The Docs recount their experiences navigating "end of life" conversations and managing expectations for their patients.
When should "end of life", "goals of care" and hospice conversations be introduced to patient discussions? How can these conversations be made easier for providers, patients, and their families? What is the best way to manage expectations for patients, while giving the agency and without taking away their hope? This week, The Docs go into all of this and more, recounting their own experiences with patients.
