Tackling a tough topic: The Importance of Advance Medical Planning

While Americans today strive to control nearly every aspect of their lives, many of us abandon control of life’s final passage. The realities of 21st-century medicine allow most of us to be empowered in these situations, yet most Americans are not taking the simple, free steps that allow this to happen. Physicians have a key role - and responsibility - to play in making this happen. The implications for us personally, for our profession, for our patients, and for the healthcare system in general are primary, but there are legal and economic aspects as well. Dan Morhaim, M.D. provides practical guidance – and a lively and engaging speaking style - to this challenging and universal topic, one we tend to avoid but ought not to.
