dc.description.abstract | I am a palliative care leader who works at a comprehensive cancer center. It has always been my mission to educate my patients and colleagues about the importance of having goals of care discussions with patients with advancing illness, and the time for these discussions is ever more relevant now. In light of the COVID pandemic, I have been facing several unique challenges including the ethics of possible ventilator allocation in light of upcoming shortages and discussions about physician imposed DNR orders in cases of medical futility. This piece focuses on the imperative for us to have more goals of care conversations with all patients, now. | en_US |
