When my husband was dying none of the doctors would tell me he was dying, even though I had to fly our children from Alaska to California. It was a nurse who finally took me aside and whispered that it was time to get them on a plane. Had she not done that they would never have said goodbye to their father. Thank you to all the people in this video, you are heroes.

@teresaarnold53573 жыл бұрын
That's usually because we spend a great deal of time in nursing school discussing the patient-centered elements of medicine, including end-of-life care. We also spend the greatest amount of time with the patients and their families, which places us in better positions to initiate conversations with families about sensitive subjects. If you are a patient or family member in a hospital, especially in an ICU, and a conversation is initiated about death or palliative care, it will likely either be by the nurse directly or indirectly through nursing consults.

Yes, it is kinda nurse job to inform, talk, discuss and plan. I worked as a nurse student but left due to health problems. Most of the nurse education is about planning, discussing, sympathising and not empathising, talking and informing. Decision is always taken by 2+ doctors (depends what care department u are) and the rest is left on with THESE special nurses. When it come to death and pallaiative care so it will be the nurse who will talk before and after the death and not doctors because doctors have so much bigger job and having to see and check up patients in every department. Nurse is the one who has good bond with her department, patience and thier families bec they spend yime with them.

I lost my Dad to lung cancer nearly 6 years ago. When he was diagnosed, he had a lung tumour and a brain tumour. I looked up the prognosis of lung cancer with brain metastases and it was very poor. Once cancer has spread like that, then the person will most definitely die. Anyway at the beginning, I asked so many doctors and nurses if he was going to die and no one would give me a straight answer. It was so frustrating. Eventually, a doctor did answer my question. I told her to be straight with me because I deal better with cold, hard facts. So she said, "not today, not tomorrow, not next week." He had the brain tumour removed first and then had to wait for the lung op. In that time though, the cancer spread all over and he was no longer going to have the surgery, just palliative care. Not one medical professional told my Dad he was dying. My Dad was in complete denial and so when he was told very bluntly to "get all his paperwork in order", he ignored it. He didn't keep up with his life insurance and by the time the company called to renew his policy, he wasn't of sound mind to sign and and so there was no payout. He had paid into that for over 20 years. That left my Mum in so much debt and I had to help her pay the mortgage. When you have just lost someone, that last thing you should be doing is worrying about money. It's unfair. I know it must be so difficult to tell a person they are dying but not telling them makes it so much worse in the long run. These professionals knew full well my Dad didn't have long but kept lying to his face as they 'don't want the patient to lose hope.' Giving my Dad such sense of security made it all the more difficult for him and his family.

When my husband was dying, one doctor wouldn't say the word "die." I was so relieved when our main doctor came in and said "Your husband is going to die, probably in 3 days. Because he is young, it will take a few days for his organs to shut down." I will be FOREVER grateful to that doctor who spoke the truth. It helped my kids and myself process his, my husband's, death. To the families who let us in, thank you for showing your humanity. Thank you NYT for this Op-Docs. No one is every ready!

Detroit is a very segregated city and racism is rampant. During the Covid outbreak many Blacks died because hospitals turned them away and told them to self quarantine at home where they ended up dying because they couldnt get tested, no test to CV confirm Covid meant dying at home due to non treatment. The mother told the doctor her baby interacts with her by smiling and pulling at the mom. What does Dr. Death tell the mom? She tells her to prepare for her death!!!🤔🤨If you withhold the meds that are keeping the baby alive, yes the baby may die! If I'm dehydrated and you refuse me water, eventually I will die from heart and kidney failure. If I need a blood transfusion and I'm refused a blood transfusion, I'm going to die from hypovolemia!!! If a loved on codes and the family has a "do not resuscitate directive" that's acceptable because the person actually died. But for doctors to HELP a person die by withholding artificial nutrients such as hydration via IV or another form of hydration, just seems strange and soooo white but not right!

