Abstract
To the Editor: I appreciate Ms Breiburg and Dr Kuschner taking the time to comment on my editorial entitled ‘‘I’m Dying, but I’m Not Dead Yet: Patient Decisions About Dying and Death.’’1 The authors’ perspectives are particularly germane owing to their service in clinical bioethics to the patients in the Palo Alto, California, Veterans Affairs Health Care System. I am certain they have significant experience in dealing with end-of-life discussions with patients and their families, so I value their comments.This content is limited to qualifying members.
