While long it is really telling of our struggles with the medical tipping point when our treatments no longer extend life. <br /><br />For some takes on how the palliative medicine field is thinking about the article, check out Pallimed or Geripal (Yeah when I put those two together it sounds kind of silly, but hey that's those are the names.)Christian Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14685043408496367587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760353953251845523.post-41951988104859735832010-07-30T14:47:45.874-04:002010-07-30T14:47:45.874-04:00Very nice read!Very nice read!rlbateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236331355857884458noreply@blogger.com
