Have I mentioned how much I love that stuff is just streaming now? It's still hard to find the shorts but at least a couple of them are on HBO and Netflix now.This 40-min documentary follows patients and family at UCSF medical facilities entering palliative or end of life care and the choices they have to make when it's time to let go.
I feel like we saw this exact same documentary last year. (Okay, it was two years ago and it was called Extremis.) It really is almost the exact same thing, though, down to the one family refusing to let go because they're waiting on a miracle. I guess it's the kind of thing that bears repeating. Have a plan in place for what is going to happen to you if you are incapacitated. Talk to your family about that plan. Make sure that your wishes are going to be respected.