It's so hard to watch someone suffer up until their last moment and so to take away this idea that we MUST live makes it easier for those people to pass on in quietly. I wrote my final class thesis on this topic and I was greatly disappointed by how little other people (including the professor) understood this issue and how unwilling they were to change their mind.

This really hit home. I was 18 when my mom got cancer again and I just wanted to know how long I had with her left. In her final days there was a hospice nurse who sat with me and her. I wanted to know if she was going to die soon and how much time she had left, the nurse explained her breathing changes, why we couldn’t give her fluids to help her, and other questions I had. I remember when I got the call that her breathing had changed and they told me I should come down, I immediately went to her. Within ten minutes my mom passed away. Just me and her in that room together. Watching her take her last breath was incredibly meaningful to me because I was there for that moment for her. I’m so glad that nurse gave me the truths I needed to hear at the time.

Our baby had a fatal condition diagnosed weeks before birth (after watching this film), so we knew it was unlikely she would make it, especially given that she was born a micropreemie.

On Tuesday the whole floor was filled with her children and grandchildren. She passed away with all of us surrounding her bed and overflowing from her room. We were all able to talk and sit with her while she transitioned. It was a sad but beautiful moment and exactly what she wanted.

And it was so great to hear the mom at the beginning say she was going to be grateful for the time she did have. Such hard stories, no perfect solutions, but definitely a better way here.

Doctors are taught to heal and save life but not how to let life go, communicate about it, and how to support the individual and their loved ones through it. Palliative care NEEDS to be supported and taught better in the education system of our doctors. Thank you for the work you do!

He had trisomy 13 or 18, right? I am not being mean or horrible, I swear. I really want to know: When diagnosed in pregnancy with a genetic disorder, or some horrible defect, like anencephaly, and you know the neonate will not survive, why would it not be preferable to terminate the pregnancy? I know that many opt to be induced into very early labour and delivery, so there is the reality along with a “birth,” and sometimes the neonate lives a few minutes. No option is without pain and trauma, but women can die in pregnancy and delivery, and most of us are aware of the risk and gladly take it. But, to risk for a fetus/neonate whose condition makes him/her incompatible with extra-uterine life, well, I don’t understand this. Which is why I am asking others to offer me their thoughts. I fear I’ll be attacked for asking, and if you need to do this, that’s okay. But, I honestly want to know other points of view. Thank you. And if you choose not to attack me, thanks for that, as well.

I agree... a year ago my mom was on palliative care for a stroke, and then on hospice care, but they told me that it was because she just needed more care. My mom was a bit of a high maintenance person, even before the stroke, so I just attributed to that even though I knew what hospice was. I didn't think it meant that she was dying. If I had known that, I would have treated her last few months differently, instead of hyping her up to get better (i.e. "just think of all the trips we'll be able to take together mom!"). I feel so awful when I think about how insensitive I must have sounded. My dad was in hospice at the same time, but he had cancer, so it was clear to me that he would pass away. When he passed it was very peaceful, for both him and us. Just recently, this happened with my dog. The vet kept suggesting treatments for his heart and kidney disease, and acted kind of ambiguous about it. When I had a different vet see him, she calmly and kindly told me he didn't have very much time left at 17 years old, and the kind thing to do would be to prepare for his death, to make it peaceful for both him and me. It hurt so bad, but it was such a relief at the same time.

I don't think this is how the Manhattanites kid would be treated. This is classism; it's also communism. Wake up all you people calling this Doctor "wonderful"- she is smiling while denying care. The greater good cannot be the priority or we are each worthless. Collectivism is a Marxist, communist idea. In America, we believe that every individual is worth fighting for.

