In episode 3 of Dr Hogg's Pod we meet Sandra Barclay - widower of Andrew Barclay who took his own life at the Swiss clinic Dignitas in 2016 at the age of 65. Andrew had struggled with complications of multiple sclerosis since 1992 and after 24 years he decided enough was enough. Sandra drove her husband 500 miles so he could take a lethal dose of sedative in order to end his life on his own terms. In the second part of the podcast we hear from Dutch General Practitioner Dr Martijn Phaff about his experiences of assisted dying in Holland, a country which is known to practises euthanasia on patients with dementia as well as other terminal conditions.
