End-of-life decisions and care in the midst of a global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

This article talks about how the Covid pandemic have forced health care providers to start having end of life conversations, often very hastily conversations, since the resources for critical care patients have been greatly reduced due to the pandemic.

This pandemic has clearly shown how ill-prepared all of us are for global crises - hospitals, doctors, nurses and of course, we as individuals.  We cannot prepare for everything, but we can do our part, to bring less confusion to chaotic situations.

We have the power to have a necessary conversation, and to become very clear what's truly important if we are in an end of life situation.  We have the power to make these decisions beforehand.  We have the power to let loved ones know what our wishes are.  We have the power to appoint a health care advocate.  We have the power to get into action.

What is your choice going to be?  Wait for a crisis and see how it works out, or take action, and be part of the solution!
