We need to strike it from our vocabulary and leave sort of a gap in the clinical vernacular about how we talk about life-sustaining treatment. I have never had a patient come into the hospital and say, Doctor, regardless of what you do, do a little CPR that’ll make me feel better. This is Eric Widera. Alex: This is Alex Smith.
