In 1988, Cruzan’s parents requested that her feeding tube be removed, arguing that she would not want to continue in this state.

Because, if anybody hasn’t seen it, you’ve got a great Twitter feed that gives tons of pearls on palliative care and a lot on communication. Speaking of pearls, should we move to Shunichi’s Twitter feed? Alex: Shunichi, your Twitter feed is like haiku. What motivated you to dive into this? Eric: And Abby?

Alex: We are honored to welcome Dr. Rajagopal, who goes by Raj, who is the author of Walk with the Weary: Lessons in Humanity in Healthcare.
