"Physicians often share their patients’ sorrow, but rarely their joys -- A Wedding in Intensive Care"

http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/03/19/a-wedding-in-intensive-care/?ref=opinion

"In today’s outcome-driven, efficiency-obsessed medical world, it’s easy to forget that healing patients isn’t just about treating diseases and relieving symptoms. There are things doctors and nurses can do, meaningful interventions — like helping patients fulfill final goals or spend quality time with their families — that cannot be documented in a discharge summary or be converted into a blip on a screen."

An inspirational, human touch story for all doctors and nurses http://t.co/FNDi8Hlw6c Wedding in the ICU

We can choose the life we want to live, shouldn't we also have a say in the death we want to live?

On letting go...
