    Yes, I think we all had our fair share of cases where palliative care was never a consideration and every heroic measure was instituted in a futile situation. Then you have the good cases where the...

    Grobyc82 replied to Grobyc82's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Grobyc82 replied to Wheaties's topic in Health, Stress Management
