Assessment
Death is life’s ending. Because everyone who is born eventually dies, it is the center of many traditions and organizations. Customs relating to death are a feature of every culture around the world. And, a part of those customs are symbols, which signify or try to make sense of the phenomena.

Website for Docs to Assess Patient’s Likelihood of Death
To help prevent overtesting and overtreatment of older patients, medical guidelines increasingly call for doctors to consider life expectancy as a factor in their decision-making. But clinicians, research has shown, are notoriously poor at predicting how many years their patients have left.

So, this spring, after Dr. McKinley’s cancer found its way into her liver and lungs and the tissue surrounding her brain, she was told she had two treatment options.
What did she do? What would you do?