It truly does make such a difference when you have HONEST, but empathetic, compassionate doctors and nurses when that horrific time does come, who don’t just treat them like just another patient and have no empathy because they have seen it so much they become numb to it. And, I know they have to distance themselves and not let every death effect them so intensely, or they would not be able to do their jobs and it would be very bad for their mental health. However, they can still give the best care possible and make an effort to make the ending of someone’s like as humane and comforting and possible. Sending you love and care. ❤️

When my mom started the dying process I was still young - early 30s with a dad that died two years ago, no brothers or sisters, no husband or wife and no kids. And it's still that way. When my mom got really bad unfortunately i was in hysterics. I got a call from the hospital to leave work because all of a sudden my mom took a bad turn for the worse. I cried and cried. They had to actually sit me down and take care of me too. I am a Godly woman. I place my life in the hands of the Lord but, in that moment my faith wavered. I remember waiting for my friend to show up and be there with me and I asked one of the nurses if I could still keep hope. That woman looked up at me and she said " Always keep hope, you can always always keep that." Even now years later - I am sure she has forgotten me but she gave me permission to hope and pray that things could change - even though medically it seemed it couldn't. I wish I could thank her today. I won't ever forget that.

Our culture has come to view death as a medical failure rather than life’s natural conclusion. Death seem more like an option than an obligation. This physical and emotional distance becomes obvious as we make decisions that accompany life’s end. Suffering is like a fire: Those who sit closest feel the most heat; a picture of a fire gives off no warmth. Doing something often feels better than doing nothing. Inaction feeds the sense of guilt-ridden ineptness. We ask ourselves, "Why can't we do more." All moves, end in abdication. To those who are in this specialized work, I commend you. Definitely not for the faint of heart. I used to sit with hospice patients who had no family or friends in their final hours. It’s very bittersweet.

at its worst, the ignorance of death even up to the voluntary denial of its full weight and reality causes us to become indifferent to the dying. ignoring the reality both impersonal deaths and personal deaths causes many to in our society die in the "dark". cruelly but understandably some would rather look away, but even unto the end they are a person and they deserve not to pass alone, ignored, or unspoken to.

We have to accept that it's a part of life. It also helps to think that that soul may have more important work to do in the next life and their body is tired of this life. Like they're trading in an old vehicle for a new one. The body is the vehicle for the soul. Even the dying person must have peace and equanimity while passing. Death is a natural part of life. Why should it be so traumatic? It's because we have so many ego-based attachments - my house, my money, my family, my friends, my job, my business, my husband, wife, mother, father etc etc. Everything is invested in one's identity. And yes many doctors do treat death as an option or a failure of medicine and that's their egos talking.

I disagree. We have issues as a society about death. Everything dies. Most people ignore this fact, deny this fact or believe it is somehow negotiable. Laying it all to rest on the feet of physicians seems very unfair. Those doctors you want to "act human" were (for the most part) raised in the same society as you and I. I am a pediatric nurse; I have coached both families and physicians through the death of a child. This is something that takes practice. It is never easy. Honestly, there are some families and some doctors that reject or get angry with forthrightness. For those individuals, I can only hope that honest assessments will someday be recognized for what it was. (And don't get me wrong, I've lost patients whom I rigorously fought the concept of them dying.) That all being said, I am guessing you've had an experience (or maybe more than one) where someone you loved died and you were not expecting this. I am sorry this happened to you. Truly. I hope that you find your own way to celebrate the relationship you had with your loved, find ways to smile when you remember them, and find a way to say goodbye from a point of peace. Be nice to yourself. Take care.

so sorry for your loss. Its really sad that so many terminally ill babies are euthanized in utero rather than allowing them to be born and giving parents the chance to spend what little precious time they have left with their babies in palliative care. We need more doctors like this, who dedicate their lives to creating better and more humane alternatives than what we currently have now, which is automatically offering abortion in the case of a baby with fatal abnormalities, not to mention the fact that doctors so often get things wrong and many babies who were written off to die in the womb, actually go in to survive or there wasnt anything wrong with them at all! wishing peace and healing to all those who have experienced these tragedies.

She'd want to live healthily to 100, but she'd magically turn back into a baby in her mother's arms at the end. 😢 I think for some faith-based perspectives, this is why people make analogies to dying in God's presence or his arms. Everyone wants that final comfort, security & unconditional love. (Now excuse me while I go cry & reflect on that for the next hour).

