Managing End-of-Life Care

 

Program Description

Helping a patient through the death process can be daunting and is rife with issues. In addition to medical challenges, there are religious/spiritual, emotional, ethical, financial, and legal matters to consider. The patient’s spouse, family members, and close friends often look to the physician to coordinate these matters, and to provide guidance and support as the loved one’s condition deteriorates. Dr. Larimore provides a comprehensive review of the physical and mental aspects of death and dying, and offers advice for helping patients and their families transition smoothly through the patient’s end of life.
