Am I Dying?


Yu ‘Dolly’ Bai would like to draw your attention to “Am I Dying? An Honest Answer  a 5 minute TED talk  by  Matthew O’Reilly, a veteran emergency medical technician. In this talk, O’Reilly describes what happens next when a gravely hurt patient asks him: “Am I going to die?”

Donny writes: “In addition to knowing how we want to die - how aggressively we want to pursue treatment, when to switch to hospice care - it may also be important to think about how an actively dying person assesses the value of our her life when time is very short.  O'Reilly speaks about the questions he has heard people ask themselves and him at the end.”
