Understanding a patient's emotions during and after a life-threatening experience is one of the most important and humane aspects of practicing medicine, yet it can also be one of the most difficult to understand. There are few ways to comprehend that experience without having personally lived it, or cared for a loved one during that time.
How do we cope with the realities of medical ethics? How do physicians and patients consider the problem of suffering and end-of-life issues? These questions and others were raised at a seminar held on February 4 at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church that featured Dean Antonio Gotto and Dr. Joseph Fins, chief of Weill Cornell's Division of Medical Ethics, as speakers.
