Seven questions to discuss with loved ones to improve end-of-life health care.
Living wills have not been shown to improve end-of-life. The limitation of living wills is that it is impossible to predict the enormous and nuanced array of possible scenarios that may occur in a setting of grave illness. What has been shown to be most effective is having conversations with family members, preferably over a period of time, so that family can really understand the values, wishes, and fears of their loved one.
What are your fears, and what would you most like to avoid? For a heart or lung patient, it might be a feeling of suffocation. For a cancer patient, it may be pain. You can reassure your loved one that you will discuss these concerns with your health care team to make you as comfortable as possible.
