What the Dead Can Teach Us

from Time to Eat the Dogs Hosted by Michael Robinson

Too often, Dr. Pauline Chen argues, the focus on keeping patients alive gets in the way of helping those who are approaching death. Chen shares her experiences as a medical student and transplant surgeon -- the subject of her book Final Exam: A Surgeon's Reflections on Mortality -- and how they've shaped the way she practices medicine.
