"Why (not) me?" Why doctors do it differently......

In this study, almost 90% of surveyed physicians, presumably healthy, would forego resuscitation efforts for themselves.In our next #hpm chat, on Wednesday, April 20th, 2016, let’s unpack this head-scratching situation together--not just for doctors, but for all of us…nurses, social workers, chaplains, program folks… that have reason to think differently about the nature of modern dying and our desired intensity of medical treatment.Topic 1: What do you think about those of us in healthcare, with knowledge about the limitations of modern medicine, choosing less of it?  Topic 2: What is your belief and / or perspective on our healthcare system often inflicting harm rather than delivering value?Topic 3: What explains the disconnect between what healthcare practitioners know & what the public expects? How might we bridge that divide? Topic 4: How does your belief about the success or failures of the healthcare system influence your practice?   Michael D.
