- Abstract
In this narrative medicine essay, an emergency medicine physician recalls an encounter early in her career when she was asked by parents to make a recommendation regarding ending life support for a young child, reflects on the way practice has changed from physician-centric to patient-involved decision-making, and discusses how her husband's pancreatic cancer diagnosis brought up a different perspective.
