What we can do to die well

No subtitles available.
Title:
Que peut-on faire pour mourrir en paix
Speaker:
Timothy Ihrig
Description:

The healthcare industry in America is so focused on pathology, surgery and pharmacology -- on what doctors "do" to patients -- that it often overlooks the values of the human beings it's supposed to care for. Palliative care physician Timothy Ihrig explains the benefits of a different approach, one that fosters a patient's overall quality of life and navigates serious illness from diagnosis to death with dignity and compassion.
