Here’s something to think about when putting your end-of-life affairs in order.
It’s not a frequent topic of discussion, but doctors die, too. And they don’t die like the rest of us. What’s unusual about them is not how much treatment they get compared to most Americans, but how little. For all the time they spend fending off the deaths of others, they tend to be fairly serene when faced with death themselves. They know exactly what is going to happen, they know the choices, and they generally have access to any sort of medical care they could want. But they go gently.
Great post Mark, thank you for sharing the article.
My mother (an RN) has made clear her wishes which are very in-line with this article, and this gave me a lot more insight as to why.
