That Good Night: Dr. Sunita Puri

Dr. Sunita Puri understands what it means to treat patients at the end of life and writes beautifully about the tension between medicine’s impulse to preserve life at all costs and a spiritual embrace

In this episode of Life/Death/Law, Dr. Sunita Puri, Program Director of the Hospice and Palliative Medicine fellowship at University of Massachusetts, and the author of That Good Night: Life and Medicine in the Eleventh Hour, talks about palliative care, what doing “everything” really means, and how to tell your loved ones and your doctors what you do and don’t want at the end of life.
