Podcast of ExBEM: Episode 40 - How People Die : Part One

Ever thought in detail about how people die?  I suppose that for most this morbid subject is not dwelled upon, but for 40 years it has been a big part of my job.  Experience has taught me that people die in many ways.  And this is a problem since most medical personnel are trained to understand one model of the dying process and it is one that they are unlikely to often encounter. On this podcast I outline a different scheme for understanding this process that will finally allow caregivers to progress beyond ACLS.
