Atul Gawande’s recommended questions when approaching mortality.
If you or loved one is approaching an end of life struggle, these are four go-to questions you should try to answer with your doctor and each other.
- What is your understanding of your situation and its potential outcomes?
- What are your fears and what are your hopes?
- What trade-offs are you willing to make and not willing to make?
- What course of action best serves this understanding?
