Very informative and practical especially in terms of the analogy which can be used to simplify explaining this difficult process to patients and families.

Great review!
RENEE GIBBS, RN
I found it fascinating. I definitely don’t think patients realize what they are agreeing to when they say they want to be a Full Code. And I don’t think doctors explain it enough when they are trying to fill out the MOLST form. And the statistics he mentioned about survival were very interesting.
