@kausmickey not interoperable, end up in people’s bedside drawers, relatives don’t know they are the proxies etc etc. Far from perfect. #hpm
@kausmickey @davidfrum on the other side: https://t.co/zm609gSBEm What often gets elided is the overlap between curative & palliative care 1
@kausmickey @davidfrum e.g., a terminally ill cancer patient with a tumor painfully pressing on some area may benefit from radiation on it 2
@kausmickey Not a Jeb! fan, but an advance directive can state “do everything possible to keep me alive, no matter what”.
