage them in what will hopefully be a worthwhile and invigorating conversation not only for the guests, but also for listeners. 

Since its inception in 2013, Diffused Congruence: The American Muslim Experience has been dedicated to highlighting unique and interesting personalities from within the American Muslim community, and engage them in what will hopefully be a worthwhile and invigorating conversation not only for the guests, but also for listeners. We like to think of the podcast as part oral history/personal narrative and part a discussion of critical issues, with listeners feeling as though they are sitting in on a casual (and non-scripted) conversation. Our guests include scholars, thought leaders, academics, artists, actors, journalists, and activists.
