Great point that withdrawal from the ventilator in ICU, albeit likely end of life...is “palliative” in nature and NOT hospice. Often the two are seen as the same when in fact, they are not. Well done.

It is an important concept to know, especially more and more babyboomers are going to be under medicare. I feel that I can do better care according to the patient's will after the lecture.
