Letting go: What should medicine do when it can’t save your life? ⇒

   29 July 2010, early afternoon

A piece in the New Yorker by Atul Gawande. I hope it goes without saying that articles about hospice care are going to be more than a little depressing. (The article begins, “Sara Thomas Monopoli was pregnant with her first child when her doctors learned that she was going to die.” Christ.)

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