As mortuary student, we study the acute awareness of child terminal patients who can understand that they are dying, and how drastically impactful medical institutions are in the role of the grief process that begins in both the patients themselves and their families (most often long before death actually occurs). Death typically is not discussed until we step in, which is less than desirable more a multitude of reasons. I wish more doctors would follow suit of this woman. She's doing an amazing thing.

I completely agree with your comment wholeheartedly. What Dr. Tremonti is doing is bringing closure to these families. Often, people associate palliative care with older individuals - those in the 70’s or 80’s. However, children with terminal illnesses also need palliative care. As a medical student, I believe that palliative care (for ALL ages) should be taught and discussed more often in the medical community, especially to physicians. As Dr. Tremonti stated, many physicians will avoid the talk of death with their patients and their patient’s families because it makes them feel uncomfortable. I feel like part of the reason why it makes doctors feel so uncomfortable is because they practice the ethical notion of beneficence - to do good and promote the well-being of others. Doctors take an oath to ensure that they follow this ethical principle of beneficence. But what kind of beneficence are doctors practicing if their terminally-ill patient are suffering and progressively deteriorating aka dying? When it is finally time to address the elephant in the room (death), it won’t be a “good death” for the patient and the family will be emotionally unprepared. Death is inevitable in the medical community, and it is something that doctors should stop avoiding when the time comes for their patient. I believe that being transparent with a patient on death and dying and providing them appropriate palliative care when the time calls for it IS part of ethical principle of beneficence - to promote the well-being of your patient.

I did not know I could have taken her home for a while, no one told me this was an option and I am still haunted to this cay that I only got to spend half a day with her as I had to leave her behind in the hospital for her to be collected by the undertaker. One year later I had a son and he stopped breathing when he was 5 months old and we discovered he had a rare genetic condition which meant he was incompatible with life and he was going to die. I spent the next 10 months living everyday as if it was his last. He was at home with me, was not on any medication and was the happiest little boy ever until one night his heart stopped and we ended up in hospital. He lived for another 16 hours before he went to sleep in my arms. I literally felt his heart stop beneath my fingers and although it was heartbreaking it was so peaceful as he was surrounded by love for his entire life and I let him go when he wanted to go. I did not let the doctors keep him alive on a ventilator for my sake, I let him chose when to go. What hurts me most is none of my family ever talk anout him as if he never existed because they find it too hard. I love talking about him but no one ever wants to talk about him which makes me so sad as he did live for 15 months and he will remain in my heart forever.

My husband works in the ICU for a major hospital in our area. The hardest part of being a nurse that first year in 2020, was watching families not understand how bad of a situation their loved ones were in, and that the patient would not go home no matter what was done, but the families still did not want to make a choice to utilize hospice because they didn't want to feel the guilt of "letting" Papa/Dad/Grandma/Mom/Husband/Wife/Brother/Sister "go". He absolutely updated his Advanced Care Directive and Living Will. A number of nurses he graduated with ended up with PTSD from this exact situation -- having to keep bodies alive but the person "just isn't there anymore." It's heartbreaking how isolating death and dying can be. Bless these families for allowing us to be part of such a sacred and unbelievably personal moment.

I got used to the typical neuro patients that may not live or will live with machines forever. But Covid got to me so much. You could literally go down the line and count the deaths. I saw a handful make it out of our unit. Of those handful of patients that made it out only another few made it home and returned to normal life. The others IF they made out of ICU needed ventilator support, probably for life, because of all the damage Covid caused. So yes. PTSD. Running out of body bags so we had to wrap them in sheets. No morgue space because the funeral homes had no space or the family couldn’t pick one out of shock and grief. We had to put them on top of one another in our morgue. I hope I never have to witness anything like this again. His also has made me to revise my advanced directive. I don’t want to suffer like those I saw suffer.

