A 'Code Death' for Dying Patients
By Jessica Nutik Zitter, M.D.
“…physicians need to relearn the ancient art of dying. When
planned for, death can be a peaceful, even transcendent experience. Just as a
midwife devises a birth plan with her patient, one that prepares for the best
and accommodates the worst, so we doctors must learn at least something about
midwifing death."
This essay is a keeper.
