Living the Best Life We Can, When It's Running Out

J. Junker

 

On The Point, we talk about ways physicians, patients and families can work together to make the end of life as fulfilling, peaceful and pain free as possible. Facing death, do patients and doctors sometimes fall back on false hopes and treatments that are actually not improving lives? The value of the quality of life is felt poignantly at the end of life. Guests: David Rehm, President and CEO of Hope Health, Dr. Jorge Alfonso, Medical Director for Hope Health, and Bob Mauterstock, author of Passing the Torch, Critical Conversations with your Adult Children. Mindy Todd hosts.
