Film Screening: Hippocratic

Part of the End of the Reel film series presented by Salt Spring Hospice at the Salt Spring Public Library Program Room. 

Hippocratic centres on Dr. Rajagopal, an Indian palliative care doctor who does one thing especially well – CARE. His mission? To make effective pain management accessible to all. 7 p.m.

And if that doesn’t sound incredible to you – WAIT. Because what’s so special about this film, is the man at the centre of it. Dr Raj. He treats every patient as it they were family, with a gentle touch here, a half smile there, a hug when it’s needed. Hippocratic is a beautiful, inspiring account of this man’s effort to reduce the misery of others. It’s a movie for everyone, all over the world. So don’t miss out.
