Great review!

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.

Wonderful. Could you do a course on hospice vs palliative care?

It is very pertinent to an ICU patient in distress.
