Thanks for this excellent presentation. It's tragic that so many of the patients and their families who would benefit most from the hospice conversation, are inclined to shut it down as quickly a possible.
This is a wonderful read. I had my residents, med students, and fellows read this today. You captured what I have been doing in my palliative care practice for years. I really wish there were more Oncologists like you out there. I've used this to discuss many of the interventions we provide like dialysis in this way as well. Thank you (been following you on twitter for some time as well and appreciate your voice)

This is really beautifully written, David — brought my to tears. I wish more doctors saw medicine through your eyes.
I so appreciate your wisdom and compassion. Here's to good days!