I think every doctor and nurse needs to watch this. When I was losing my mom, no one would tell me anything. I went in the nurses station and begged them to just tell me the truth- is it days, hours? Should I be taking a leave of absence? Stay by her bedside 24/7? Please, someone, anyone, be honest. They all awkwardly looked at each other, but no one would say a word. While I know some people “aren’t ready” to hear it, I was giving them every indication I was, and I feel like they failed me. Because her whole team pussyfooted around and played down the severity of her illness, we missed out on so much time with her, and only really knew a few hours before she passed . (Btw in case it’s not clear the reason it was hard to tell the severity because she had been gravely ill for literally years but always managed to be stabilized and come back home so we were like numb to it, desensitized I guess, because they had stabilized her over a dozen times and because no one was honest about how ill she was

I’m very sorry, and you’re right. I’m a retired RN, and I would have told you. You had a right to know, but they didn’t know how to say it. For too many of those who work in medicine, death can feel like a failure instead of the natural closing of a life. With more palliative and hospice programs, I think we’re getting better (more awareness and education), but there’s still a long way to go.

That's the swan-song for the death-cult you are being recruited into. An intensivists job is to RATION health care dollars. You've all just been emotionally manipulated to accept that they will NOT try to save Giovanni's life. WHY? Because the billionaires running the hospital corporation don't want to spend the money. Notice, they did not tell us what was so bad that COULD NOT be corrected. I don't think this is how the Manhattanites kid would be treated. This is classism; it's also communism. Wake up all you people calling this Doctor "wonderful"- she is smiling while denying care. The greater good cannot be the priority or we are each worthless. Collectivism is a Marxist, communist idea. In America, we believe that every individual is worth fighting for. Turn away from anything and everything presented to you by the NYT company. They are leading you down the garden path to the end of American freedom and liberties for the benefit of the Globalist "Liberal" World Order. There is not a lot of time left, we need your help waking others.

Teaching about death should be a thing. Who knew that the last sense a person loses after medical death is hearing? And that it can take several minutes to stop hearing? Thanks to knowing that, I hope I will be able to give my parents a better death by not allowing my cries to be the last thing they hear before leaving. I sincerely am terrified of death, but if by tackling it I can make it better for those around me AND teach those around me to make it better for me when my time comes, then you can be 100% sure that I'm gonna learn as much about death as I can

My dad died Thanksgiving 2018. I was in the ICU with him, my mom, & my 2 sisters. My mom & i lived with him & took care of him & watched him get sicker & sicker instead of better. While it was obviously the worse thing i ever went thru, I was very quiet & at peace with it happening. So was my mom. My sisters, however, were SCREAMING hysterically. I was trying to get them to shut up cuz these are his last moments with us & he didn't need to hear all that. I know I shouldn't be mad at them for acting that way cuz it was obviously a horrible horrible moment for all of us but I just wish they didn't do that

I think this is needed. The worst thing is having false hope. This year on Valentine’s Day my sibling passed from leukaemia. The doctors always told my family, childhood leukaemia was 80 percent curable. Even when he was very obviously dying, on life support, I was deluded into thinking there would be a 50 percent chance when there wasn’t. I still remember that day so vividly, it was unreal, it was so obvious he was going to die but I was so angry, so angry, that I was told he had half a chance. I really believed it with my soul too that he would live. The whole experience tore apart my family, I don’t even speak to some of my other siblings anymore. It would of been a million times easier if someone had told me the reality before it was too late. I would of had no regrets. People say, never regret life, but if someone is dying, and you know they are going to die, there is certain duties you need to fulfil towards them before they pass. I never got to fulfil some of them.

For several years, now, I have cross stitched angels, sent them to someone who makes baby blankets, sews the angels onto little baby blankets. The blankets are given to people who have very sick babies. The childs name & birth date is sewn onto the blanket when possible. Often, the blanket is all that the parents take home from the hospital. At times, when work & life was extremely busy, I had wanted to skip a month or two of stitching the angels. After seeing this? It makes me happy to do the work to comfort people I will probably never meet, touching their lives with love, just the same.
