E248 Hospice physician and End-of-Life researcher human, Chris Kerr, M.D., PhD., is the acclaimed author of Death is But a Dream and the Chief Medical Officer at The Center for Hospice and Palliative Care, in Buffalo, NY. He has researched thousands of patients’ dreams and visions at the end of their lives and has found overwhelming data that supports “a better, less fearful aspect to end of life which includes…inner, subjective experiences. In multiple studies, we have demonstrated that the majority of dying patients experience pre-death dreams which are described as ‘more real than real’ and increase in frequency as death nears.” He most recently was featured on the Netflix special “Surviving Death” and his work has been featured in The New York Times, Atlantic Monthly, the BBC and more. His TEDx talk, “I See Dead People: Dreams and Visions of the Dying,” has garnered millions of views.  Death is But a Dream is also the title of the upcoming documentary about Dr. Kerr’s work.
